I need a nap

Some days I just feel like a nap, but today I need one. The weather has been brutal with not only high temps, but high humidity, a dew point through the roof, and still putrid air that hangs over the valley like smog. A good day to sit in a dark bar drinking cold beer and listening to Tammy Wynette on the juke box. I should be careful what I write here; some of you will think I'm actually capable of doing that.

I took things out of the freezer to cook on the grill so now I suppose I'm committed. There's that damn dog barking again. Where's my pearl-handled Luger?

Does this feel a little disjointed? My friend Jill is gathering evidence to support my application for a Section 8 discharge. (Remember Klinger on MASH?) She can just print this post, I guess.

Is the photo one of your cone flowers? Beautiful! Hey, don't try to back out of the beer-and-country-music confession. It's definitely worth adding to the "I don't remember who I called" and "I managed to put in 30 minutes of time at work today" list. Stand by your claim, girl! You've got to stay strong if you want a Section 8!

I don't remember if it's one of the new ones or one of the old ones. They all look like hell now. I found a sliced lemon in the freezer. Does that count if I put it there?

As I said before, see why I don't think you work full-time in the summer? I'm just jealous.

Trade salaries and you, too, can go home at 2:00.

Oops, now Deb is thinking you're a sloth. Since it was just that one time that you worked a "short day", it counts for The List but not as evidence for other purposes.

About the lemon slice: it only counts if it had been used and sucked on. Otherwise, it could be a Martha Stewart thing. Of course, you doing a Martha Stewart thing could be listworthy. I know it would make my list for that reason, if I were applying for a Section 8.

Forget about that Section 8 discharge- there are too many people in line at your job looking for a way out that can act a lot crazier than you. Have I mentioned that those voices in my head are getting louder? I am not sure I am in control of my actions anymore- I may be capable of hurting myself or anyone that thinks that your (or my) job is easy and is in any way something which would inspire jealousy. Section 8 -here I come!

weekend

Regis and I went to the place for dinner where when you used to go there the bait shop had a better bathroom than the restaurant. Not true anymore. The bathroom is lovely and the beer is cold. Those are not in order of importance. I went swimming today and the water was a gorgeous temperature. I didn't want to get out but I was alone and it got a tiny bit boring. I tried treading water and watching television through the window but that didn't work so well. There was a monkey and that's all I know. I can count quickly five people I know well who have lost their jobs or who are fearful of losing their jobs. Scary times. Regis says the atmosphere at his work is awful...people think that on Friday they will come for them. We're going to see Dean McGraw at the Bothy tomorrow night. This is one of the best shows in town for fifteen bucks. You can have some popcorn, sit in the front row, visit with the Doctor Daniels , and hear some fine music. Sometimes Dean has us sing an...
