splash

Lovely day at the pool Thursday. I took my cousin's kids. 7 and 14. Except neither one can really swim. And while I might not be the strongest or most form correct, I am at home in the water. Lots of "Look I can swim underwater!" With only her face in the water, splashing out half the pool. "Can I swim to you (in the deep end) or walk to you?" Sure you walk and see what happens. There is a very sharp drop off from shallow to deep. My arms are still white from all the sunblock but I missed one spot on my shoulder. So one is burnt, I've been wearing a strapless for two days. I got some sun on my face even though I wore 50 spf, sunglasses that covered me from cheek to eyebrow, and a ball cap.

blind

I'm not seeing very well right now. My eyes are dilated. But I'm getting new contacts and a new pair of glasses, so it was all worth it. Even with this blinding sun headache. I'm wearing a hat and sunglasses right now. I should have gotten the old lady free pair from the eye doctor.

I had a dream last night that I didn't even remember until I was looking at "you knit what." I dreamed that I was walking into Kroger and a woman was walking out wearing that asymmetrical sweater. That was the whole dream, that I remember.

I went out with LB last night to eat. Also with a friend of hers. Whom I hated. Couldn't stand her the whole time. And I can tell her influence in LB's behavior and I like that even less. But LB didn't ask what I thought of her so I didn't offer my opinion, but she probably knew. Plus she made fun of my purse and my knitting. She asked what I was doing and when I told her that I was making a sock, she asked- "Are you getting paid for that?" No. Wtf? Why the hell should I be getting paid for it. I'm sorry if going out and getting shit faced everynight is not my hobby. I do something productive. And when I was telling them how I wanted the Jordana Paige knitting purse but it was 90 dollars, she all snottily asked me what it was so expensive. Cause that's the price she set- fuck if I know!

I'm going to take a nap with a cool cloth over my brow.

Finally

After almost a week and a half my boss is returning from vacation. Praise Be! She is a good friend as well as my immediate supervisor. Plus with the whole thing she had going on with trying to transfer and maybe getting it, then not getting it, and having her job posted for transfers, and me thinking that I should apply. All for naught.

Babysat last week, but it was my last time. I really miss those kids now. If they hadn't moved we could have had a long relationship. Sniff. The next two days after they left I was still really "on." Thinking I heard them, like I was still on the job.

I have got on every good prospect at work. The boy is all over me. Why? I have no idea. Always calling me Babe and what not. But I do the same thing to everybody. And yesterday he was really rubbing on my arm whilst standing next to me. Plus he is the perfect height. Head to shoulder resting ratio achieved! The bad part? He is only 18 and a freshman in college. Too young! Plus he goes to school somewhere else and is back for the summer. I'm pretty sure its in KY but I can't remember.

I'm about 1/2 inch into my Jaywalker, and I did my first short row tow and have moved on to the foot of my first toe up from the flo up sock. I would have started the second already but I only have one ball of yarn. Maybe tomorrow I will split and wind two balls.
