the other day we had a chipmunk sneak into our house. we lost track of it until i spotted it on the inside of our open window. naturally i found a big cardboard box and told my dad to slowly shut the window, trapping it in the box. chas had other plans and pushed me aside. as he lowered the window the lil dude freaked out and tried to get to freedom. i didn't think chas was still so sharp with his motor skills, but our little friend was accidentally beheaded. i saw it all and let me tell you something. that was the first and last execution i ever want to see. chas was pretty down about it. "i didn't mean to kill him. he was an adolescent". he never laughed. i've worked my way to a chuckle here and there, but it will forever haunt me. i will never open that window again.
you know how i always joke about a rich older man saving me from all my problems? well, the opportunity presented itself last week and i cracked under pressure. cracked doesn't even describe it. i was sweaty, awkward, uncomfortable and full of self doubt. sure, it sounds like me at the Y, but this was in regular clothes. i've learned my lesson though. if anyone offers to buy me things or pay of my student loan ever again i will quit my job and tell my family sorry. so many regrets. so many loans. jkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjk, but not really at all.
i had a phone interview today. wahoo. i was sweaty, awkward, uncomfortable and full of self doubt. i'll let you know if i get the job!
im sitting in my underwear wondering who the next person will be to sit on this couch. they will have no idea 1/2 my butt touched it. but you will. and so will i.
I love you and I don't doubt you, not for one second.
ReplyDeletebarbara will surely be offended that you vow to never sing the lyrics that have befriended you in times of utter despair and misery.
ReplyDeletenext time she and i have tea with the prime minister, i'll avert the conversation to another topic so she won't feel the need to cage her tears in the recesses of those baby blues.
enjoy living life without pants on. that's how real life is meant to be.
