punctuality is really important to me.
however, hard as i try, i can't be on time for anything.
anything. dave and i had an afternoon of general merriment planned for today. i was going to wake up at 11:00, run, shower, wake his sleepy ass up, and off we go!
well it's 12:13. i just woke up. i don't want to run. i have a prior commitment at 3:00. and all i want to do is lie on my pink couch, watch TCM, and eat ice cream to soothe the raging fire that's been mercilessly ravaging my throat for the last four days, while creating a mountain of used kleenexes* due to this ridiculous cold that i seem to have caught from one of you fuckers.
but i know that half the battle is showing up. so here's my step by step plan for the next hour. because i know it's important to you.
step one: get up and run. (that even rhymes!)
"suck it up, clifford!" i say to myself. "you skipped out on running yesterday (and rightfully so, might i add), but today... ohhhh today... don't puss out. think of that burn in your legs. think of your bright green running shorts. think of your itchy sweaty arms and back. you love it all."
i really do love it all.
step two: wake dave's sorry ass up and explain to him why, oh why, i'm running so far behind. and then apologize again for beating him up last night. (i beat him up last night. it was very much deserved. well, the first assault was. the second one was a violent reaction to what i thought was an attack. i'm just putting it out there -- if i ever get attacked i've got nothing to worry about. dave and his crushed scrotum can attest to that.)
step three: shower. that always gets the ball rolling. and then it's all downhill from there. to the bank! to the other bank! to the post office! and then -- the point of culmination: teach me how to drive a stick shift. oh, the apex of my day! sweet bliss of accomplishment, cometh!
god i need a job. my life is so boring.
*stupidest looking word ever.
ps: "part deux" is also being started today, if i can fit it in to my busy schedule of banking and mailing, because muhs won't leave me alone.
