Weather is lying to me. It says it's 55* here, but it's not. I am freezing! I think I might try and drag out the electric blanket tomorrow.

Today be a holiday. So what did I do today? I almost got hit in the face with a pigeon. That was basically almost the high point of the day. I was meeting Steven in the city for lunch with himself, Sam, and Dana*. I went to Quincy Adams because I couldn't remember how to get to Wollaston. I'm going to remember, though, because it's $5 to park now. It used to be $3.

Anyhow, the train got there and I'm getting on when this apparently-trapped pigeon comes flapping for hell out the door. It caught my cheek and that was because I ducked seeing the bastard come flying at me. I should have gone home then. Any day that starts with a pigeon nearly hitting you cannot go well.

Lunch was good. I can't remember where we went, but I got a sandwich the size of my head. Half of it is going to be tomorrow's lunch. It also came with a baby green salad with oil and basalmic vinegar dressing. This was only $8.50! Sam wanted pastry after, so we went to Modern. It had a HUGE line, but usually the line there moves quickly. Not this time. We were there forever and then, not as soon as I had taken a bite of my pastry, in come kids with balloons.

Here's where I point out that I am an idiot. I don't carry my EpiPen all the time. I have one in the car some of the time and usually I remember to shove one in my bag. I also don't remember to bring my inhaler all the time. Today was one of those days.

I was halfway to the door when my throat started closing. There were two people, one of which had a balloon, in my way. I choked out "Latex allgery, MOVE!" and the woman, mother I assume, gave me a nasty look, refused to move, and put her arm around the kid like I was personally offending them. I shoved them out of my way. When I was outside, I actually had a few minutes of my throat being completely shut, probably because of those couple minutes I had to spend shoving my way out. The stupid rib I cracked is killing me from all the hacking I did and I'm exhausted now.

Anyhow, what the hell is wrong with people that they don't move when someone says something like that? I know from experience I look like shit when I start having a reaction. I get splotchy and hivey and turn kind of pinky-purple. Why would you continue to block the goddamn door and more still, but your arm around your kid?? I mean, really, do you think I was kidding about any of this so I could shove people?

I've been basically sacked out on the couch since I got home. I talked to my neighbour for a while, but now I'm stretched out watching DwtS**. I'm so glad they've got Pretty Boy Floyd on there even if I don't think he can really dance as well as he talks trash, but I like him. No one's going to beat my girl Leila last season though. She was ripped off with third.

Steven's got shit to do, which means he won't be home for another hour or so. That means bachelor night for me! I'm probably going to drink beer for dinner because I'd have to cook otherwise. If I have a chocolate stout, that's like a full meal with dessert, isn't it? I once justified tequila as veg. He'll probably cook something when he gets home, at least.

So DwtS tonight and tomorrow, new SVU and LA Ink tomorrow, and Pushing Daisies and Bionic Woman Wednesday. There's nothing on Thursdays and I think the fights are back to Friday, so that's what my week looks like because I have no social life.

I was out all day today. Yay!

I picked Beth up around 11am. We bundled her daughter up and headed out to have lunch at the Breakfast Connection in Randolph with Rich. I had eggs and hash which wasn't bad, but it also wasn't as good as the hash at Bob's. Then again, I've never had hash better than at Bob's. I digress... We were supposed to meet up with her seamstress to take up the shoulders of her corset, but when Beth called the woman, she said she couldn't do it today. We were half way there at that point, so we kept going to for a couple more exits and dropped off at the Brockton RMV, since I've been putting that off for ages.

Holy Lord on a stick.. Brockton RMV is the most ghetto place ever. Beth said she had a wicked time of it at the Quincy RMV when she went to change her name: they wanted her marriage certificate, her new social security card, and proof of someone accepting her new signature before they would change her name. Signing the back of a credit card didn't count. In Brockton, I pretty much just filled out my paperwork and assured them that I did not intend to defraud the state with my alias.

I shall be known as Esmeralda Q. Peabody from now on.

Seriously, though, I asked about 15 times if they needed anything from me. We were there a grand total of 15 minutes. I came in, filled out my paperwork, handed it to the man behind the desk who, in turn, gave me a number which was the one they called immediately after. Got my picture taken, paid my $20, and updated my address, since it still had my Rockland address on the front. We thought about going to see my inlaws for, oh, .075 seconds before deciding to head off to the Plaza for food, fun, and mayhem.

Beth's sister's having her baby tomorrow, so she wanted to get something for the baby, as well as a couple little things for the older kids. We began our quest with delicious Godiva chocolate to fortify us for the trip. We went on a fruitless quest for a music box, which required more refueling (Cinnabon). Eventually, we made it to Things Remembered, where Beth found a beautiful box for her sister and I found bells for the boys for the wedding. Very productive. Cynthia then made a productive poop, which necessitated the buying of a bloody adorable teal and chocolate brown jumper, complete with coat and bloomers. So adorable! We stopped in at Claire's right before we left so I could get a couple more pairs of threader earrings. I found two and got Beth a pair since they were buy 2, get 1 free.

I got back here around 6ish and decided to strip down and crawl into bed with Steven. He will verify my ulterior motives: I was chilly and he was very, very warm. We ended up otherwise engaged and then... the ex called. We were pretty much done, but what timing! More school problems, yak yak yak. So we got chinese instead of actually cooking because we were both zapped.

Watched Dancing with the Stars-- you could really see the stress on Sara Evans's face. Good dances from Mario, but I still love Jerry. He's too funny. SVU wasn't bad, but I can wait for Mariska to come back. I don't much care for Dani. It's a little heavyhanded how they show Stabler his flaws. I mean, really....

So yes, that's my day. I'm watching something on Fetishes on WE before going to sleep.
