so tomorrow starts a week of vacation for me....or as I should put it, a "stay-cation." the only thing I have planned for leaving is an Alice in Chains concert on Friday.
Tomorrow I'm organizing my Heroclix collection, so I can get doubles in a box and everything. my cousin orders the product through his comic book store, and we have some new kids learning how to play (one is maybe 12....he started playing in May and almost beat me this past weekend....and I've been playing about 3 or more years now). I plan on getting a bunch of the doubles in a box for this kid (I have a feeling his parents don't make a lot of money, considering his dad works 2 jobs. plus he's a good kid so I have no problem giving him a bunch of clix (told him one time to read the powers sheets....he came back the following week with questions and his dad said he studied the the powers sheet over the week).
and my mom wants to go gambling on Wednesday.
so yeah, that's about all I have planned. I will have August through October of being super busy at my job (lots going on). and then I'm going to take some time off in November and December (in part, because I can only carry over about 160 hours of paid time off...so if I don't use it I lose it). might do something, might do nothing for all the paid time off. the nice part of being how I am mentally, I have no qualms doing very little and enjoying it. let's hear it for being a strong introvert.
hmm, what else? still haven't met the woman my cousin's girlfriend wants to fix me up with. I shall call her "Elle" (not her name, but French speakers might understand). well, Elle's uncle died recently and it was hard on her. my cousin tells me she's not in a place now to date. fine by me....I'm more interested in just meeting her, to see if we get along or not. who says we have to date to meet each other? but what do I know.
and that's the closest I have come to a date in a decade (or more). I guess I could change things up, but the only other place I know where singles mingle is a bar....and I don't like bars. I don't drink alcohol, I don't like being around those who drink, and I don't like lots of activity going on around me. so what else is someone to do? thankfully I can handle being single and alone. always figured I would die alone, so I'm not expecting anything more.
so that's about all for me....how is everyone else's life going?
