I think the scariest part of yesterday was when the cell phones were working again and I still couldn't get an answer.
The past two days have definitely been rife with tears.

I finally decided to deal with my dead laptop which has been dead for months now. The issue is that it will no longer charge, so I was hoping it's just a little "change the charger connection" repair. However, in HPs, this part is apparently connected to the motherboard. Which is around $700 to replace. Therefore, the gentleman suggested that it's not even worth it, and I might as well just buy a new computer. Which would be great, if I had the money to buy a new computer. Suck, suck, suck.
I wonder if I can buy my own motherboard and replace it myself. It wouldn't be the first time I've done some crazy repairs on my own computer while knowing essentially nothing.

I have slept AWFULLY the past couple of days, which sucks wicked hard. On Friday night, I was out late and had drunk a bit, but still, it doesn't typically affect my sleep negatively. I went to bed and had nightmares and woke up CONSTANTLY throughout the night, which resulted in me staying in bed until like 5 p.m. tossing and turning and unsuccessfully trying to get some rest.
Last night I went to bed and couldn't fall asleep for ages. Finally I fell asleep and stayed semi-asleep, but still when I woke up, I didn't feel awesomely rested.
Not getting decent sleep is one of the top things that will send me into a downward spiral, so I'm pretty concerned that my sleep has been so fucked up all week, and in particular these past couple of days, especially with tomorrow being a work day. Not quite sure what to do. *le sigh*
Yesterday was Alyse's last day and we went out after work to celebrate her moving on to graduate school. Between Thursday and Friday, Jay and I managed to collect $200 from the office staff, which I used to buy a Target giftcard for her going-away gift since she's going to have to build her apartment from scratch in Denver (she's only taking what fits in her car). We went out to lunch as a group, the old folks, the new folks, the moving on folks.
After work, we went out to TGIFriday's, because there's a big bar space and plenty of parking. As things dwindled, our core group decided to move on to Town Line Bowling (on the border of Malden and Melrose, thus the name) for atomic bowling. It was ten-pin (which is "regular" bowling for all of you outside of Massachusetts and "big ball" bowling for those of you who don't) and I haven't played ten-pin in five years (I fell in love with candlepin when I moved here.), so I lost so hard. But it gave Alyse and I an excuse to pop into Target to buy new outfits really quickly before heading over.
It was a ton of fun, and it's tough to believe that in 25 days, Alyse and I will be driving out to Denver to move her into her new apartment. I'm looking forward to the trip. It'll be weird on Monday not to have her in the office.
Amy and I had an hour-long heart-to-heart last night which made Friend Things feel a lot better. Clearing the air and being honest is a nice thing, and I like that I have friends I can do that with. I'm officially no longer mad at Everyone.
Today I made it to work early, even after brewing an iced coffee at home and eating a banana on my drive to work, as well as dressing up nicely and blow drying and styling my hair.
It was a calm day at work, which was a nice treat, especially given the way things have gone lately, PLUS I got good news on two of my cases, which was really nice.
Tonight I went to Cafe 939 to see The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players. Rachel sang a song on the uke about pigeons that she wrote herself, and it was accompanied by feltboard art instead of slides. There were adorable pigeons flying around and a pigeon in a cab ("pigeons are citizens too, they have things to do like me and you"). Rachel and her mom and I discussed our mutual love of pigeons and I thought of you,

joifulgirl, and that maybe I can teach you to love pigeons eventually. :)I haven't cried today. Keep your fingers crossed.
