Well, the laptop came home safe and sound from its vacation to the Dell repair center. Still haven't checked to see if the cd/dvd drive works, but I'll get around to it. Anyhoo, it's friday, and I don't have to work tomorrow, which is wonderful. I have been working up to seven days a week between Wally World, Liz, and my own photography gigs.
Dark Haired Girl is finally pretty much back to normal, now that she has recovered from both of her surgeries. It's good to have her back. Not only me, but she says that a bunch of people have described her with the word "glowing". She does now. She just glows.
I bought her a pink Snuggie last night. She LOVES it. :-)
So anyway, I'd talk more, but it's date night. We haven't really had the chance to do that since July, and it's taken a bit of a toll on our relationship. Nothing dramatic, and certainly nothing that can't be reclaimed in short order. I miss canoodling with her, and through her illness and recovery canoodleage has been a rare commodity. Not her fault, and I'm not complaining. I just miss touching her.
I'm at Winan's Coffee down by the Dayton Mall after getting off work with Liz, and have been hearing sirens repeatedly screaming by. I know it's damp outside, and my tires are damn near as bald as drag racing slicks. Dreading the drive back up I75 through downtown Dayton and all of the accompanying perils. They're completely re-doing the highway through town, and the construction redirections have the road less like a highway and more like a slalom course.
Luckily, four new tires for the Mirthmobile, especially with my 10% employee discount, will only be about $220-ish. Now that I've bought all the photo gear that I really need to get my job done, I can focus on saving more and maybe even getting out of Mom's house by sometime in the first half of next year. Still paying off the back rent from Cleveland, but I've finally got it chipped down to about $375. Since I'm still waiting for a recent wedding's print order, as well as sales from the latest group home portrait shoot, I should be able to get some new tires and have Cleveland paid off in no time.
Dark Haired Girl and I are planning to weekend in Cleveland in December when her beloved Steelers come to play the Browns. Equal parts excited and dreading it. I know I'll get emotional, but it'll be nice to see Al at the Creekside and Jimmy at the Clubhouse again. May even stop by to chat with the fine folks at my old employer. Hopefully we'll get some good wind coming off the lake and I can show her the winter surfers at Edgewater Park.
I guess I should go. It's 6:30, this chair is KILLING my butt, and there's a hot chick in Bradford, Ohio waiting to go out with me.
