LIVING
If this is Wednesday, call mom, call Wendy, turn in homework, reserve camping site at
Yosemite.
If this is Wednesday, write the paper for the English 11 class. The teacher said, "do
not use my paragraph in your prose, find one of your own!" As we left hastily in the
dark winter night.
Drive by Macy's for some make-ups. The mixed smell of the fragrances makes me feel
nauseate, Lancome, Chanel, Christian Dior, etc. Wonder how the salesladies survive. Get to
the bank to deposit the paycheck if possible.
Time to send out all the gifts. The line at the post office is a good way to practice some
patience. A box of candies for mom and dad An alloy golf collection for the boss. Have to
do this each year.
A nice way to stay alive is to think less. Less brain cells consumed, longer the life. Mom
once said that it's hard to be famous and wealthy because you would have to sacrifice part
of yourself, physically or mentally. Is that right.
If this is Wednesday, get up early in the morning. There is History class at 8 o'clock in
the morning. And another one at 9 o'clock. Have to get ready for a possible quiz. The
teacher seems to enjoy it while we are tortured.
Driving in the morning traffic feels terrific. All the nice cars, BMW, Lexus, Mercedes,
all have to stop in the big long parking lot stretching hundred miles long. No wonder no
speeding hero is available at Policeman's mercy.
If this is Wednesday, the second History class ends at twelve. No time even for a short
break. Guts and Butts starts at twelve. Lots of sweat. A fruitful lunch after can drain
all the exercises in vain. Nothing but low-fat to eat. Wonder how others keep so
lean.
One English class in the afternoon. Like reading poems, but not writing one.
Unfortunately, one due next Monday.
Pick up the tickets for the Phantom of the Opera. The coupon from Tower Records saved
$10.
The toilet paper has run out. Need to go to Price Club. Maybe some chicken and eggs. Some
people say that egg has too much cholesterol and should eat less. Always question what the
papers say.
Call J and ask her to join the trip to Yosemite. Oh, don't forget to reserve the camping
site. After the flooding in winter, it's really hard to find a nice camping ground now.
Should borrow a tent and buy several flashlights, too.
The coupon for oil change will expire the day after tomorrow, make sure call them and ask
for a possible extension. If not, take the car there before 5. It should feel much better
to be rich, 'cause you don't have to worry about coupons. Maybe worry about getting more
money.
The light in the closet went out. It's the kind of cheap, hard-to-find type, which has
only a "110V" mark on the top. Have to find out where to get a replacement
because in the lease says "the tenant will take care of all the electrical
appliances, including the refrigerator." Looking forward to a rent control.
Last week bought some dresses at Ross. Some of them were "so ugly", according to
B. Should return them before losing the receipt.
Make sure pay the insurance premium. After the accident last year, it went up 20 percent.
Well, the new law requires the stupid insurance in order to renew the registration,
another premium have to pay.
A friend called saying that there is a sale going now at Emporium, everything 40%
off.
The air is clear and chilly. The sky is gray. The heart is still beating.
Most of the friends have got online recently. It's hard to reach someone without hearing
the busy humming sound. Everyone is busy. Too busy too busy too busy to take care of
himself or anyone else.
If this is Wednesday, go to the bank and get some quarters for laundry.
If this is Wednesday, it's time to relax tonight.
