a quickie

I lied. She did want to go out with me. I read her all wrong, because just as I was settling into my PJ's and doing flashcards with the kid, she called and said "Hey! I just got out of the shower. Did you give up?". Which, I laughingly admitted I did. But we ended up going for a few drinks. And we went and bullshat with the boy (i shouldn't call him a boy, although he is 5 years younger than I) for a few hours while he was shooting pool. Lori was watching him shoot pool and panting, quietly, to herself. Then, he left and we finished our drinks and our conversation and we came home.

I fell asleep almost immediately (it was only 11:15) but woke up around 2:30 with fucking allergies. Coughing seems to be my most intense symptom this year, that awful tickle in my throat over these stupid allergies is going to drive me batty... I did see a flash of an article that this is going to be one of the worst allergy seasons to date. Color me hopeful that it's hyberbole. I'm off to read my celeb gossip fix...
