Sunday (told out of character)

It's now Sunday night, 10:53 PM. I just finished watching All the President's Men, a movie made in 1976 about the two journalists who uncovered Nixon's involvement with the Watergate scandal. I woke up at 4:35 this morning and couldn't find sleep until about 7:00, at which point I proceeded to lay unconscious until after 10:00 AM, an hour that I was not happy about. I awoke to the sound of rain and tires roaring through the soaked asphalt in front of my house, and walked around shirtless until noon. I was happy to find a fresh apple turnover waiting to satiate my morning hunger, and a warm shower to freshen my sullened mood. I spent the afternoon with friends watching barbaric men smash into each other, fiercely grab a hold of each other and run, catch and throw a pig skin around in their ultimately inconsequential goal of attaining points for their respective teams. It was highly entertaining, to say the least. I then sat down for what appeared to be a Thanksgiving dinner- turkey, stuffing mashed potatoes, peas and gravy- even though it's months away from that holiday date. After an hour or so of perusing the internet, watching Top Gear and the afformentioned movie I find myself again back in my queen size bed, adrift in oversized plaid sheets that beg to cover more than one. Nevertheless, I hope to find sleep soon, and start my week tomorrow with reverence and serenity.



Well that was fun. A description of my day while being in the character of what felt like a 1930's private eye mixed with John Steinbeck. Hah, I don't really know where that came from, and I didn't mean for it to come out as dark sounding as it might have. I guess I realized I haven't been doing much writing lately. Not that there was ever a time when I was doing a lot of writing just for my own, but normally I would be back at school by now and writing lots and lots each week, but now I don't have to. I should try to find time to again.

Anyway, last week went very fast, and for obvious reason. I wish all weeks were four days long. Work went well though, the projects are really starting to ramp up. We're going to start framing soon on the 70 unit senior building, and we just started pouring footings for the 35 duplexes. Hah, I can't tell you how nice it is to just be managing the project, and not be the one doing all the labor.

The weekend was pretty nice. Friday night all of us watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail, although I fell asleep halfway through because I was fairly tired. Saturday I spent the day with Beezer. We played trumpet (something that will be a weekly occurrence now on), and then spent a couple hours almost buying a car. Hah, I couldn't quite get the dealership down to my price, and then I was cut short because B had to get to a hockey game. But I've got a feeling they're going to call tomorrow. We'll see, I have my fingers crossed. Then all of us watched the Rutgers game last night at my house, which was HORRIBLE. Worst game ever, but at least we won. And of course I already described my day today. Except that it was a nicer day than it may have sounded.

These posts have been long. I hope that's ok. I really hope that everyone is ok. I hope everyone is great!:) I hope everyone is safe and happy.
