The Kimono.
Mood:

Damn I know I should be a little more excited about this, but I've had SUCH a tough day that when the kimono finally arrived I took it out, my mom and I sort of uhh'ed and aahhh'ed for a bit, then Bandit walked across it a few times so I finally had to put it away. It is beautiful though, and although it's not silk it feels like silk to the touch and it's VERY heavy and very wonderful looking. I can't wait to hang it downstairs on a nice laquered rod.

That being said, I quickly went back to work, then did an invoice, finally finished at around 5:40, talked to Red some and then went to do the bike. Then went outside to read until 7, then went for a walk, came back, gave Bandit a little bath, talked to a strange person and finally did abs. In between all that I felt sorry for myself and my utter detatchment from my friends.

And the crappy thing is, I KNOW they actually understand (most of them do anyway), but I don't think that's an excuse to be negligent. That's the thing though... I just don't even have the energy to e-mail anyone. I barely haev the energy to write entries anymore *sigh*. I may need to quit work for real, lately they've been giving me too MUCH work, this week was supposed to be my "slow" week but now I'm left drained and bereathed *sigh*.

I don't even remember if I wrote about my day writh Red... did I? *Goes and checks*. Well fuck, I didn't. That was yesterday. What an AWESOME day! Red took me all around UBC and showed me where my classes were and all the other little buildings I needed to know. Now the whole campus doesn't seem so baffling. We got the Add/Drop course form and my UBC ID and UPass. Then we took a little break and went a bit offcampus to this used bookstore and to get something to eat at the food court. Of course they ended up having this INSANELY good Sushi place so I got a sushi box and Red ordered a small pizza upstairs. We ate and talked and then went into the bookstore and decided to pick up my books (something I hadn't planned).

The ones we couldn't find there we picked up at the on-campus bookstore (I also picked up 2 new Geisha books for myself, hehehe). So with an almost 100 lbs load of books we headed towards the car, deposited everything, looked around some more and finally headed towards the mall. By then I wasn't truly in a shopping mood, although I knew I absolutely needed to buy a few things so I ended up picking up a new pair of jeans and this cute sweater.

Everything else I'll pick up after school starts. This way I'll be able to see exactly what I need (different shoes, more sweaters, that type of thing). Thankfully all of my classes are about a 5 minute walk from eachother so at least that.

It was a full day, we did a little over 5 hours worth of walking, then came home and collapsed. I planned to relax today but no deal, I had a ton of work to make up for because I took Wednesday off, and I'm sure Red had the same thing going for him. Maybe tomorrow will be a bit slower. I REALLY just want to sit down and read somewhere. I want to relax *sigh*, but I suppose that's what the weekend is for. With my current schedule (I actually discovered a pleasant schedule surprise, I end school at 1 on Friday's) I should be able to do all my school work and work during the week and have weekends COMLETELY off. If I can do that it would be amazing, even if I don't have time for anything else.
