• One of THOSE Days!

  
  

  I wake  up this morning–again–I usually wake up every hour or so, see that it is finally time to get up.  Don my specs, get out of bed, pull a tendon in my leg.  Okay, so I’ll be gimping around  a little more than usual today, no biggie.  Then I notice a votive candle-holder on the floor.  I pick it up, see cat litter in it.  Then I see the cat shit on the floor–Silky seems to be telling me it’s time to clean the litter box.

  
  

  Do that and get dressed without mishap, and am happy to see that my morning paper landed right outside the door.  I slide the door open, get the paper, slide the door shut, not noticing that I caught a bunch of hair in the door.  Straighten up, pull the hair out.  Ouch!  Oh well, I have a lot of hair for an old fart, no problem.

  
  

  Turn on the TV, see Regis and the queen of Perky, remember that I taped Conan the night before, didn’t want to stay up that late,  Start the tape, see the beginning of The Terminator.  Fine.  I forgot to rewind the tape last night.

  
  

  Start reading the paper.  Record storm in Nome, police brutality (cop’s victim got a millon bucks), more illegal antics perpetrated by our lieutenant governor.  Go to the comics–see that “For Better or For Worse” is lame and pointless, as usual.  Thank God, something I can depend on.

  
  

  Finally get ready to go to the library–it is drizzling, probably another day off– get in the car,and go to turn on the wipers.  I turn on the high beams instead.  Oh well, I wanted the headlights on anyway.  Sigh.

  
  

  So, how is YOUR day going?
