Sick as a dog.
Sore throat, congested nasal canal, the works.
Listening to nothing but songs from the 50’s, I don’t quite understand why.
I think I blame Jules.
Glad to be home, Christmas was pleasant. The evening I got home, Kenzie kidnapped me and we baked ginger cookies, then I spent the night at her house and the day after we ran a bunch of errands and we ended up crashing this old people party, and I think we both fell in love with one of the ladies there.
Even she pointed out it was Jules when she reached her 60’s. We both agreed we want to be like her when we’re old ladies. None of the glamour loss, still vibrant, and waking up every morning asking ourselves ‘How much fun can I have today?’.
Oh, and the British accents, because the lady was British. We need the accents. Well, I need it more than Kenz does, given she doesn’t fail at it the way I do.
So I’m kind of no longer allowed to have any more existential crisis after meeting that wonderful lady.
Today my cousins arrived (I can never quite escape them, can I?) so we went to their condo to watch a movie while the adults caught up and dealt with the set of crisis going on due to overdue bills, then went to eat tacos in this delicious taco place.
I like being in my room again, and sleeping on my bed, and seeing my shelves filled with my books… though I miss having more people around even if it’s just in the background.
Being back home is triggering a lot of stuff with Jules & Richard (the story is set here, after all), so Kenz and I need to go exploring downtown and taking pictures so I won’t have to rely so much on memory when I go back to Guad and want to write about them.
Been reading books on escorting to get a better picture of Jules & Alice during her years in Seattle (just after Richard, right before Cass), and they’re interesting. Also helpful for my profession, but as always, anything I read is meant to fuel character development, with my potential profession only serving as the benefitting accident, or very well the excuse.
I kind of want to go blonde now, just for the heck of it. Except if I was going to go back to dying my hair on a regular basis, I’d go back to red…which is sort of what my hair has been trying to fade out of for the last year despite supposedly dying it back to brown. Not complaining about the color now though. I kind of like it.
Jules is putting me through a vanity regime ‘supposedly’ starting New Years, but I think we’re starting out tomorrow, if I’m going to be parading around half naked in a bikini on a regular basis until mid-Jan.
I’ll be sick for my birthday like last year.
Just my luck.
Oh well.
It’s 2am, and a new day— how much fun can I have today?
