I didn't want to go grocery shopping

because I knew It would be depressing.
I wasn't looking forward to single shopping, I like family shopping, eventually I
had to get some bulk goods.
I was popping into shops for raw veggies and eating
as I'm walking out the door.
I'm not looking forward to laundry day, for the same reason.
The housemates WILL look forward to my laundry day if I don't go so I think it will be soon.
I went to the Crash site on Alberta yesterday, rather I went near it, I had a meeting nearby.
Saw a bunch of folks I love inside one hour.
I needed to meet with someone and I was waiting when I had notion that what I was really hunting may be nearby.
I got on my bike and rode 9 blocks away hoping that my guy would stay when I was gone.
I went into a coffee shop and got a cup of coffee that I didn't want or need.
I went outside, placed my coffee on my bike, looked up and could hear/smell my son.
His voice and my daughter's have been in my head constantly, this time it was real.
My little penguin came around the corner covered in snot and being escorted by Caffeine and Bonaroo.
The sight struck me like a ton of bricks, I had to sustain my rock star-i-tude and keep it real.
I hung out with the boy for a minit, caught up with him and then gave him back.
Caffeine was hot looking and in a good mood, Bonaroo was Bonaroo.
It was good to see them but I didn't want to intrude so I split.
On the way out I saw Rabbito and he told me Bobby Panama was at a cafe nearby.
I shot down there and hooked up with the beast, I think he will be doing the show with us this weekend at the co-op.
Then I remembered why I was there in the first place.
I took to the road and met my mark.
I hussled up a good $200 and then went to my friends at A BETTER T Shirt Co.
It's funny to make money off investments and then have to give it all back investing.
I had to get new t shirts and I printed a really keen new circus shirt, we will be selling them this Sat. too.

Some things are the same some not so much.
I haven't turned a television on since I got here, I had more than a few dull moments but I'm not
feeling alone.
The TV was my companion during a time when everyone that I did have contact with wanted something from me (even if it's wanting me to go away).
The tv took the edge off some lonely frikkin times, had strangely in a crowd.
Here I'm a dude with rent to pay and a chore to keep track of.
Can't argue with results, I haven't argued with anyone, I'm healthy, sober, strong, I eat what I like and theres always plenty of it.
I still am the last to bed and the first up, I think it's because I have stuff to do even if it's doing nothing, i don't want to sleep through it.
