post the hundred-forty-fifth, 2013

when i walked in here there were two singletons using computers, a couple chatting, and a girl reading a thick mass-market. all but the girl have left, in the span of a just a few minutes, and i wonder sometimes why this happens. does a cosmic timer go off, and they all are suddenly reminded of somewhere else they are meant to be?

we got up early this morning, because he was off to golf, so i decided to make good use of my time and made out this do-list:

as you can see, i accomplished all the tasks i laid out for myself.

wow, ace. that's impressive. how did you accomplish it all?

well....

immediately upon his departure, i suited up and went for a run. i was going to do the usual routine of dishes, etc., before going, but then i was like - hell, the dishes will certainly still be here, best to get the run in while it's still relatively cool out. so i did, and it went fairly well.

next, i showered and dressed (of course) then i did the dishes and started some laundry. after hanging up some things to dry, i checked the sheets in the dryer and found they were cold and wet. ooooohhh, terrific. "get groceries" was on the list--it's not like i had planned to stay in all day--so i couldn't sit around and wait on the clothes to dry (which they eventually will, even tho the air is cold). i decided to just pack up the wet things and visit the laundromat, then swing by and get the groceries. that worked out pretty well, except for the whole "why the hell do i have to go to a laundromat anyway, stupid dryer" thing. got home and boiled some eggs for tomorrow's breakfast, made some salads for tomorrows lunch, and got the sheets back on the bed. all my chores were done in plenty of time to sit in front of the television munching peanut butter crackers and watching adam scott win at the barclays. all that, PLUS time to come sit in the coffee shop pondering where all the people that were here have gone.
