Tails of a 17th Street Geisha

I’m home sick from work. All week I had cold symptoms that I thought were allergies. It’s cherry blossom time and my allergies ALWAYS act up this time of year. This morning was the worst and I really thought I had a cold. I’m still not sure what I have.

I decide that this is the perfect time for spring cleaning. If I clean out the dust, that will help minimize allergies too.

I’ve been having such a bad year. Work has been stressful, love life has been bustling and yet still oddly unsatisfying, running has been sporadic… and I haven’t even mentioned the unimaginable news of my sister dying of a cancer that was caught too late. I haven’t been dealing with this and as a result, have not been able to go to sleep before 1am any night of the week.

I miss my best friend Paul who moved to North Carolina for graduate school @ Duke.

Well, this sounds depressing so I’ll start thinking of positives:

**haven’t had a drink since last July, so I’m sticking to my guns

**got nearly 5,000 bucks back in taxes

**have great friends in DC and I’m considering going back to my fag-hagging days sans alcohol

**the weather is niceI

oh, and I’m knee deep in spring cleaning! I’m not only cleaning out my condo, but i’m cleaning out all the creeps, assholes and toxic-friends from my life! I’ve already sent some "we can’t be friends" emails out and I feel like a load has been lifted. I tend to waste a LOT of time on people who I give the benefit of the doubt, in spite of objective 3rd party opinions (all my friends.) All my friends tell me that when i’m friends with these toxic people that I devalue their friendship! Seriously, if I spend more time talking to this guy, I spend less time, partying with my real friends.

Back to the big cleanup….
