leaving the house

its been a lame few days (sickness and well some laziness too) but im leaving the house right now AND im not wearing sweatpants (its tempting not caring what you look like here because no one else does, and my sweatpants are a lot nicer than most peoples regular clothes here in downtown denver - not bragging, its just a fact)  so i might see a movie or go read magazines at the bookstore. either way its the most excitement ive had all week.  and im missing you guys a ton.

  i really want one of these.

pulling my hair out because

im still carless. ira at prestige audi hears from me EVERY day - and every day he says the same thing -"we're just getting the parts on and then...... hopefully tomorrow." ira im sick of your lies. your inability to accomplish a task is impeding (to retard in movement or progress by means of obstacles or hindrances; obstruct; hinder) my life in a large way. HURRY UP IRA!

ive just been sitting around my apartment and taking walks around scary downtown denver trying not to spend money. i can't wait to have my station wagon back in working order cause then im out of here. the mountains got feet of snow last night, i need to get there.

old japanese ski bums

nothing great to report today BUT i did just drop my toothbrush into the toilet.... bummer. also i met an amazing japanese family today. the aunt and uncle of my patient are 84, 88 and still ski! unbelievable! they were headed up to aspen on monday for their annual winter ski luau.... really though these people were incredible, they both seemed to enjoy life and their attitudes were outstandingly positive. this is why i love the elderly and in turn my job. going back for more tomorrow  

encinitas, colorado

i did make it to boulder yesterday. it was pretty great.... i felt like i was in a cold encinitas/santa cruz at the foot of a mountain range. pretty great. they even had a juanita's mexican food! should have moved there... 

upsetting news: i left my ipod in taschas car. hopefully she had enough sense to grab it before taking off for boston... otherwise i hope she'll overnight it. i can't take another taxi with out it. 

waiting around

woke up at 1040 this morning, lounged around, got some quarters at the bank to do laundry, went to starbucks for coffee, and am currently sitting on the couch waiting for tascha to get back from aspen (cause she wouldn't wait for me to go with her). im carless and have been taking yellow cab taxi to and from work ($14 each way). work is going well, so busy but the day goes by fast and i feel like a real nurse again. im drinking a lot of caffiene (im off sugar again) so falling asleep isn't easy - especially when people are banging around in the hallways of my apt building. suppose to go to boulder today with tascha, if she ever gets here.
