Well it’s Theme Week apparantly here in Chicago.
1) Tuesday was Expensive Day. See my previous post about Expensive Day.
2) Wednesday was Busy Day. I was running around like a crazed warthog doing errands and working EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF THE DAMN DAY.
3) Today is Complicated Day. Everything in my life is complicated today. It started this morning when my mother called me and apologized for paying off her credit card with my money. Then we couldn’t get anywhere because there was road construction on every single street in Chicago, including the parking lots. We couldn’t even go through the food line at McDonalds. We had to go through alleys and all sorts of hooplah that wasn’t necessary at all. Then I had to leave and go to my Gym session at 12:30. 4 busses. FOUR busses. Really. Then I get to the gym and my trainer says that my payment for PT this month was declined. Even though I have plenty of money in the bank. Great. So we made phone calls and I finally just went to the ATM and paid cash. There goes 25 minutes of my training hour. Money well spent. Then as I tried to board the bus to get back to the Port, I realized that I had put my chicago transit card in my front pocket. Well who was to remember that I had magnets in my pocket from Busy Day when we posted posters at Columbia? Not I. So my card was ruined from the magnets, and so of course I only had a ten in my pocket. So I had to un-board the bus, as it were, and go buy something stupid to get change. Finally got on the bus and OH BOY busses no longer give us transfer passes, which means I transfer busses and I have to pay another $2. UGH. So then I get on the North Avenue bus and I’m sitting on it for about 10 minutes reading my book, and we haven’t moved. I look up and everyone has cleared the bus. I ask the driver and she says “No, I’m not going anywhere until 2:26.” …Oh, okay. So I went and had a cigarette then read some more waiting for the magical time of 2:26pm. May I say that this happened on the North avenue bus on the WAY to the gym as well. Finally made it back to the Port. Talked to Harmony. She wrote our rent check from her OLD account, and thusly it bounced. Great. Well we need to go get a certified check to replace it, and I am absolutely positive that the bank will be held up by a criminal when we arrive. What else would you expect on Complicated Day? So… I’m excited to see what else happens tonight. I am afraid to go anywhere. I am terrified to leave this office and walk upstairs. I simply do not like Complicated Things. So, you see, I do not enjoy Complicated Day.. ALL that much. le sigh
On a higher note, last night was the WONDERFUL celebration for Chrissy and her baby!!! I cried during the video that Clara made. It was just such a nice send-off. Oh and then we found the 13 bottles of champagne. OOPS. well if you are reading this then you have probably some idea of the rest of me and harmony’s night. It was quite fun. However I was forced to meet Complicated Day with quite a hangover. Which made the gym REAL fun. And I still have it. I’m not a champagne girl. So… where are we going tonight? Nick’s? Maybe a boystown spot we haven’t been to in a while? Gentry? Duffy’s? I do NOT want to stay at the Port. So there. Alright enough is enough. I am going to fearfully get back upstairs. Wish me luck…
Happy Complicated Day Everyone!!
