"Oh That's Cool"

Alas, I have come to work again at 7AM. I received my paycheck today. The grand total was $829.00 which was ‘exactly’ what I needed. Now the only problem is that I have no spending money. That’s kind of tough when I am leaving for New York in less than nine days from now.

I was in Chinatown this afternoon with Margaret for a change of scenery (at lunchtime). I ate chicken and I didn’t eat it all and left it under my desk. Yikes! I guess the nighttime Janitorial crew will be having a snack.

I did not go to the gym tonight. Instead I chose to nap. I evaluated my financial situation. I wanted to open a separate SAVINGS Account at a Federal Savings and Loan but the spare change isn’t there to do so. All in due time I suppose.

I did telephone Mark Landreth late on this night. We may go out tomorrow. It will be Friday night—after all.
Mark said, “Yeah, I saw Anne and Patty at the gym tonight.”
“Oh that’s cool…I don’t know if you want to do that run on Sunday morning.”
“Oh, I don’t know.”
“Well, we don’t have to decide about it now. I’m not sure I want to do it either.”

There’s no word from Ron Leoni. I hope I hear from him soon. I’m counting on him for some New York City plans and adventures.

"You can have so much damn fun in your dreams."
