Let’s see…the last week I’ve been sick. Feeling extra warm during the summer is not my cup of tea. Now I think I have strep-throat. Don’t get me started on Kaiser Hospital. I hate HMO’s. So I get a bottle of penicillin that I would have to take for 10 days. That is no big deal but this morning I woke up feeling supreme nausea. The nausea being a side-effect of the meds makes me wary of taking more. Somehow starving and feeling like vomiting at the same time doesn’t sit well with me, I just don’t know why. So after a full day of playing phone tag with the busy HMO finally the brilliant suggestion to stop taking the meds until a new prescription could be issued was handed down. And that was the selected winner for today’s top “well duh!” moment. Finally I was able to eat something, a welcomed change from earlier. I’m just happy I was well enough to sell beads at Pride this year. B does it every year and invited me to join her. I’m no stranger to Pride but it was so nice to be there with her and not my sister. Big sis showed up too, of course.

Later that day, with my most heinous sunburn, I attended a bonfire. I saw guys I haven’t seen in the longest time. Included in that list of long lost friends and fiends was B’s ex who I had a crush on at the time of their “getting together.” But that relationship was a low point of our friendship. He’s still cute. I think he was flirting with me, but maybe he was poorly alluding to the unfortunate relationship between him and B. She wasn’t very nice to him because she gets frightened of guys easily. There’s something in her nature that when a guy pays too much attention she pulls back and becomes anxious. I can’t explain it well but then I’m not the one that should have to. Somewhere out there is a lucky guy who will have to do very little to please her and will in fact have to make attempts to be nearly insensitive to her needs to please her.

There is just something about watching dolphins hunt fish. People like dolphins, but they’re hunters too. Sure sharks attack people but besides that there is no real difference. While on the subject of the difference of creatures, women are more in tune with nature. The moon cycle plays an important role to both the natural world and a woman. Why are human males so unaffected? Are they? Makes one curious to whether moon cycles effect men at all. Seems like an interesting set of experiments worth the otherwise wasted time.

Pixie-sticks need to come in all-red packs. Someone make all-red packs. That would rule. Let’s see the new medication is cephalexin. I’m happy that I don’t get sick much. Talking about drugs bores. There is something just so calming about the voices on the Discovery channel. Comfort radiates from this gentleyet firm voices. Writing a journal entry with regularity is hard. I’d rather just sleep. I think sometimes I’d prefer just to sleep my life away. Perhaps the difficulty in waking up is due the heat from the summer sun.
