Minor advances
Worked for a few hours on UH and LSC stuff, syllabi mostly. LSC's requirement to post syllabi on-line is aggravating considering that their system doesn't work. Still, since my core value appears to be career advancement, I did what I could to advance my career for over an hour yesterday
Went to lunch with Pew Friday. Even though it had no highlights, it was a good thing to do -- invite someone I trust, simple activity. I may go to some meeting with him this week. Pew knows what's best for him, but I don't feel I need the spiritual component that he seeks.
Still, depressed and anxious. While waiting for Pew to show up at Panera, even though I hadn't talked to Jimar in days, decided to reach out and invite him to a hockey game. I also committed to confront him about money. I did the former, chickened out on the latter. So I came home, ignored him and came into my room; he came in and asked what time we would be leaving, but that's all the conversation we had before we left. I really did want to sit him down and talk about money, but he showered, I faltered. Minimal conversation downtown (I drove because he had no gas), no conversation during the game; he texted through half of it. I offered to get food for us so we went to 59 Diner. No conversation over food, nothing on the trip back, nothing in the house.
But today I feel better. It's cold, but the sun is shining and I've done some things for school, started on laundry. So I'll address it with him today.
Simultaneous to Jimar, I texted Luis to invite him to go to the museums with me on Thursday. That led to other texts throughout the evening about the museums and my assisting him to pay for his tuition this semester. Nothing wrong with that -- I know this one will pay me back.
