Mentally Drained

It has been so busy at work lately. I accepted seventy-two telephone calls today! I was mentally drained by the end of the day. And yet…I feel so broke financially.

I went home and napped for a while after my work day. I did telephone Chad when I woke up.
“I just wanted to tell you that I am heading to the gym now. I also wanted to say Happy Month-A-Versary.”
I didn’t think Chad would be up for going to the gym.

While at the gym I saw Rick and his friend. His friend gave me a “hello” greeting as well as a “goodbye”.

And Mark (the other guy that Chad knows) also said, “Good bye”.

I also saw Leonard Perillo. We talked pleasantly for a while as we both pounded away on the Lifecycle machines.

When I think of my financial situation I get depressed. I want to close my eyes and start again. In reality I know I am pretty well situated for a single twenty-six year old chap.

Cedric Green telephoned. He wants to get-together some time.
I gave him the usual: “Yeah, sure…we will go out soon.”
It seems we never do make it happen though.

I meant to tape the latest episode of DYNASTY but it didn’t air tonight anyway. There’s so much commotion about this show these days.

My blemished chin has slowly recovered from its month-long period of anguish. It’s grody-feeling when you feel like you look grody.

When I returned home from the gym I received a phone call from Chad. That was nice. I explained to him about my busy day.
I added some news of interest to Chad, “Oh, I heard that Sly Stallone and his wife were in San Francisco. They went to visit the 24-Hour Fitness by the Marina.”
I heard this on the radio and it made me think of Chad. Chad had previously told me that Sly was “uncut” (uncircumcised). How on earth does he know that information?


I washed a few loads of laundry and then I hit the hay (after an ice-cream cone).
