Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to, things that upset you

Rich got me again. Twice. I woke up this morning and as I headed down the stairs, I heard his bedroom door creak open ever so slowly---I think he tries to avoid detection---followed by the soft padding of his feet towards the bathroom, and then the bathroom door closing, right as I reached the bottom stair. I tightened the reins on my bowels and I made breakfast until I heard him skulk back to his lair.



After taking care of business, I poured my coffee and went upstairs. As I was closing my bedroom door, I heard his open again, creaking like a tomb. I waited to hear if he was making a second trip to the bathroom. He was. Oh, joy, I thought, by the time I'm ready to use the bathroom again, I'll need a dust mask.



In the end it wasn't so bad, and my morning wasn't ruined, though one of these days I'm going to get the upper hand.

Last night I had a dream in which I was at a party and heard my friend Rebecca's distinct laugh coming from another room. That was it. I woke up thinking about her---it's been a while since we last spoke---and went to her Myspace page so I could send her a message. When I got there, I realized that she had just celebrated her birthday the day before. Interesting. My dreams have been mildly prophetic lately. Let's see if the trend continues.



Well, I'm pretty certain at least one of my close friends has some kind of beef with me. Don't know to what degree, but something's up. I'm pretty sure another of my close friends is in the same boat. I'm not distraught over my observations because A) I'm not even sure there's anything tangible going on and B)if there is, I don't think it's due to anything particular; could be we just need time apart. Or, who knows, maybe I did something inconsiderate that was taken personally and I don't have a clue as to what it is.

Don't know if I'll be able to squeeze a run in after work. Amanda's dropping by when she gets out of work, which is about the same time I leave, so, unless I make it a quick one, it probably won't happen. I skipped a run yesterday in favor of yoga, which was one of the better sessions I've had. I'm starting to become all stretchy-like.

Ok, back to the grind.
