On My Happy Cloud

Colin the Great

I've started selling Avon again! Hoo-ray! Actually, I love selling it. It's good fun. Plus, I get my own discounts and I'm obsessed with their lipglosses.

A guy Ryan knows named Colin is down from New York. Actually, Colin travels around the states helping people work on their volkswagon buses. He drives his own nice blue one. Anyway, he is completely strange. Wears daisy duke shorts, partially balding and tan and skinny in an old dirty wife beater tank but he's so cool. He's been here since Saturday because Ryan is letting him tear his engine down in the garage. I cooked dinner for all of us and we all talked. We all talked. It's nice to be with Ryan and his car friends and not talk about cars. Together, both of them are really funny. Anyway, I really like him.

I'm having some trouble. Ryan and I have a hard time sleeping in bed together. I'm the kind of person who doesn't fall asleep right away and I toss and turn to get comfy until I do fall asleep. I'm sure I've written about this before...anyway, some nights if I feel especially awake and uncomfortable I will go and sleep on the couch. There are no hard feelings between us when I do this, none at all but you know, I would really just like to be able to sleep in bed with my boyfriend. I just like being able to use the whole bed to turn in instead of the little room I feel I actually have. I just wish I had some way to fix it. I've had a cold the last couple of days and I know I didn't sleep well last night, waking up to cough occasionally and since it takes me a while to fall asleep I would toss and turn again and he said (gently) that I did wake him up a couple times. Even though he wasn't mad, I'm still really bummed....

Think I'm gonna take a shower and then read or watch a movie or something.

I feel pretty sad today.
