unrelated bits and pieces

My grandmother is doing better, but the outlook is still uncertain.

It seems to confuse people badly when they try to insult me, and I agree with them. Go figure. (Why yes, I *am* a barefooted tree-hugging hippy freak. Thank you for noticing!)

Today is nice out. I rejoice in this fact, and celebrate by wearing a skirt, to the bafflement of some of my co-workers. Odd, how wearing skirts *usually* makes me feel like I'm in drag. With the sole exception of really flowy, intentionally wrinkled skirts.

Dresses, however, always make me feel like I'm in drag. But that's ok, because that amuses me. Continuing with the idea of making myself feel like I'm in drag, I'm *also* wearing nail polish on both fingers and toes.

No jewelry at the moment, though. Aside from my watch. Which always lives on my wrist. Funny, how my ears were pierced while I was still a baby, but I so rarely *wear* earrings. Instead, my jewelry decorates the walls of my apartment. Because, oddly, I *like* jewelry, esp with semi-precious stones in it. But I never wear it.

Saturday was *not* nice out. And I went to earthfest anyway. Wet, cold, windy. And somehow, polar fleece is perhaps not the wisest choice for rainy days...

Sunday was my older sister's baby shower. That was strange. My younger sister and I both felt a lot out of place. Something about not planning to have any children any time soon, we decided.

Mildly amusing how my sisters and I generally tend to spend at least part of our time together bitching about our family. Feels a bit strange, that, though.

Sister graduates from MIT on June 9th. Then, she goes to Chicago for a couple months. Then, she goes to Chili for 4 months to work with the father of the fiancee of a friend of hers. Something about self-sustaining architecture. Considering that her major was architecture, this makes sense. I must visit her in Chili.

And, when she gets back, she goes back to Chicago to join her boyfriend there. I must also visit her in Chicago after she returns from Chili.

See - everyone I know keeps wandering off. Gives me excellent excuses to visit them. One of these days, I need to figure out where *I* want to wander off to. But I want to do a bit of traveling first, to figure this out.

'k. Off to meeting. Ick.
