I had a crappy weekend.
Not entirely, as there were fun parts to it, like a jewelry party, brunch with a friend, coffee with another friend, a birthday party at Rockbox with karaoke (some of which I dominated... some of which I tried but did not), a 2nd viewing of Magic Mike.
But this was all offset by some crappy things that have added up to making me feel kind of down right now. The guy I've been hanging out with is dunzo (I'm pretty sure). I've been sleeping pretty crappily the last week or so. Someone in my building threw a water balloon at the bus stop when I was waiting yesterday and it burst (at a very high speed, from a high height) right in front of my feet and scared me, got my feet all wet and dirty, and really pissed me off (and could have really hurt someone). I installed my new bike seat but can't get it in the right spot, so it's uncomfortable to ride. I tried to check the air pressure in my bike tires for the first time, and now I can't get the front to be fully inflated again. I have had a constant headache from the cold that came back a week ago. And then on my walk home from the grocery store today, just blocks from my apartment, some crazy/homeless/scary lady followed me closely, yelling at me about how tired she is of seeing white girls with things and that I'd better not come across her again or she'd kill me. (I did not include all of the cuss words she also mixed in there.) I tried to ignore her and hurried across the street. I didn't even see what she looks like, I was too afraid to acknowledge her.
I know things are fine, and will be fine. I'm meeting a friend for dinner tomorrow, which I'm looking forward to, and will hopefully meet up with another for happy hour this week. But I have never felt so unsafe in my home and neighborhood as I do right now (not to mention some other security issues going on in my building right now). I don't like feeling like this. I'm certain it'll lift with time.
