Isn't it funny how something that seems so insignificant can just brighten up a week that just wont die? Well I had one of those Eureka! moments today, when I was cleaning out my car. Its amazing to me how easy it is to make myself happy, a clean car, haircut and a few dollars in my pocket to squander. That's really all I would ever need or want for that matter.
I started my day relatively late today, around 4:45, which used to make for a rather counterproductive day, but recently I'm taking the small victories over the full day ventures of things to be done. I find that if I can make things as simple as I can for just one mediocre task per day and do it very well that the satisfaction is amplified ten fold in the long run, instead of spending a whole day doing something and being completely wiped out at the end of it. Today that was my car. Tomorrow will be sleep and tomorrow night will be work. Following the same pattern for the rest of the weekend. 2 short days off on Monday and Tuesday at which time I will most likely kick the living situation solutions into a very high gear and trying to find out how much I owe on my car so that I can remedy that situation as well. All in all this has been a rather productive few days off. I hosted a bunch of folks last night for some brews and music in the living room. Consequently there was a girl that found my kitchen absolutely unusable, and disgusting. She decided to pretty much clean the whole thing top to bottom, and as I woke up this morning I was pleasantly surprised to see that it had been done.
This weekend will undoubtedly be one of the longest of the year, the chitlin's will be headed home to wherever they hail from and the city will be left to yet again overhaul the damages sustained from yet another school year. There is something very eerie about the way things are when there's no students here in the Summer. Traffic seems to flow normally instead of looking like the street department didn't plan for a city that is twice the population, like is most times found in the Winter and Fall months. It is quite a nice break having the city's population decrease by half this time of year though. It seems like there are more things to do for the people that call this place home that may be, "hidden," from the people that take a giant dump on it when they are in school.
