Friday- Work early. Get off work. Get on bike. Sweat. Give hugs to friends. Get on bike. Sweat. Get home. Go on run. Sweat. Get home. Clean up. Get on bike. Sweat. Give hugs. Get on bike. Sweat. Get home. Drink beer. Hide in my room while Nicki packs up her room. Avoid conversation at all costs. (Remember Andrea, you're at a sensitive time of the month and will probaby start to cry if you can't find matching socks. You hardly WEAR socks!) Lock self in room. Drink shitty beer. Listen to animal collective on repeat. Suddenly realize how ridiculous it is to fall asleep to any song on repeat with a shitty beer in your hand. Drink the beer.
Saturday- Wake up with the shitty beer headache. Suck it up and offer a hand. Get rejected. Decide it's best to go to mom's house. I mean, it's Mom's house! Wave goodbye to T street and friend. Get choked up. Wish for beer. Get to mom's house. Find no beer. Scavenge through any drawer that looks like food fits in it. Eat the food. Hug Mom every time she passes by. Hug Dad. Hug sister. Eat the food. Hug brother. Hug sister. Hug Mom. Hug sister. (She becomes an extra limb when I'm around. I dig it). Make the salsa. Watch the movie. Wish for beer. (I don't even like beer that much!) Wish for gin. Watch the movie. Watch the news. Wish for bed. Get the couch. Don't get the sleep. Sister won't accept a quitter. Watch the news. Note the time. Try to get the sleep. Don't get the sleep.
Sunday- Get the alarm. Get to church. Do the thing. Get home. Make the food. Eat the food. Watch the game. Eat the food. Watch the movie AGAIN. Do the laundry. Hug Dad. Hug Mom. Hug limb (sister). Hug brother. Drop brother off. Finish the movie. Finish the laundry. Make the call. Miss the friend. Take the food. Pick up the brother. Get back to T street. Flip the switch. Feel the void. Pack the shit. Play the song. Avoid the beer. Repeat the song. Wish for gin. Pack the shit. Stay awake. Fight to sleep. Stay Awake. Fight to sleep. Stay awake. Stay awake. Still awake.
Monday- Still awake. See the sun. Curse the sun. Get the alarm. Curse the alarm. Take the shower. Play different song. Race to work. Work. Work. Get off work. Get on bike. Sweat. Get to other job. Still awake. Write the blog. Still awake. Stop.
