It’s Wednesday night, after 11:30 p.m. and I am waiting for my load of laundry to finish. This part-time job is killing me. I have no time to do laundry — and no pants to wear tomorrow! I know the extra $$ will be worth it but this really sucks. I finally fell asleep last night about 12:30 a.m. Believe me, 6 a.m. came quickly.

I have another date on Saturday with the guy I went out with last week. He called today to finalize the plans. How nice! ; ) It’s a daytime date, as I’m going out with friends for my birthday that night. I really am looking forward to seeing Jesse again. In addition to being smart and a good conversationalist, he is fun — a quality that has been lacking in previous dates. He seems to be good about “checking in,” calling me every few days — but the conversations are all under 10 minutes, which is all right with me. I’ve been burned before by guys who want to spend hours on the phone but are very awkward in person.

MJCF e-mailed me yesterday to thank ME for the thank-you card I sent him. He also threw in a few jokey comments. Witty banter is not what I want from him. I didn’t respond, nor do I plan to. I can’t. He hung around here so long on Saturday that he must have had something to say or been mulling something over in his mind … but he kept his trap shut. He has to open up to me if he wants to stay in contact with me. I’m not going to make it easy for him … but I’m also not holding my breath.

Oh on a funny note, I’ve been bitching for months that I can hardly hear my cell phone when it rings, even on the “loud” setting. Tonight I figured out why: The ringer volume was set at 1. Oops. I turned it up to 5 and now I can hear it with no problems. I guess sleep-deprivation is good for something, like insane problem solving lol.
