5.9.01

ooh, traumatic day yesterday. started at 5 yesterday morning with the domestic dispute across the street. then i had to take zeke to the vet, which is always as traumatic for me as it is for him. for the first two blocks he howls..then he winds up into his i’m-sick-or-hurt meow, which makes it impossible for me to drive or do anything competently. the drive to idaho is going to be really rough. then, there was a trip to the dentist to have this massive cavity filled, and although it didn’t actually hurt thanks to the anesthetic, i have this theory that general trauma to the body still wears you out as the body tries to cope with the massive hole that was drilled into your tooth. the day got better after that – lauren and i went to the flower market, met joe at work, ate lunch at a cafe downtown, went shopping for ridiculously expensive shoes at macy’s (camper shoes at 50% off are still out of my price range…too bad i cracked and bought them anyway), and then watched buffy and angel. this morning i’m trying to decide whether to return the shoes or not. they’re these neat flat mary-jane style shoe, in a super-shiny dark green patent leather. but i realize that i could buy approximately 10 paris of velvet china flats in china town for the price of these shoes, and the china flats have almost the same shape. i think i’ve just talked myself out of the shoes. well, back to macy’s and china town tomorrow i guess.
