Now that I feel less like crap |10:13 AM|
Waking up at 9am on Sunday, spending the day at Kraussy springs, hanging out all night with the girlfriend, working all day monday, getting 2 hours of sleep only to go to work again, and I now have my answer to "Why do I feel like crap?".
I'm feeling a lot better, amazing what 6 hours of sleep can do for a person. I was spacing out terribly last night, and I could barely hold a conversation with Portal. She's awfully patient with me when she needs to be. Yes, I was very careful driving home. It wasn't like monday morning where I was slapping myself in the car to stay awake. I think I was actually far more tired after sleeping for 2 hours then I was later in the day after work, but far more mentally drained.
Awwww crap. The cable guy just called my cell. I just remembered that I left the old modem at the old apartment. Shit. I hope he can at least turn the damn thing on for me, I can handle the rest.
Shit shit.

As far as being declared a "playa". I was pulling into Shortstop (A burger joint that I'm a fan of, for those outside Austin) and the guy at the window suddenly recognized me. I had been going to Shortstop for ages, and it was only today that the entire staff suddenly remembered who I was.
Window guy: "Hey! It's the playa!"
Me: "Playa?"
Window Guy: "How you doin'? Haven't seen you in a while!"
Me: "Yeah, working more hours."
Window guy: (To another coworker): "It's the playa!" (to me) "You eat here a lot."
Me: "Cheap and tasty!"
Window Guy: "Hell yes. Best burgers in the area!" (To a guy on lunch break across the parking lot) "This guy is a playa!"

I have no idea what any of it means. But it was an ego boost. Oh, a guy who's opinion I respect said I'd always been straight with him. That made me feel damn good, it's not like I'm going to go marry the guy, but it was like a handshake after a good party. The guy has always been straight with me, as well, so I knew he was telling the truth.

Kraussy Springs
Just a couple highlights.
My roommate (middle) and friends remark on the tasty nature of the chips.
The area around the springs was gorgeous.
I won the "most pale back" award. At least I got some sun.

Joe and company trying to get the women in the group to flash. "Work with me!"
No was the response.
Such a pretty area.
