checkin' in

I had a good day. I stayed in last night and caught up on sleep and then today went to lunch at Scotty's. It was really nice to feel connected to my community. After lunch we went for a walk to the pier. I just enjoyed being outside, hanging out with friends and taking advantage of living in this cool neighborhood. I wore a cute outfit and accesorized and felt cute. It motivated me to want to go out tonight but when I got home and put on sweats, I was totally ready to stay in. I figured I could stay in and get work done - although the likelihood of getting work done- slim to non-existent. In the end I got cuted up and went out with Juliet, the guy she is seeing and his friends. I can't say I had a great time or felt particularly cute once we were out in a trendy club but I got out and met new people. I didn't really click with any of them but I still had a nice time. i didn't feel like I had interesting things to say but then I just reminded myself that I know I am cool and interesting whether or not these people see it and i don't actually think that they are all that interesting. It mostly worked. I felt connected and cool and interesting when I was at lunch and I also felt like I was with interesting people. It is nice and fun to meet new people and it is good to get out but it is also great to spend time with the people I know and value, with people who know and value me. We went to two trendy places and to a bistoro and I just got in at 5:30. I really need to get work done tomorrow. I have Anne's engagement party, I am adminstering the WISC on Gracie and I need to finish my neurochem paper. That said, I should probably get to sleep.
