All The Way Home

Invariably I assumed that the day was going to be as drab as any other Tuesday.....however it turned out to be rather exciting and now I really cannot wait to cause some mischief this weekend. You see, it all started at 7:15 this morning when I received word that the Bosstones are playing McCoy and that is just about one of my largest weaknesses and Radio Mike has the hookup. So there I was yawning to death in BNI where the fabulously refreshing text message informed me of their intended arrival. The text pretty much set the tone for the day. I was rather excited to continue my day and go about it aggressively when I reached the office. Having a bit of fun to look forward to in the not-so-distant future was rather teasing. As I arrived in the office and checked my messages to find out one of my clients from the old stomping ground settled his family estate and I basically hit pay dirt. From there he came in to open so many accounts that I was thoroughly exhausted after his departure. I needed a walk and it was a very beautiful afternoon so I decided to take a stroll. WOW! It was terribly windy and let's basically put it this way......I looked like a bail of hay when I returned back to the office. Alas, I needed the walk and when I returned to my office I had another surprising vm.....Bee. I never expected a call from him and he is coming to town...and am having mixed emotions about seeing him........that made me weird. He is great but has this way of sucking me back in to his web of emotions and I need to take time to redevelop my strength.....a man repellent is what I need.

So flash forward to this afternoon when I had to drive to Barrington to meet a client. On my way there I saw what looked like a fire in the distance. As I continued down the trail I discovered lots of fire.....on both sides of the street I was driving down. I hate fire, it freaks me out....so naturally driving down the road where there is brush on fire on both sides of the street was really scary; like the movies. When I arrived to my destination I realized I broke a sweat, had shaky hands and was pale. I knew I feared the flame but could I possibly have a condition? I thought it might be rather amusing to have a phobia until I realized that with a terribly unoriginal sounding "arsonphobia" was not something I could commit to and therefore I will talk myself out of this fear....but the brush was raging on-fire. I did drive past the scene of the crime on the way home and it was a bunch of burned bushes (no Moses jokes please)....sad.

When I arrived back to the old landmarks I hit up the gym where I was encountered by a girl with several hula hoops and thought to myself that I really need to start reading books during my workouts because watching this nutter swing hula hoops around her neck was not compelling.

When I arrived home my tickets came by post; YAY for ARMIN AT ESTATE! I really cannot wait until Friday night. I really cannot wait! Have I mentioned I really cannot wait?

All the way home to my bed where I now lay snuggled in my bunk...with eyes wide open....today was a weird day...all the way home!
