Average Jane Is Glad It’s Friday

This week felt as though it simultaneously rushed by and dragged on endlessly.  Even though the weekend will be just as hectic, I’ll be happy for the chance to at least sleep in once or twice.

I took the morning off from work yesterday, primarily to go to the doctor about the fact that I still get heartburn all the time despite the acid reflux medicine I take every morning. I doubted there was much she could do for me and I was right. She’s going to try having me take two doses a day for a couple of months and see if that settles things down.

She also lectured me a bit about my diet and it looks like I’m going to have to be better about avoiding some of my faves: ketchup, food containing tomato sauce (but I can make stuff with fresh tomatoes), vinegar, etc. Of course, I’m also supposed to limit caffeine, but I only drink it in the morning anyway.

Before my doctor’s appointment, I had an appointment in the same part of town to get my eyebrows tidied up.  While I was there, I invested in some decent makeup for once: Jane Iredale PurePressed Base.  It took some experimentation to settle on the right shade, but I think I’m really going to like it.

For my vocal lesson yesterday evening, I decided it would be nice to work on my ballad singing skills so I downloaded the karaoke track for "My Immortal" by Evanescence. It’s going well so far.

I had the house to myself after my vocal lesson, so I had drive-thru Schlotzsky’s for dinner and watched "My Name is Earl" and "The Office" with the cats.  (They were really more sleeping than watching.)

This weekend my husband has a gig with a country band tonight and Saturday, but that’s okay because I have a happy hour tonight and a book club meeting on Saturday.  On Sunday, we have a recording session scheduled with our guitarist and bass player.

So there’s my non-exciting life in a nutshell.  How’s your weekend looking?

    today: TV on the Radio at amoeba records in Hollywood
    Saturday: clean house thoroughly
    Sunday: pick up mle of Pantalones del Fuego in SD, hang out for a while, swing by La Hovelle and then go to the Massive Attack and TV on the Radio show at the Hollywood Bowl.
    I’m going to drive her back because she’s flying out of SD. I’ll probably be back by the time work rolls around. I don’t think I’ve put one of my all-nighters since I passed the IL bar so I’m looking forward to some excitement.

    I’ve got to read the same book as you for book club. And I just bought it yesterday. Gulp.

    I know what you mean about this week. I both can’t believe Friday is here already and feel like Monday was about three weeks ago.

    Goofy Girl – I read it in one day, if it makes you feel any better.

    I have a heartburn problem, too. Once I ended up in the hospital with an inflamed stomach lining or some such thing. The docs told me: No alcohol, cigarettes, tomato products, cheese, etc. I went to the grocery store and looked for “bland” food and almost cried at the thought of never eating anything yummy ever again. I didn’t eat tomato things or drink any alcohol and survived on bagels and bread and bread-related non-tomato non-alcohol/cheese items for about 2 months and it all went away. Sound like fun? 🙂

    death in the family, so it was exhausting.
