Subway, work, sleep. Pretty much sums it up. Fortunately, I don't work in the city anymore so I don't have to take the LIRR to the subway every day. |
My kids once put a goat in bed with me while I was asleep,I sleep with my head under the covers,and the goat was standing on my face,I thought it was one of my kids,and was trying to gently push it off,telling them to get out,I needed my sleep,they kept giggling,and I finally started to wake up and was mad,and when I pulled the covers down to yell at them,I was nose to nose with the damn goat,I don't know who screamed louder,me or the goat.I must have scared it pretty badly,because it let out a long bleeeeeeeeet,and then pissed all over my new comforter.Goats have a keen sense of balance,and the more I tried to push it off my face,the more intent it was on balancing there.This happened years ago,and its funny now,but it wasn't funny at all to me for a long time.My kids were little at the time,which is probably why I didn't kill them. |

Went sledding today, it was nice last night, calm clear skys no hint whatsoever of snow. I woke up this morning(afternoon) and it was blizzarding outside. I actually went so far as to put a coat on which I never do. The sledding was fun though, ended up in a creek, and crashing into lots of trees. Oh the fun of snow. |

On Saturday, I went to Calvert Cliffs with my brother. Calvert Cliffs is a national park on the Chesapeake Bay that's famous for its fossils. You can find shark teeth that wash up on shore, and supposedly, there are ancient crocodiles buried in the cliffs. The cliffs are clay, not rock. At the top of the cliffs are big pine and oak trees, and at the bottom of the cliffs are the trees that have fallen because of the erosion. You're not supposed to climb the cliffs (because you can't, really), but my brother and I scaled the slope of rubble at the bottom as high as we could. So I got pretty high and then the rubble gave out underneath me. I slid down and landed (butt-first) on the trunk of a tree. Not only did I bruise my tailbone, I scraped my poor derriere on the rocks, shells, and tree. It sounds funny, but it's really not. My job involves sitting all day. Right now, I'm sitting at the edge of the chair and I'm twisted so I'm resting almost squarely on my left hip. Lots of pain. I have to go. People are coming. |
9:00- Awaken to sound of six year old blowing up the world with his imaganation. 9:10- Hit snooze button, tell david to get dressed, which he can do by himself, allthough it may be backwards or inside out. 9:20- Make his breakfast. 9:30 Get my clothes on, take off comfy bathrobe, which is blue like Cookie Monster 9:40- get him dressed and take him to the bus stop 9:50- Come back inside, watch some M2, loaf around. |
Seseme Street ruled. |

Nate, if I could give you my ass right now, I would. I don't want it anymore. |
no ass pennies. thank you. |
*rimshot* Who was that woman I saw you with last night? That was no woman-it was my ASS! *Rimshot* |
|
|
My dog does laps saying "Awoooooo" then I scratch her neck and work my way down her back. Then she circles and starts in with "Awoooooo" again. If I make her do too many laps, she'll jump up and sit on my stomach (Border Collie mix - about 50 lbs) Get up, shower, feed the fish then go hit a coffee joint on the way to work. I just started working days at the first of the year - it seems like my day is MUCH shorter than when I worked afternoons/evenings. Guess it's all the "going to bed early" business that I fail so miserably at. |
Shower Meaningless crap Repeat |

i'm at home, also enjoying the creepy weather. we don't get tornado(e)s here of course. but today we are having Kauai weather. i was up at 5:30 this morning and couldn't sleep so i ran up diamond head. the weather and i are too foggy to work today. i'll probably write, read, and surf the net for recipes today. go the gym, make a really big healthy supper of asian coleslaw and grilled marinated steak and chocolate brichoetes for dessert, and then go see o brother where art though. maybe by myself, maybe with jenn. i wish every day for the rest of my life would be just like today. or nearly. |

6:45 alarm goes off. its actually set to NPR. I hear some of the most insane things upon waking up. 7:05 after two snooze cycles, i get up stumble and lean over the toilet. sometimes i take showers the night before, affording me the extra 10 minutes of sleep. 7:20 shower or not, im dressed, half asleep on gathering my things. and head out. 7:25 at the bus stop, which is next to a high school so there i am, in a swarm of high school kids. some look at me funny, some look at me with attraction, some look at me like they are afraid. they all have this doe-eyed innocense that makes me glad im not them anymore. 7:30 bus comes. im usually reading and in a daze, which is the way i like it. bouncing up and down the hills in my hood. 7:40 at metro station. lug my ass underground, catch the tube. 7:50 arrive at my station. elevate to street level on hollywood blvd. Make some sort rant similar to that of DeNiro in Taxi Driver where he goes on about the sluts, pimps, pushers, dopes and the rain coming and washing it all away. 7:55 in my office. |
sometimes i get up as early a 4 am. sometimes as late as 1 pm. shower? clock check, pit check; sometimes i'll skip bathing two days ina row. not often. it takes me ten minutes to get to work by bicycle, including getting it out of the basement and putting it away in the employee lunchroom. there have been days that i'm out of bed and working within a 1/2 hour. |
But when I do, I usually take a shower and think about going to work for a while. It's funny how we get into kind of a rote rhythm. "Oh, I'm awake, I should shower/put on clothes/whatever." |
