Today was my day off, and I don't really have a ton to write about.

I woke up at my usual time because I needed to turn something back on at work. See, I can't even really have a full day off, but oh well, I went back to bed and slept until 10:30. I was to have lunch with Athena at around 11:30. So, I just puttered around and watched TV before getting ready to meet her. Well, she didn't get free from work until noon, which was no big deal except for the fact that I was STARVING!

We went to a local pizza joint in the closest thing to a gay area that Indianapolis has, and we proceeded to shoot the shit about a lot of things, which also included further dissection of the Tyler situation. She has been worried about me since my postmortem blog, and I assured her that I was pretty much sanguine about the whole situation. The fact remains that if something like this hadn't happened on Tuesday. It would have happened soon. It happens.

After lunch, we walked down to one of the little curio shops to purchase cards for Blanch for his birthday. Athena cannot join in the festivities tonight, but I get to deliver her card. I should really purchase a gift, but we've never really been gift exchangers...plus the fact of the matter is that I can't afford that AND dinner and drinking tonight. All signs point to me getting a second job soon, especially with Christmas coming up. *sigh*

When I got home, I had a message on MySpace from one half of one of the couples who were there on Saturday night. In the course of Tyler and my argument on Sunday, he had said that I was so out of line with some of the things I said that this particular couple had gone to bed instead of listen to me spout off. I took this at face value because Tyler had stayed up later than me, and I assumed he had more of an insight. What he didn't know is that I had been friends with this particular person for probably close to 8 years, and I had sent off an apology to them on Sunday. Well, as it turns out, they weren't upset at all, and he was pretty emphatic that if I had offended them they were no shrinking violets and they would have said so. This news relieved me to no end. As I've stated, I tend to process and process negativity basically flogging myself for it over and over again. Well, as you can imagine, this has been going on for a week, and now it turns out to be an over-exaggeration, a complete misreading, or an utter fabrication on Tyler's part. I don't know how to feel about that particular thought, but frankly, while I know I still offended Tyler, I do feel a certain amount of vindication from this revelation. It actually made my day. :)

After playing some Nintendo, I went to go to the tanning bed, and now I am just wasting time until I go to meet everyone for the night's festivities. It is HOTTER than hell here today, and I'm not looking forward to all the sweating tonight is going to bring. Hot and humid weather does not make looking cute any easier.

I do now know if I'm going to be posting anymore this weekend, but I will be back on schedule come Monday. Have a good weekend!
