Today I'll be standing behind a drill rig all day long. It could be worse, and it certainly beats sitting behind a computer on a lovely day like today. My big hope for the morning is that I'll have big strapping young drillers to fantasize about while they move heavy equipment for me.
I'm taking Sassy's approach tonight and going out on my own. At the Boston Harbor Hotel they show black and white movies outside on Friday nights. Tonight's feature is To Kill A Mockingbird. I'm looking forward to it. It was one of the few school assignments that I really embraced.
Last week I had another appointment with the surgeon. I'm scheduled for surgery on my knee in a little over a month. In the pre-op paperwork there is a direction to have a responsible driver who would be able to drive me home afterward. Fuck. My life is small, I live 3,000 miles from most of my friends and family, so these days and I don't really have one. It's unsettling to think about. When push comes to shove, I can get my sister to come out from western Massachusetts to drive me home and laugh at me trying to get up the stairs to my apartment on crutches. The reality of it all is a little spinster-depressing though. Perhaps between now and then I'll meet Mr. Right to nurse me back to health. A girl can dream.

- Wouldn't you like to know? . . . In case you would: I'm a girl. I'm in my late 30s. I was born under the glyph of death on the Mayan calendar. Yes, I'm Hispanic among a multitude of other cultures. I'm politically bored and incorrect. I don't pray or prey. I'm a scientist, but probably should have been a housewife. I'm not in a relationship. Sorry ladies, I like the fellers. I knit, but it's not likely you'll ever see my work on the internet. I wish I was a better writer. And while I'm wishing . . . I wish I was thinner, and made more money, and that things would get easier. I like it when I'm not all victimy.
Laughing at Tragedy!

Good for you for going out on your own!
I hope the surgery goes well. I'm sorry you are feeling a little off, but from what I've read, you do have a very interesting life.
Have a great time tonight, Fresh. And what a brilliant movie to go see.
Perhaps one of those strapping young drillers will carry you home after your op.
Good luck!
Good luck with that drill rig... and the driller fantasies;)
Sassy~ It seems I'm always a little "off". I've gotten pretty darned good at it. You have a superfantastic weekend as well!
Dive~ I'm fired up about seeing the flick.
I think I'll ask the one with Popeye forearms and the trashy tattoos if he would be so kind as to assist. Maybe I can get him to rub my... er... shoulders as well...
Art~ Honestly, I've never bagged a driller in real life, but the fantasies... Dios mio!
Have a great time seeing mockingbird, I love that movie. And you'll find someone to get you back from the op. Positive thoughts hun xoxo
