I really, really dislike that monkey... my monkey only got 2 coconuts... I'd rather not say how many the computer's monkey got... almost 30....
Aside from that, the week was pretty good. Although, there was Friday evening....
My mom, her friend and I all went out to this Italian restaurant to see some friends of theirs play music. We arrive, and they're getting all set up, and we tell the greeter that we'd like to be seated in the corner that they would be playing in. Her first question was "Are you going to eat?"
................
No. No, we're not going to eat. We regularly come to restaurants at dinner time just to sit and chat.
And my mood went down hill from there. I was trying so hard not to be bitchy, and be friendly to people, smile as my mom introduced me to her friends, some of whom I'd met before. But apparently that wasn't going so hot, and I did get snippy. I'm going to have to apologize to some people... I may be good at being a bitch, but that doesn't mean I enjoy doing it to people who don't really deserve to be on the receiving end.
It took us a half hour to get to a table, and then another fifteen minutes to even get our menus. I was sitting there thinking "It's taking us this long to get a freakin' menu, how long is the food going to take?!" I was trying to focus on other things, like listening to her friends sing, and I was actually enjoying them. I even sang along with a few songs I knew. The problem was I was very hungry to begin with, and we'd been sitting around for nearly an hour and hadn't even gotten the complimentary breadsticks at that point. My mom could obviously tell I was in a sour mood, and asked me if I needed to go. I think she was also kinda hinting at my leaving was a good idea. I did, and I went and got some food, and after I had food in me, my mood was just fine. I think from now on what I gotta do is have a little something in my purse in case events like that ever happen again.
Sunday, I took my dog Nevada to his testing for his Canine Good Citizen certificate. Reason being is I would love for him to be a therapy dog, and be able to take him to hospitals and nursing homes so that he can put a smile on people's faces. He's a very loving dog, and so I know it's something he'd be good at. And he passed the test! So now I think what I'll do is get into the volunteer program with the Red Cross, who has a Therapy dog program. Hopefully it'll be soon that we can start doing this.
Throughout the week, I had several more neuro feedback sessions (as mentioned, via the monkey) as well as a few others with the various doctors I see. I mentioned sleep issues to one of my doctors, and he said the biggest thing was to try and limit my computer time, especially around bed time. I'm trying it out, hopefully I can stick to it.
Tomorrow, I am going to see The Avengers! I am very very excited for this movie, I've actually been looking forward to it for a while. Is it wrong that I am kinda rooting for Loki? I know he's the villain, but I just loved what Tom Hiddleston did with the character. And Tom Hiddleston is also very very handsome... and his voice...
I'll be sure to post another blog with a review of the movie when I'm done seeing it. There will (obviously) be spoilers, so don't read if you haven't seen it by the time I post it! Don't worry, I'm not going to the Midnight showing. I won't lie, I was tempted, but seeing as how I'm trying to put myself on a better sleep schedule, it just wouldn't have been a good idea. Oh well. Maybe I'll be feeling more up to it when Thor 2 comes out!
