So I got home late tonight and went through the bills that were due. I wanted to commit hari kari, but instead, I wrote checks and stuffed envelopes and looked for second jobs. I applied to be a UPS sorter, with the dazzling possible shift of 3:30 AM to 8:30 AM, which in a week I could pull off before work.
Then I went into the bathroom to take a long hot bath to forget about it all. I lit candles, which I never do. Put in orange bath salts which turned the water this lovely peachy color. I stepped into the nice hot bath, got into the water and lay back, and got a sharp twinge from the skin on my hip from my freshly gotten too-soon-for-bath-water tatoo. Drat Curses and Fuck. I wanted to cry. I rolled over on one hip to get the tattoo hip out of the water. Sort of a bath compromise. About 45 seconds into it I realized that was lame and got out of the tub.
But none of that matters. A customer sent me a 1 GB flash drive today as a "tip". I got it at 4:55. It is awesome.
