Alexa’s Update # 6
July 28, 2008
Random thoughts and updates for the past week.
First, one thing I *really* miss about having Nikki with me is our sharing of the housecleaning responsibilities. We had this arrangement where she did about half the work, and I did about half. I cleaned the kitchen, dusted and did the glass, and washed the clothes. She’d do the bathrooms, vacuum and take care of the wood floors, and we’d fold up all of our clothes together (I’d do all the fold ups and hangups and she’d do all the towels, sheets, etc.).
Well, this past weekend I cleaned my apartment up for the first time since I got here - the first major clean up, anyway. And I had to do it all myself, including cleaning my shower and toilet! I don’t like that part. 
Of course, Nikki’s having to clean a whole house by herself, so I guess I shouldn’t whine. 
I will be going home to see Nikki on the weekend of my birthday, which is August 17. I am *so* looking forward to that. That’s a week or so before school starts, so I don’t have to worry about it interfering with that.
Wednesday is the 30th anniversary of the Cheesecake Factory. They’re offering slices of cheesecake for $1.50 each, the price they were when they first opened (nowadays they’re between $5 and $9 a slice, depending on what you get). Fortunately, there’s one just a few blocks from me here, so I plan to avail myself of their special. Perhaps several of them.
Kelsey has agreed to go out with me to go eat, my treat. 
In my story about Rick, I told you of his request that I be available several mornings each month, and explained that I needed some time to think about it. Well, at this point, I see no reason why I shouldn’t avail myself of the money. I mean, that kind of money for a few minutes worth of work for someone who truly enjoys it would be totally worthwhile. I’ll explain to him that I reserve the right to opt out if I have a long night with another client. I’m sure he’ll accept that condition. More on this after he gets back in town and I’ve had a chance to talk with him about it.
I’m happy to report that Nina is back home and recovering from her appendectomy. She left me a one line message last week stating that her husband was taking her to the emergency room at 5AM, without further explanation (And yes, I’ve spanked her hot little ass for not telling me any more than that! Though, to be honest, I think spanking her is more positive reinforcement than anything else). Her husband was kind enough to let me know what had happened two days later! Anyway, Nina, I’m glad you’re home and recuperating. I’ve missed my quasi-daily doses of Anais Nin channeling. <3
The wildfires in California have largely left the Bay Area alone, but there’s one burning near Yosemite National Park right now that has burnt up several homes and has cut off power to the park. I went to Yosemite for the first time ever when we came here back in January. Gorgeous country. I hope everyone out there stays safe. I know another firefighter was killed here yesterday I believe. He was from Washington state and was down here to help California fight the fires.
I just got done reading a book called Rent Boys, written by a French sociologist. It’s an academic piece about male sex workers, and I bought it because I’d not really been exposed to any serious research on the guys before. It was very interesting, for a variety of reasons, and was an easy read. I am in the process of writing some about it. There’s also a post on facials coming in the next day or two.
Anyway, I think that is it for the randomness for this week. I have about a dozen new posts I am working on, all of them in different stages of development. I have to be in the right frame of mind to write most of this stuff, though, so you’ll just have to be patient with me until I get them done.

It went well, and I’ll write about it in my next “Update” - nothing happened worthy of its own entry. So far, anyway.
