Hello Everyone:
A sunny Tuesday morning in Southern California. I spoke to the bf via email yesterday and he seems to be in a much better place. That's good. I spent part of Memorial Day being bored out of mind. Other than posting my daily rants, I really had nothing to do with myself. There wasn't any sort of picnic or barbecue going on near my house and the family wasn't doing anything major so I ended up walking through The Grove, stopping at this great candy store, Dylan's Candy Bar (http://www.dylanscandybar.com), for a fondue dipped double stuff oreo cookie. Major yum. Then I went home.
I'm actually not very good with free time on my hands. I always need something to do otherwise I go batty. I end up driving myself and everyone else up a tree or I eat. Bad, bad, bad. This is why I need to do things all the time. Now that summer is approaching, the chance to go out and about is more appealing. There are some great museum exhibitions at the Getty, Hammer Museum, and SCI-Arc that I want to check out. Of course there's the lovely task of looking for work. I'm being ironic here. On that note, I really would like to find something soon just so I don't completely lose my mind. It would be nice to find something that let's me write about architecture, historic preservation, urban planning and design all day while getting paid for it. Hopefully something will come to fruition.
I just wanted to update you on yesterday's post about making public one's struggles with addiction. I was following the line of conservation on Facebook yesterday and the postings seem to go all over the place. The ones that warranted my immediate attention were the ones that seemed to presume to play therapist or think that the person who outed his addiction recovery was still an addict. Really, playing therapist? Unless you are a therapist who specializes in addiction behavior or even a therapist in general, don't do it. We're all really good a diagnosing other people's ills but not our own.
Later
