This week. Kind of the same deal as last week. Where I am ready to get going. You know. Go to work. But I don’t want to wake Laurie up. Banging around. Getting ready. Next week. I will plan ahead. So I can leave like it is just a regular day. I should have saw this coming.
Yesterday. Exactly four months until I start school (again). What do I want to do with these four month since they won’t be the “Summer of Chris”? I don’t know. Probably the same things I always want to do with my life. Lose weight. Rock out. Write. Or in this case. Edit. I am trying to finish everything that I started since I did not go to school to become a writer. Yeah, I know, good luck. Finished editing book two AKA “Repetition”. It is almost to the point where I am not totally embarrassed reading it. There are still embarrassing parts. I just couldn’t cut anymore without feeling that I was cutting everything. Read this. I will cut again. Also yesterday, I filled out my financial aid forms. Drag. Drag. Drag. How much is this going to cost me? Lastly, also yesterday, Baby Fea became the last person in the world to use the word “gay” to describe something as “happily excited” or “keenly alive and exuberant”. She used “gay” to describe the activities of birds on the grounds of the Rocky River Compound. Yes, Baby Fea and I have telephone conversations where she describes the activities of birds.
Alright. Laurie’s up. I have to go.

There is a reason I was just working from home but I prefer not to get into why right now. Let’s just say that reasons exist. I am dealing with them. I dealing with the fact that I willingly choose to work every single day of my life instead of doing something else. I am dealing with the idea that the decision to work each day instead of doing something else is making me happy. I am dealing with happiness.
Laurie and I went, once again, way out east to buy drum stuff. Why must I go to three different stores to get everything that I need to rock out? On the way home, I brought up the bit from the Assholier than Thou Good Times Happy Friends Monday Morning Radio Show Starring Baby Fea (yea!) about how there is no such thing as a happy ending in the “Pina Colada Song”. Laurie tried to tell me, because she sees the good in everyone, that the couple in the song were already broken up. I told her, no, they were cheating. After checking the lyrics when we got home, she agreed, there is no such thing as a happy ending in the “Pina Colada Song”.

I am sitting here at work. Waiting to go to the radio station meeting. Waiting for Baby Fea to pick me up. I am tired and pretty much ready to go home. It was another long day at work. They seem to be getting longer. I went out to lunch with Tom Ericsson today. We went to a noted Slavic Village institution. Cheap. Good service. Bad food. Oh well. You can’t have everything, can you? At lunch, I told Tom about how bored I am and how I am at pretty much empty creatively. He responded by telling me a whole bunch of stuff I found interesting that, in turn, got my mind sparking. Maybe I will get a new idea this week. Let’s hope.

Let’s see. Oh, yeah. Happy Easter! Pretty much non-eventful. It was a day of festive celebratory eating and family. We were late to my mother’s house by an hour. I danced for my nieces. Otherwise, I think that’s it. I don’t know. I am thrashed out and waiting for “Arrested Development”. I hope I don’t fall asleep before it comes on.
Talk to you tomorrow on the Assholier than Thou Good Times Happy Friends Monday Morning Radio Show Starring Baby Fea (yea!).
