I am doing well today.
Nothing is swirling around in my head, except for the fact that I forgot to send my friend Silvia her order from Mary Kay. She ordered it over a year ago and I forgot to send it to her. She reminded me a few times, but then stopped. And it never got sent. The only reason I remembered is that she sent me an email about it.
Sigh.
Bad short term memory.
It really irks me that I did that.
I am having lunch with Ann R. (the reporter) at the Lynch Street Bis*tro on Thursday. I am looking forward to it. It is an informal lunch at a fine dining establishment.
I made reservations yesterday.
That means I�ll have to have my hair did, do my makeup, have my smell on, and actually dress up a little. There�s no way I�d go to meet her wearing a stained t-shirt and jeans!
You don�t know how good it makes me feel that she would take time out to do this with me. She is the first person in the media to not only listen to my story but care about it, and the only one to become my friend.
I always watch her on the news and wonder if she is thinking about me at that time. I�ve watched her elevation from a person who got some assignments to someone that has gotten lots and some of them top story. I don�t understand how they assign reporters or when their stories get broadcast. I�m a little in the dark about that.
But it seems like girlfriend is moving up.
We have kept in touch for almost 2 years now. We email and occasionally talk on the phone. It�s nice.
I did ask her if I could bring a camera, so I could take pictures to keep. She said that was fine, and she wants copies.
Now, I have to ask her permission before I post her picture in my diary. I don�t want her to get upset about it.
Jackie�s behavior seems to be leveling out. No major mood swings for about 5 days now.
I still need to call and schedule her for counseling appointments. I think it is necessary. Besides, the school is pretty much demanding it.
I don�t understand why they�re making me do this. But if it benefits her, I don�t really care. I�ll do it.
Things seem to be calm now but I think our situation is going to change a little when a decision is actually made about opening up the case and doing the actual DNA stuff (again, I might add).
I don�t know exactly how I�m going to feel but I know I am always deeply affected by issues with the case, and I know that Jackie will be affected also. She is a sensitive little Pisces, and soaks up whatever emotion is permeating the house.
Plus, there�ll probably be interviews.
By the way, I found out from a co-worker that one of the news stations reran some of the interview I gave two years ago. This happened during the week that the article came out.
Sort of eerie, if you ask me.
Happy four years to whinerwoman and her man, Doug. He used to be known in this diary as Mr. Moody, but it seems he�s outgrown that. I�m really proud of the way their relationship has evolved and grown.
He even proved me wrong.
A girl couldn�t ask for more supportive friends. I really think they are perfect for each other too. Congratulations, Lisa and Doug!
