Two nights in a row, I did not sleep well. Last night it was my stomach. The concoction of Vienna sausages and macaroni and cheese did not sit well. I think it was the CPAP mask on Wednesday night. I am pretty sure I went no further than McClure's on Wednesday. No, that's not right. I went to the sheriff's - I got the 10:30 #17 bus out to the courthouse. It was raining off and on, so I said there and read Aristotle's Politics. About went to sleep out there. Then it was back downtown, jumped the #6 to the north side. Walgreen's for Ben-Gay, FedEx to copy my Chili's pay stub, and Aldi's for the staples (potatoes and apples) and some other stuff. I got back to the room about 1:30. Maybe a nap?
My memory is a bit troublesome. At Aldi's I was checking something out, turned back and began walking with a cart. I stopped when it hit me, it was not my cart.
I meant to do taxes today. I went to Payless for some fried chicken. Then walked across to Staples. I kept thinking I had paid for the groceries, and then I convinced myself I had to have paid for them. Only when I was paying for the thumb drive, did I know for sure I had not paid for them. Back to Payless where I paid for the groceries. From there, I caught the #3 downtown and the #5 back.
I ate my chicken and a salad. After that, I found out I had the wrong thumb drive. No sense doing taxes. I did some editing on the Mr Morgan story.
The call came in about the job. I start next Monday.
Which means I need to cancel the interviews I have next week.

An old crush, happy to see her still working: Elizabeth McGovern Wants Us to See the Real Ava Gardner.
I did not fast this Lent. It weighs on my mind, and I try to compensate otherwise. Not sure how that is going, either. I see my own shortcomings in From Altar Calls to Theosis: What Orthodoxy Showed Me about a Life of Transformation by David de Leon. I have been trying to decide if whether forgiving someone else's trespasses means letting that person back in my life, or if I can forgive and move away from her.
Over at Long River Review, Ally LeMaster offers three modern plays for reading and teaching, The Case for Plays. I know of two, but have not read them. The third, I do not know at all. Anything suggesting the teaching of Sam Shepard, I am for.
