Mingling With the Crowd

I am wearing the new scarf I bought that I thought was “me” at MACY’s San Francisco. I saw it when I was with Chad last Saturday.

It’s hard to floss my teeth regularly. I always forget. I have a dentist appointment on January 9th, so I better floss regularly!

I telephoned Chad this afternoon. I was hoping he’d be home but he wasn’t. I left word with Larry.
“Oh, just let him know I called,” I said.

I went with Margaret Lai after work to the Pac Tel Info Systems Open House. I met Emmalene Yee. We drank wine and champagne. We ate sushi and other hors d’oeuvres. It was fun mingling with the crowd. Margaret enjoyed it.

I returned to the office and Dale Orlando was waiting for me. We had to continue on with our committee functions. We had to deal with buying door prizes at Price Club for our Christmas Cruise. We arrived at Price Club at about 8:15PM. It was a mad house there! We saw Michelle there. She was kind of rude to me. I was glad when it was all over. Dale and I chose a number of pretty good door prizes.  Then we went off and 'exploded' over something or another and I didn’t say a whole lot to him.  I still feel he’s a big asshole.

I was home by 10:15PM. I was just getting in to bed when I figured I should give Chad a phone call. He may have returned my call. As it turned out he was just falling asleep.
“No, its okay, I’m glad to hear from you,” Chad said deliriously.
“Really?” I asked.
“Yes, where were you all night?”
I explained.  Rest-assured we ended up having a restful, caring conversation. I learned he has two finals tomorrow (History and Math).
Chad said groggily, “I have to wake up at 4:30 in the morning.”
And so, we didn’t say a whole lot except the general mushiness.


I went to sleep. Chad went to sleep.
