strange weekend

elionwyrWe have a weekend guest, sorta last-minute...Stacy, an ex-Academy employee who moved to DC to be with her LD boyfriend (a relationship which broke up about 6 months later)..now she's lonely and wanting to come back, so she sporatically drives up here, crashes with us, and either works at the museum part time or runs to the NJ shore with other museum people.
So she came over, and Maura stopped by, and we watched "Fishing with Gandhi" again - a movie I can't say I like, necessarily, but I think it's sorta interesting, and stupid enough to be funny (sorta a low-budget modern day interpretation of Hamlet) (sorta). But Maura and Ferret are very hooked on it. So we watched it again. (http://www.medianugget.com/archive/20000228.html)(www.royandgil.com)
Ferret, I forgot to mention, cut off his hair last week. 8( He went to the Hair Cuttery, and they butchered the cut, but left a ponytail - so he had a mullet. Maura offered to cut it off; finally his coworkers took a vote, and the mullet lost. So now he's simply sporting a short cut.
..And yes, it's one more reason for me to NOT get a hair cut. Even though I need one rather badly. They just did *such* a bad job.
We visited Ferret's mom today - she sprained her ankle at work, which inflamed and became a royal mess - she's saying she broke it, but when she actually tells the story, there is no breakage, there is just swollen foot..and big story. But amazingly enough, both his brother and grandmother were home (they all live on the same block/street), so we got a lot of family visiting in.
I am realizing that I simply can't afford to go to the Ohio Haunted Conference..which is a bummer. But it's realistic. On the other hand, the trip to Sleepy Hollow has gotten longer, because my ride plans on staying in NY until Monday night - apparently people want to visit Jeckyll and Hyde in NYC - I visited the now-closed one in Chicago, but there's still an appeal, so..eh. It'll be fun. And it'll be a belated birthday gift to myself (as the convergence trips usually are).
I'm still feeling restless, uncomfortable in my own skin, with my own body. Hard to describe. But Maura's sorta having the same feelings, so perhaps it's not just me. Still..just weird. Like, I find myself wanting to call people and just chat..something I simply Do.Not.Do.
Oh - and so I don't forget - she suggested I ask my doctor about a relatively new birth control pill, Yasmin - it has no testosterone in it, and has helped her a lot with the curse of hormonal mood swings. Sure can't hurt, I suppose...
(..And yes. This was a post about nothing, really.)
