It's Friday the 13th, so I won't be trying to have any fun tonight. I'm horrible at tempting fate. I'd rather have the good karma sneak up and surprise me in the end. And I know the fates are waiting to be tempted because today is the first cold day of a really hot week. It's been foggy ALL day. And when I say hot, I mean uncomfortably hot. Like in the 90s or so. No fog or wind in sight.
No wonder fires are breaking out all over the Bay Area... Bad business that.
I'd rather sit at home and write about how I feel. I think the people in my life appreciate me. Not too many of them are telling me how much they do appreciate me. My boss thinks I'm cool. This is a good thing. Getting praise from your boss is WAY awesome. Rae and Lindsay are very much into complimenting me. They both have giving personalities. I mean, Lindsay's studying to be an aesthetician. Free facials people!!
M was a doll to me during my birthday week. And now I'm being the emotionally available friend he needs. He's got some serious financial and professional situations to deal with. I can't relate to them at all, so I'm just listening. Well, I can relate to how he's feeling. I have no advice for him, nor do I plan to put in my two cents other than "I hear that" and "Tell me 'bout it". Of course, I tailor those types of answers for what he's saying at the time. And I mean them sincerely. Even if they might sound like typical call-and-answer baptist sermon type stuff.... But I'm being there for him. However I can be. I just hope he sees that I'm being there for him.
I think I'm a lucky girl. I've got a lot of things in my life that are really positive. You're probably scratching your head right now and asking yourself: Where is the cynical Liz that we love? No worries, she's still here. She's just smiling at the moment.
