anam cara

So I don't know what is going on, but I'm in a damn good mood right now. I had to get up early today for a doctor's appointment, but it went well. I wasn't happy with the doctor I had chosen before so I had to look up another in the same area that took my insurance and was accepting new patients. Knowing nothing about who I was getting, I picked a name and made an appointment. I wish I had done that ages ago (you know, since I won't have a job or insurance in about a week). My previous doctor didn't really listen to what I was telling him and I felt like he was very dismissive. New doctor listened, took me seriously, I had blood drawn and tomorrow morning I have to call to set up an ultrasound. Unfortunately if there IS something, I won't have enough time to really do anything about it, but at least I can know one way or another? I don't know, but I definitely like this doctor A LOT better.

I listened to a new podfic on the way to the hospital. Had time to finish it and everything! Great story by messageredacted and great reading by pandarus. After the appointment (they took my blooooood), my mom was actually able to pick me up and drop me off at work saving me time and money (didn't have to wait/pay for bus). I got Quinos for lunch but still had time to kill so I went into Spirit (the Halloween store) and bought a fake black rose, a creepy laughing pumpkin keychain, and these awesome earrings.

Work was whatever.

Come home to all new Community (ABED. All caps.), It's Always Sunny, Sh*t My Dad Says (which I still haven't watched an episode of), Never Mind the Buzzcocks (NOEL!), and A History of Horror with Mark Gatiss (new to me). AND I find out that The Hobbit is a go and Martin Freeman is officially going to be Bilbo Baggins!!♥!!

They all look so worried at first.

Also, I have a WHOLE WEEKEND off for the first time in forever, so I'm taking the train to San Jose to spend some time with my dad, stepmom, and sister. I'm also going to go the Star Trek exhibit at the Tech and I'm gonna get my Girl Scout cookies from my sister. Mmmmm... cookies.

On Tuesday, I'm buying Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day on DVD, and on Thursday my friend and I are going to see the one-night-only showing of the original Boondock Saints in the theatre by my house.

And my friend from San Diego is moving back to Santa Cruz soon, so I should be able to see her sometime in the near future.

If you can't already tell, I'm in a pretty good mood, despite some reasons not to be. But there are some things I'm excited about and I'm going to focus on those. Including another happy-making thing, but I'm going to make a separate entry for that.

My friend's in early labor right now!

She's still at home for the moment though. Of course I would be the only manager working tomorrow. I'll have to visit her after I get off of work.

But still! I'm going to be an auntie!!
