Today is Boomtime, day 68 in the season of Bureaucracy, 3268.

Yay for days off that the rest of the area doesn't necessarily have off! I can go out and do stuff and enjoy the fact that it's cool and sunny without being swamped by everyone else doing the same thing. I'm going to go out today and maybe prowl around the Nordstrom Rack I discovered yesterday (even though I have no money) and go look for the Indian spice market I saw signs for.

I was up way too late last night/early this morning, but I had a couple of nice conversations so it was all good. Slept til 12:45 today, just need tor remember to get out of that habit tonight. Maybe melatonin around 11 or so... I've also been listening to the "O Brother Where Art Thou?" soundtrack over and over after picking it up yesterday. I think I might've enjoyed church as a young'un more if we'd had music like this. I can't carry a tune in a bucket, but being at home by myself as I am, I can warble along with Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch singing "I'll Fly Away" at high volume with no one else cringing. The only one I'm bothering right now is the cat, and since he gifted me with a big hairball right next to my bed this morning, I consider it payback.

Things to do today:
* get the cat's cardiologist to call in a prescription for his heart meds until I can afford to make another ultrasound appointment for Gateway
* that last pesky load of laundry
* find out about getting tickets for the Sing-Sing show in Philadelphia at the end of the month (too bad the Cambridge show is on a Tuesday, otherwise we could go to that one instead. Easier to take one day off and drive 2.5 hours each way than take 3 days off and drive 9). Have I mentioned how I loathe Ticketbastard?
* organize bills to be paid
* learn calculus to balance my checkbook ;)
* organize and burn a CD I promised to brian1789
* email owed to HWSMB

Time to get moving...

So. I live no more than a mile from a major entrance to 66, and I just realized there's a recently-opened Michael's in the shopping center across the street. I could make myself crazy if I keep dwelling on this kind of thing, so I'll try not to do that anymore.

(For those of you fortunate enough to not be playing along at home, I'm referring to this. This latest one was also less than two miles from a friend's residence.)
