I haven't heard from Laura G. since I talked to her for a few minutes Sunday night. I left her a message Monday evening regarding our plans for Monday night...and that's the last I know. The ball's in her court. Friends that ask about her and get that explanation are supportive. I dealt with the breaking-plans-at-the-last-minute-and-never-calling shit at the end of my last relationship and I don't need it at the beginning of this one. Laura G.'s cool girl, and I'll gladly explain how I'm feeling to her and see if things can improve - if she calls and is serious about things continuing. If I have to dash my expectations to avoid frequent disappointment, that's a bad thing.
Is it really that dangerous to curl up hugging my space heater?
I spoke with Patrick, the GAC rep, about practice opportunities in Chicago. He gave me a few names in terms of both associating and buyout, and also areas where a new orthodontist could develop a good patient base. On my way back from Evanston. I stopped and picked up a bunch of pins to stick in my map of the city. Nice to have taken this one little step, at least.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I rode my bike up to WNUR for the phonathon meeting tonight. On the way back, I stopped at Barnes and Noble to spend the credit I had from returning my brother's Christmas present (after reading). I had no idea what I was going to get, when I stumbled across David Weber's new novel. Since it's published by Tor rather than Baen, his usual publisher, I had no idea it was coming out. The story looked intriguing, but if I hadn't been familiar - and satisfied - with his writing style, I wouldn't have bought it. But I felt I deserved some distraction, so I paid the $1.76 I owed after the credit was spent and it's mine! I can't even remember the title.
So I know I wasn't planning to write much, but I can't help it. I've come to enjoy it, even if a lot of the time it's not inspired in any sense. Today was a good day, owing to the many hours of sleep I got last night after turning in early - I was so damn tired yesterday after only sleeping 5 hours and getting up before the sun. Fuck, getting to school before the sun.
I still haven't reviewed the letter I started writing Monday night.
I think I'm going to head out to the Loved Ones show on Sunday. I need a good show. I need to dance and sing and rock out.
