Exciting Day

Oh my goodness today was exciting. Most exciting thing? I’m writing this blog at 8:30 pm and I’m sitting at home while writing it. !!! I haven’t been home at 8:30 pm in 5 weeks. My roommate and I just got back from getting frozen yogurt and she looked at the clock and said, “Man, it’s 8:30.” And I said, “I know! Can you believe how early it is?” She said, “I was just thinking how late it is.”

Late? No, so not late. It’s LIGHT outside and I’m home from work. And it's not light because the sun is rising to greet a new day!!! Seriously. Exciting.

Today I got off work and was actually able to go get my oil changed and then when I went to the grocery store there were actually people there. There aren’t a lot of oil change places open at 4 in the morning when I was getting off work the past few weeks. And when I ran out of toilet paper a couple weeks ago and was forced to go to the store I found myself wandering the aisles with only two other people – one of them a crackhead, the other one an undercover security guard keeping an eye on the crackhead. But today I got off work so early the crackheads were still sleeping on the side of the store when I pulled up.

Ahhhh. To once again be a part of the real world.

Exciting stuff.

Don't worry...soon you'll be bitching about the line at the grocery store and the screaming tots who are throwing overripe canteloupes at their siblings, the idiots who screwed up your oil change and got grease all over the steering wheel, your going-too-bed too early roomate, all of the extra toilet paper in your bathroom because the last time you went to the store you bought a 24-pack, and the light outside keeping you awake because you need to sleep. So enjoy the uniqueness of your "new world" for now. Soon, oh very soon you'll be craving the Kraft Services table, wireless computer hacking, Laffy Taffy jokes and swordfighting extras. :-)
