The band played on

Just a quick entry before I have to leave work and go home to my hothouse. I'm very happy that it's Friday and the start of a long weekend for me. I made sure to get everything done so I can relax for the weekend. It was quite a busy day for me. It even included stressing out over the phone bill and CRYING to the SBC account manager I have been talking to every fucking month...trying and TRYING to resolve all of these billing issues. I refuse to talk to any more people in any more fucking departments. I cannot BELEIVE the incompetence, it just FLOORS me that they can't fix it after six fucking months!!!! It's driving me insane. I finally broke down because I simply cannot justify paying an $880.00 phone bill when our bills were always between $250 and $400 per month. Each month things have gotten more and more screwed up because some fuckhead in some department did something wrong. I especially want to resolve this bullshit because the owner of the company will be staying here from the 29th of July to the 18th of August! She's a nice lady yadda yadda but her type A personality really gets on my nerves after a (little) while. She's a rich workaholic. We are entirely different people. So yea... Vacation time for me. And soon after I get back, I'm sitting both my bosses and the shipping lady down for a company meeting. We need to communicate a little more than we have been. And I am getting my raise! Hmph!

Yesterday I got to leave work early to go to a doctor's appointment. I wanted to go to an M.D. and see if I could get some help with my costly prescriptions. She helped me out quite a bit. Plus I finally only had to pay a co-pay, instead of full out of pocket like I always have been. Fuck, I don't think I've ever had a decent insurance plan. I also got my third PAP smear of the year. My other two came out with a few abnormal cells. Nothing serious, says gyno, just keep coming back for these goddamned expensive-ass tests. The fact that I had to drive all the way to shits-ville downtown L.A. (the closest gyno my other shitty discount plan could find for me) didn't help at all. I just hope there's nothing too wrong with me. I'll find out in a couple of weeks. I'm going to try not to worry too much. *gulp* I'm tired of all these doctors appointments.

Last night was fun. HOT, but fun. I picked up Devon from Melanie's on my way home from my appointment. He's staying at Melanie's until he leaves to go back to China on the 28th. Since Melanie wasn't home from work yet, we got to spend some time talking. It was fun filling him in on all the ex bullshit and things that Melanie had already heard. It was also quite interesting hearing about his China adventures. Quite interesting INDEED. Then we went to my house and met up with Melanie and Rich. Devon was fascinted by Rosie spider. He actually held her! Everyone is petrified of her, even Ron. Devon has been thinking about getting one because they're so intriguing and cool looking. It helps that they're so low maintenance, too. For dinner we ordered pizza and breadsticks. I totally pigged out. I think it's partly because I waited too long to order and it took a while to arrive. Everyone was starving. I'm a great hostess! Devon and I went out later and got a cherry pie. Ooooh I was bad...of course we were all high so I had twice as much food as I normally would. PIGGY. But it was fun, what the hell! We spent much of the evening out on my cute porch, surrounded by the cool candle torches Melanie gave me for my birthday. Now there's a lovely coat of wax on parts of my plants. Oh, and my porch. It's probably all melted again. Once everyone left, around 10:30 or so, I had another peice of cherry pie (oink) and donned my wet clothes for bed. This time I just put on my shorts and tank top and jumped in the shower to give myself a nice blast of cold water...WOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo-eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh... And then, yes, the fffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnn........

I'm very excited, only one more sleep 'til I gedda seen Ronnie poopie poopie poop! Okay, I'll stop calling him that...really. Um yea, and I get to sleep in! I don't know how fun that will be in this oppressive heat, but I'll make the best of it. If I have to I'll just wet myself again. No, in the shower... Hehehe...wet myself... I think tomorrow will be spent vegging around (and having lots of sex) with Ron. Can't wait! He said he should be at my house by noon. That's about when I'll want to drag myself out of bed. Maybe Sunday we'll hit the beach before we go to the Robert Plant show. It's a local show, which is great, and it's not until the evening. I hated having to drive all that way to the Priest concert, that sucked. Especially on the way home when we were tired and drunk.

Wow, so much for the "quick entry". I just don't want to go hooooome. It's gonna be so hooooot. I HATE THIS WEATHER! MAKE IT STOP!!! Seriously, should I go pick up a kiddie pool? Have it in the middle of the living room? Hehe, maybe. Maybe I'll go swimming at Melanie's tonight. I'll most likely end up going there to hang with them anyway, seeing as I won't see them Saturday or Sunday. But we will be spending time together camping. We decided to go to the mountains instead, I think I may have mentioned that in my last entry. The desert = complete HELL this time of year. No shit, eh?

Okay, it's time to go. I guess I'll stop off and eat something in air conditioning, somewhere... Not sure where. Maybe get a sandwhich. I don't know. I hope Pickles still has all his feathers when I get home!
