Stupid Hurts

The weather here has sucked lately. It has been raining hard for the past few days so flooded streets today came as no real surprise. My roommates and I were all out on the front porch watching the water race down the sidewalk and joking about the weather. When someone brought up ” Why do runners run in the rain? We let the conversation trail off. But once I got inside, the insanity set in and an idea formed. I asked my roomie Mel, “how about we race our bikes to the lake?” And for some odd reason she said yes. [newline]

So a few minutes later we pushed out bikes out into the flood swollen roads. It only took a few blocks and several car parts floating by for us to see the flaws in our plan. The water was now surging up past our axles and with every rotation of the pedals our feet dipped below the fast moving surface.

We rode for about five miles before self preservation instincts forced us home. While sitting in the living room all giggles and wet socks we lubed our bikes and waxed poetically about playing in puddles as kids. The fun memories and the ensuing colds.

Maybe next time we will stop and splash in a puddle or two.

I just got paid today, and I already only have a pocket full of change.

My roommates recently asked me to move out, and I have to admit it is for the most trite reason I have ever heard. My roommates want to be able to walk around naked. I guess that is worth inconveniencing me over. Because it really only bothers me because I am being inconvenienced, I honestly could care less about being thrown out. I just hate having to look for a new place. It is hard to hunt when I work 60-70 hours a week. Right now my next fore casted off day is the 11th. That doesn’t seem like so far off

I did find it a bit insulting to be asked to help with bills the day after being asked to leave. As of yet I have neglected to do so. I think I will keep it that way. I have been prone to bouts of swearing and ranting at work lately, and I think it is mostly stress getting to me, after stressing myself out about money for the past month or so. The worst part was when one of my co-workers came to tell me I was talking loudly to myself, I just told them it was the stress and to let me be.
