I love being in my "cocoon"... otherwise known as my condo. Alan just left. He had been here since Friday. We went to a service Friday night at TTI, a morning service at AAEI on Saturday, and a morning service at AAEI on Sunday. Of course, after spending so much time with him, I'm a little sad that he's left. I have a lot of cleaning to do, but I think I'll watch some TV and relax. It feels like a Sunday night, and I am usually depressed on Sunday nights. There's something about the fact that the weekend is over, there's nothing good or distracting on TV, and I don't know... it's just always been a melancholy time for me.

But I had a good weekend, and the only worry remains my unemployment. Neither my broker nor my financial planner (the one the Globe matched me up with) seems to think I should be worried, especially due to the money I have, but I am anyway.
I have been spending money on this condo - not that anything is an emergency, but I feel like I need to fix up a few things.

On Sunday, Alan and I had a fun time at Lowe's. I bought a new kitchen faucet, a new valve for my toilet, and something to keep the draft out from my front door. Alan bought mulch and a garden hose.

Unfortunatley, Alan was unable to get the old faucet out of my sink, so I had to go to the web and look up plumbers. One called me and he had good reviews on line, so he is going to come either tomorrow or Wednesday. I can't use my sink in the meantime. Alan tried so hard - we even went to Lowe's to get a large basin wrench, but it still wouldn't budge.
