If only my life were as tidy as the nightstand
Okay, so maybe I’m in another time-zone and refuse to adjust. Perhaps that nap after work was not the best of notions. I’ll admit skimping on dinner wasn’t a good idear.
Nonetheless, it’s approaching 4am and the thoughts they are a flying. I’m reminded of a poem by Shel Silverstein, “WHATIF“…
I’m both scared and excited at these hours — on lots of levels, from the country to my bed.
I suppose that’s a hemhawed way to say: I’d really like to focus on my own problems, but man, why does everything have to be so fucked up?
I’m going through mail at work today and there’s an OPT OUT letter from our insurance company for terrorism coverage. This makes those frickin spams for penis enhancements look as innocent as a kid selling ribbons for Gilda’s Club from door to door.
Instead of letting all this fester, I’ve made a really boring to-do list:

Oh, I’m sure I forgot a few things.
