It was beautiful weather on Friday, but I was in a funk and stayed in all day.
Steve left on Friday to Asilomar for a retreat, so he's been gone all weekend.
I had to make some calls about extending my COBRA for another 18 months. It was depressing to have the reminder that I've been unemployed for so long. Thankfully, California allows 36 months for COBRA. I have no idea how much the premiums will change. They said I'd receive paperwork during the first part of March.
The convention hotel problems got me worked up. Looks like things will be worked out with the hotel early this week. It was nice of the convention committee to respond on the same day.
I had planned to go C1 square dancing all day Saturday to Ben Rubright at PACE, but after Friday's funk, I decided that I needed to be outside instead. I first wrote down flashcards for my square dancing class, then I went to Starbears for a few hours to study and to socialize. There were lots of people, and the fresh air did me lots of good. I yelled at the agressive beggarwoman and got that out of my system. I later her saw her approaching all the cars on the west side of 18th waiting for the redlight. She asked them all for a ride to 18th & Mission. No one was biting. Look lady, it's downhill all the way and not that far. It's not worth being a menace.
I went to Chevy's with the fellas (I'm sure![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rootbeer1 will recap) for dinner. It was good to meet benjiej and gapathfinder. I got there early enough for a big strawberry margarita before dinner. The second one with dinner made everything just right, and boyshapedbox had me laughing the entire time. I ordered the fajita nachos that I had seen redbeardedblond order one time. (Well, not the very same ones.) Yum.
I shared a cab withsfbearhoney, boyshapedbox and bigreddee to the Lone Star. The LS crowd started off slow, but picked up after awhile. Both backawayslowly and bear_with_me both had me laughing during the evening. Lots of LJ'ers and other assorted handsome men were there. Furry Pocket Dave gave me a ride home.
