I called in yesterday, due to an upset stomach. I've been getting those more often lately.

While I was home, my Internet connection decided to disappear. The Comcast guy should be out this afternoon to fix it.

My mom was over, so I couldn't watch TV.

Instead, I read. I also organized my room more. It actually looks like a room!

Today I spent fifteen minutes digging out my car.

A poem I was reminded of recently

After Reading Mickey In The Night Kitchen For The Third Time Before Bed, by Rita Dove

I'm in the milk and the milk's in me!... I'm Mickey!

among the spilled toys,
my prodigious scallops
exposed to her neat cameo.
And yet the same glazed

She is three; that makes this
innocent. We're pink!
She shrieks, and bounds off.

Every month she wants
to know where it hurts
and what the wrinkled string means
between my legs. This is good blood
