The apparition of these faces in the crowd

Also known as... oh, god, I think I'm upright!

It's been... one helluva week.

Monday- I got to close at Lynch. Now, this wouldn't be a bad thing except for the fact that Jim left me BY MYSELF. I've closed MAYBE two other times and that was with Tim doing everything and just showing me what to do. He leaves and all hell broke loose. The phone was ringing off the hook, people kept coming into the store and I was nearly in tears by the end of the night. Let's just say... a busy day at Lynch is about four people coming in. I probably had about 14 customers in the course of 3 hours. And most of them were in the store in batches of three or four at a time PLUS the phone ringing. Not a happy Lia was I.

Tuesday- Basically had a complete and total breakdown where teh boy is concerned. However, this was later chalked up to the fact that I had about fifteen hours worth of sleep over a period of about four days so I wasn't exactly mentally balanced as it was. He basically just talked to me at the theatre, I left and burst into tears for no apparent reason. Had Avenue Q on in the car with "It's a Fine, Fine Line" repeating which didn't help matters.

Wednesday- Wake up to my father waking me saying the power is out. Joy. Turns out it went out around 3am. Go to Lynch for a nice quiet day (thankfully!) return and the power was still off. So I texted jateshi and wook77 about it... and as an afterthought, I also texted the boy. Boy replies in about two minutes and invited me over to watch 24. So I went, inspite of my breakdown yesterday and just enjoyed my time with him. Had uberly good meeting with therapist after that and by the time I got home, power was back on. However, wednesday was the beginning of the cough.

Thursday- Couldn't. Fucking. Move. Skipped work and ended up sleeping for about 16 hours. Only time out of bed was basically to do hogwarts_today then went back to bed.

Friday- Lather, rinse, repeat. Though not with the sixteen hours of sleep thing.

At least today I'm finally feeling better. On Thursday I had a fever of about 102*... and I'm a person who has a normal body temp of about 97.4*. So fever that high really was NOT GOOD.

So, my darling flist, I hope your week was a helluva lot better than mine. And also -- massive, massive love to everyone who left me a note on tarie's snap-cups meme. It was the high point for me this week. Seriously. ♥ I love you guys.

I am positively one big bundle of nerves. Slept like crap last night.

Today -- is Pittsburgh with the boy.

Tomorrow... he's driving with me to Cleveland to see a_falling_sky, avengangle (and ben, o'course), adaptor and sbnrko35.

Am excited and scared to death at the same time. Thankfully, though, Lynch changed my schedule just for today, which means we can leave at 2 rather than 6. And the boy is being nice and picking me up so I won't have to drive home uberly late.

News about the theatre too -- and GOOD news for once, but that will be saved for Monday. Hopefully a shower will wake me up!
