10 45 pm pdt [ well worn ]

We are both well worn out. Matthew went by his former home today to pick up the last of his stuff and to clean. I stayed at our new place and cleaned also. I crushed down a lot of the furniture boxes and took them to the recycling. We have recycling [and composting] at our building, but I'm determined to walk the bottles and cans up ten blocks to the recycling center where I get a few bucks back. Matthew thinks its a tremendous waste of time, but I've been such a walkaholic lately, that I'm really only adding the bother of carrying the bags of recyclables.

The evening's stress was caused by having dinner with Matthew's boss, his wife and their 7-year-old daughter. We went out for Portuguese food and had a really lovely time. The evening was lovely and I had a great time chatting with their little girl.

I'm going down to LA tomorrow to fetch my stuff, and I feel as though I'll be away for a long time, even though I won't. I'm not going to bother packing until the morning... I'm exhausted.

three years ago today: He asked to paint my toenails, and since I let him pick the color they are now blue.

two years ago today: I am probably the only person in America who liked it, but there: I liked Eyes Wide Shut.

one year ago today: There was one thing I forgot to mention yesterday when I was up past my bedtime writing my entry (as I am again tonight).
