I found out last night that my ex-bf (I dated him right before my bf now) had a heart attack last week and quadruple by pass surgery. He's 33 and a firefighter in the army. I texted him to ask if he was ok and he said he has been better, he made a joke during our text exchange so hopefully that means he is still in good spirits. So scary.
I gave a friend a gift today for being there for me through my breakup and being a great friend, even though the past two weeks or so have been rough on both of us. I've been not speaking to him due to just wanting to be alone and have my own space, and he's been going through some personal stuff as well. When I saw him and gave him the gift, he was floored. I'm happy he knows that I appreciate him and I do hope our friendship can work itself out because I miss him.
I'm a little depressed today as I was yesterday. I need to get out of this funk.

They "fixed" my computer. Turns out a security patch sent out in advance of XP being no longer supported is causing security essentials to break XP. FUN!
mp, I e-mailed wine guy this morning. He didn't judge me for drinking it with chocolate
I switched from my heavier face moisturizer back to a BB cream last week, and my skin looks so much better. It's like my power foundation sits a lot lighter on my skin and I'm so much less greasy/uneven.
I talked to my mom this morning and she said my grandpa is not doing very well. He has stage 3 rectal cancer and is really struggling with chemo. I wish there was something I could do - I think I'm going to send a card or flowers or something. I feel kind of bad that I didn't go home for Easter, though it sounds like he wasn't really able to enjoy it much anyway and I did just see him a few weeks ago when he was feeling better and could have a nicer visit. He's 83 and I know he won't be around forever, but I suddenly feel like I should be around more and try to get more time with him in since it sounds likely he won't be around much longer (there is no reason to think death is imminent but probably not more than another couple of years, if we're lucky to get that long). It sucks.
I am home for the day, gotta study for finals that start Thursday. I did go to officemax and got a new planner (I use the academic july-june kind), and I'm probably too excited about this.
Then I went to target and this crazy woman behind me in a pretty short line whined and got someone to open up a new lane because she didn't want to wait. She barked at the girl running the register because no one else was open, like it was her fault. New lady comes and opens so she immediately runs over there and the woman couldn't work the register so she hadn't even started checking out when I left. It made me giggle.
Sometimes in life you have to wait in line, I don't get why people don't understand this concept.

I'm sick. Blarg. I thought it was allergies but it turns out it is a virus. Eating a salad with balsamic vinegar as dressing. It burns my throat like a mo'fo but I'm too lazy to get something else to eat.
I still have pressure from my Sinus infection. I'm feeling miserable from that and I also just feel really down and depressed. I'm still trying to coax myself out of bed.

Uggg I'm feeling super sick as well. It's the worst! Hope you feel better soon.

I'm also loving the weather. At this point, I'm back in my normal weather zone. I'll be loving nearly all of the weather aside from any natural disasters until approximately next Jan-Feb. I like a bit of winter, I just tend to get tired of it by Jan/Feb - also, I really don't like repetitive snow like we had around here. I might like it better if I lived somewhere where I/the area was more equipped for it.
As far as other randoms go, I'm tentatively planning to meet a couple of guys from OkC soon who have the potential to be interesting. I mean, anything can happen so who knows? I have a particular soft spot for one of them but I'm open to meeting either and they both seem like nice guys in different ways. That's a reason why I want to meet each of them in the same weekend or something if possible. I am interested in seeing what happens.
Oh, and I hate school right this minute. So much to do and the semester is nearly over. Damnit, I want to coast into finals, not run a last minute marathon!

Let me pass you a beer :beer: - as I am sitting her having one at 3PM because I too am sooooo fed up with school right now and have way to much to do in the next two weeks.

I'm going to join the I hate school club! Finals start Thursday, I need to care and start studying. Alas, I don't.

I spent the whole weekend with friends and need a break. I'm cranky after having to walk miles out of my way to get home because of the Marathon (ok, a dumb whine but whatever) and now my friend came home with me to wait for her BF to get off work. OMG go home! I'm tired and need to poop and nap!
ETA: This coming Sunday will be exactly 1 year since he first sent me a FB message admitting he had feelings for me. I can't believe it's been a year! I deflected him for a few weeks, saying I just wanted to be friends. But damn if he didn't charm his hilarious ass into my pants!

So T needed to buy some shoes for the wedding we have in AL on Saturday. He's wearing linen pants/shirt and needed a pair of Sperry-type shoes. We went to a store near us in HH yesterday, but like most places they didn't have his size. He's a 14 and usually has to special order them. The girl at the store recommended trying another store on the island. Today we got up and intended on going there but couldn't remember the name, tried searching online and nothing. So T wanted some Dunks coffee BAD and even though the only one on the island was 5 miles away I agreed to drive there. On the way back I spotted a shopping plaza and suggested we see if there were any stores that might sell men's shoes. As we drove around I spotted Belk's and said "that's the store we were supposed to go to!" What are the chances?! So we went in and couldn't find the men's stuff, learned it was in a separate building next door, but I found myself a cute Lilly Pulitzer dress that was marked down 65%. Awesome, because I wasn't loving the dress I brought to wear to the wedding and this will be perfect. While I was paying, T asked the sales associate if the men's dept sold shoes in his size, she didn't know but offered to call over. The person there said generally not, but they did just get a return of size 14 Sperry's. So we went over, they were the perfect color and fit! It was like those shoes were meant to be his and fate was not letting us pass them by!
I had gotten a bill for my homeowner's insurance last month, so I sent in a check. Today, in the mail, I get a check back from the insurance company for the same amount. I called to question it and turns out I set it up to pay it out of escrow. So, I am now several hundred dollars richer
