IN Digestion

Ok, I am seriously not doing something right. I have WAY to much free time, for someone who has no free time. I have realized on a day that I do not feel good (meaning my stomach hurts, or irritates me in the slightest manner) - I don’t hardly do anything. And the things I like doing most are ‘day to day’ things.

Like today, I am quite proud of the stuff I did.

For example, I wanted to wake up early, so I did - (though I only slept for 1 hour or so). But, I woke up. Now, I had also wanted to work ‘at the office’ but I knew there was no way to get two great things (waking up AND going to work at the same time). So I decided ok, I will go to bed and wake up in 4 hours and just go for a 1PM meeting.

Well, that’s the thing, i knew if I ‘actually’ fell asleep, I would not actually wake up - so with two alarms set, I slept but i did not sleep, see the alarm was set to 8 am or something. And went off every 15 minutes. So I would sleep into a sleep for a few minutes, and then wake up, and then slip back to sleep and then wake up. Needless to say, I did not actually get to sleep, so thus I did ’stay’ awake until the meeting. Which I went to.

Now some other cool things, ‘that are part of life’ that I feel so proud to do. I ate an Apple in the morning (of course, after french fries, mensaf, and french toast all within a few hours of each other I am not sure how thats suppose to play out), but ok so two things: Normally if my water is not working, I call the Haaris, or I call Adee to tell him to call the Haaris and let them sort it out - today, I walked upsairs to the roof and checked the water level myself, and made an infomred decision based upon the water level (yay at being a grown up!).

Then (as a step father should sometimes) I made some small polite talk with the kids of the house, and gave them a quarter each (its so much easier just to give money to kids then to not, kids love money) BEFORE they went to school. Normally at that time, I just want to walk around like a zombie trying to get back to bed, so I sucked it in and made about 30-45 seconds of talk - Kids are SOO SOO SOO much fun by the way, anyone who does not have step kids, I reccomened you go out there and get some - none of the guilt and responsibilities of having your own kid, and lots of fun and imparting to do to someone else’s kids).

So I took a shower went out to work, apparently was very mean to Fatima on the way out of the home, so I had to call and say I’m sorry very soon afterwards)

Oh ok, here is another example of what I mean, the other day, I told Adee, yes sure, lets meet up at 7:30 AM, so we can go to the bank together and do some important things ( I Had to pay the landlord, and I had to do some ‘bill collection of my own’) and I had to buy airline tickets for the kids. Note, Adee lives a good 10 minute walk from me. So at 7:30 he calls and says, hes sick and needs 3 hours of rest (its the truth he really is), so I agreed. However when he called at 10:30, i had the gut suspicion that since he was sick he would ask me to come to his home and we’d leave from there, and it makes all the sense anyway, as it is strategically closet to everyything, im on the way out. So since i suspected this, everytime he called, I put the phone behind my pillow as to not wake fatima as I am sure shed disapprove and then go back to sleep, he called at least 10 times. 30 Minutes later, the bell rang a LOT, I mena a lot, because he was 1. Mad, 2. Thought I Was sleeping

So because of this, he came to get me versus me having to wake up grumpily and goto him, of course, I aplogized for it, but in the end, I HATE waking up when I don’t feel perfectly well -

So Today on the other hand, I woke up, I went to work, and I went to western union to send my fatehr some money to put into my bank account AND I went again to take care of a minor detail, - I know its not "REALLY" a lot of work done, but to be honest, I am SO beamingly smiling after all day of not (also, i feel a bit better), so I am really happy - this adult thing will come around sooner or later. (Ive not gotten to work, class or any appointment in the morning on time ever in my life for more than 2-3 days in a row), so now that I kinda got it together this morning, I believe the rest of my life may have a chance…

Anyway, I am happy!, oh and the other really important thing in my life (retiring by the age of 25) is going SO SO SO smoothly, realsitcally by the end of this year if all keeps going the way it is, I WILL BE OUT OF COMISSION, no work, nothing, just sitting around eating sleeping and day dreaming (I am DEAD serious) and on top of that im married, have children and a mom and dad on top of it all). Not bad not bad..
