Dressing up.
Apr. 12th, 2002 12:19 pmSo, I work in downtown Seattle, and let's face it, I am not a city person. There's many and varied reasons for this, but all in all, too much concrete and steel, too many people in a small area, do not make for a happy Kelley. Yesterday was not great, I was dealing with a faint headache. Ditto for today. I even know what's causing it. Not enough sleep.
So, anticipating the rather blah mood, I decided to dress up a bit today. (Yes, my workplace does casual Fridays, so I'm being weird, what else is new?) I'm a sensualist. My idea of dressing up is wearing clothing that feels good to my skin. So, I'm wearing a dark, rich blue skirt that's made of silk. It's very fluttery when I walk, and that makes me happy. Ditto the cool sensation when it brushes against my legs. And I've got a short-sleeved thin sweater that's very soft, so wearing it kind of feels like a nice hug all day. It's nice to spoil oneself once in a while. :)

Another surreal moment.
Apr. 12th, 2002 04:29 pmWell, that was interesting. I just received a call from an ex-boyfriend, telling me he was in the lobby of my building. No, I'm not being stalked, he was there to return my portable CD player, which I loaned to him over a year ago, and completely forgot that he had it.
Honestly, I'm lousy at keeping track of stuff I loan to people, especially books. If I go looking for something, and I can't find it, I presume it's somewhere in my apartment. (Yes, unfortunately it *is* that messy.)
I can't say it was exactly pleasant to see him. Too many memories, too much tension, too much ugliness of various sorts in the past. I know he wanted to hug me, but gods I'm glad he didn't try. I probably was displaying body language that said, "Don't touch me!"
It's too bad in a lot of ways. He wants to be a good person, but sabotages himself. I used to want to help him fix that, help him learn better. Oh, he learned how to behave better, around me. After we broke up, I found out from other folks how unchanged his behavior was when I wasn't there to witness it. *sigh* Thank all the gods that I'm involved with healthy, strong, honest people. And that I've learned not to try and 'fix' people that I'm dating. I try very hard to either accept someone as they are, warts and all, or not continue a relationship with that person.
