10/28/2002 Archived Entry: "G'morning!"

Tea water is on the boil...wake up time in the Webster household. Pico (the cat) has been awake for a while of course, whining at my bedroom door for me to get my ass out of bed and feed him. So I make my way out of bed, into my ragged old green housecoat, and spot that he has pooped on the floor. Why do cat's do this?! His litterbox is fairly clean, I gave him lots of attention before bed last night, and he still does it. Maybe he's mad at me for not feeding him as early as he wants?

Today I took the day off, going to get a bunch of things done. My list:

• Courier plane tickets up to my mom - but I am not allowed to use Fedex or UPS because they don't go to small towns apparently. I have a feeling they do, but my mom says this is the way it's gonna be. Greyhound it will be.
  

• Go buy a part I don't know the name of for my toilet - It's that thing that stops the water flowing out and is attached to the flush handle. Hopefully that's clean enough for the folks at Home Depot. I've never had a problem with them, they always know exactly what I need. Except when I went in looking for 1/4" sheets of copper, but I wasn't terribly surprised.
  
• Meet someone for lunch and to buy a guitar book off of her. I am The World's Worst Guitar Player right now and keep buying things and bookmarking song tabs in hopes that it suddenly gets better. I have a feeling I'm going to have to play some arcane form of bad jazz, since I have no internal sense of rhythm.
  
• I'm supposed to make a whole bunch of CDs for the wedding to give out to the people who come - Mostly nice celtic music. Maybe get a chance to compile the music today.
  
• Clean the house - This is a losing battle. I really wanted to have the house spotless before Jen arrives (seems kinda uncool to expect that she will clean it up after she gets here, but I know she will). I've even considered hiring someone to do it for me. *shrug*
  
• Relax - I get tense the day before work...every week. In fact, I am pretty much a big ball of stress at all times anyway. I just am really damned good at hiding it. Everyone thinks that I am the mellow guy in the corner when really I'm the guy who crawled into the corner hoping the world would just calm the heck down.
  

The tea, she has arrived. Off into the world.
