Hi,everyone, I’m still here.  I’ve been incredibly tired this week and haven’t had the motivation to post.  Saturday night was a friend of mine’s birthday so a big group of use went to a local bar where we stayed until closing time and then we moved on to a restaurant for a couple more hours.  I didn’t get to bed until almost 5am Sunday morning.  This week I’ve been babysitting my cousin, who has strep, which means getting up early and then not being able to do much during the day and that just makes me more tired.  When I’ve had a minute to spare I’ve been knitting on my blanket and I just past the halfway mark.  The decrease rows go so much faster so I’m hoping to be finished soon so I can get back to my sweater.  That’s all the crafty stuff I’ve been doing.

What I have been doing is a ton of reading.  I’m so hooked on the HBO show True Blood that I decided to read the books even though it would spoil the series.  I’ve been averaging almost one book a day, I’ve read the first five and about half of the sixth since Saturday.  Granted they are short books and they’re a little fluffy but they aren’t bad and the easy books are  just what I need after reading The Shock Doctrine for so long.

I’m also hooked on the Shiba Inu Puppy Cam.  They puppies are adorable.

I’ve mentioned that I don’t get out much and I don’t see my friends very often and going out Saturday was just what I needed, especially after spending my birthday alone.  I have quite a few old friends that I haven’t seen in years and I ran in to two of them.  The first I actually stood next to for about twenty minutes before we even recognized each other, which is so weird.  The second is someone I spent a lot of time with and we parted on not the best terms, he never did recognize me (that’s what I’ve heard, at least).  It’s really strange, I haven’t seen either of them in about five or six years but I don’t look that different.  Glasses and a hair cut (I was still shaving my head the last time I saw one of them) hasn’t changed me that much.  I had a great time, though, and I really need to get out more often, I miss my friends.
