mood: nauseous
music: 'static waves' by pacific uv
yesterday i took 4 showers. (yes, it was that bad a day.) the obligatory morning shower, then one before work, after work, and before bed.
today, i decided to walk home from work to clear my head. instead, i just added physical duress and feeble motor skills to my growing resume.
then in a desperate attempt to feel better, i smoked too many cigarettes and got sick. after regurgitating into the good natured porcelain bowl, i decided that it was definitely time for another shower. i turned the water on to a notch below unbearably hot and sat down in the other empathic white object in the room. i blocked the shower drain by means of a rusted steel switch and let the water rain on me and fill the tub. you know you're too fat when water starts welling up in places you don't want it to.
the white steel was cold, which is a horribly bad thing. i like the cold, but not when i'm naked and can't do anything to shield from shivers. eventually it warmed from my body heat and the hot water, and i relaxed as best i could.
when the tub filled i stood up and worked on emptying the basin. you know you're too fat when you displace water equivalent to more than half the tub. so anyways, now i'm here and feeling a bit better than vertigo and preparing for another 12-hour day in the slave trade. i hate crashing my car.

Ackk! I hope you are not injured. I once rolled a vehicle that was my home (a '66 VW bus that I very much loved) so I lost my car and home in one roll, then my job as well, because I worked at Lagunitas Brewing Co. in Petaluma and you can't do much bottling and keg lifting when you have a torn muscle in your back, and then a couple months later I lost my father. So, I know I don't know you but I thought I would share all that after reading your last two posts.
Okay, I am going to an onsen now to soak in lovely hot water with my friend before we go make dinner with Krishna (someone from Nepal who lives here.)
*drool* mmm...'66 vw bus....
thanks for your sympathies. wow, that must've been one hell of a time for you. you've helped me put my troubles into perspective and i realize just how trivial some of these problems are now.
i hope you've enjoyed your soak and thanks again!
hey, i am glad if you have gained some perspective; i didn't have the foresight during that last spontaneously written comment to be aware that it might come across as me trying to show you that your problems are minor--i didn't mean for that to happen. yeah, that was one of the most difficult summers (but it was a really good summer in other ways) of my life. yeah the bus was pretty divine.
don't worry about it, it's probably true. i say probably because there's always a chance my car will decide to spontaneously combust because of the beating it's taken thus far. i'm going to try to reserve my whiny side for problems that matter more. exploding cars, especially when the contents include me: now that's something to whine about.
