My Knees! in Hello

Took mom to the Aquatics Center today for adult swim. My eyes are still burning slightly from the chlorine (even after a shower and eye drops) and sweet baby Jesus my knees feel worn out. I had fun though. It was especially funny when someone turned the music on in the area and started playing Rage Against The Machine’s Sleep Now In The Fire.

I’m 42 and the youngest there, next to the twenty-something college student life guards. So ya, hearing that in a pool with old fogies gave me a good belly laugh. At one point I was hanging out in the deep end, just letting my legs dangle. It made me wonder what it’s like to be in zero gravity. Is it possible to sleep not Velcroed to a bed, just floating around?

Since paying off the mortgage mom has been hit with insurance and taxes for the house. Times like this I am reminded of my suspended license and how I can’t find a job till it’s reinstated. Fuck! I’m trying not to let it stress me out but it is.

Then again with such a clusterfuck of uncertainty in the USA these days…

Some days I know it’s all pointless and that it’d be better to just eat a bullet. Or make toast in a full bathtub. Whatever floats your boat.

I finished all three seasons of Hannibal. Boy did it differ VASTLY from the source material. Some stuff I liked, some I didn’t. (Seriously, the Asian assassin gal Cheyo who came out of nowhere? WTF???)

Been up since I woke up from my “nap” yesterday afternoon that extended to 11 PM. If I got to sleep now I’ll wake up at a ridiculous time like midnight or 2 AM.

I’m just so done with the world lately…
Hey, invisible man in the sky!
What happened to that Rapture we were promised???
Can you just kick start Armageddon already and end this simulation?

Edit; Oh ya! I knocked a full can of carpet cleaner spray off the counter and it landed on top of my bare foot. I’ve got a gnarly mark where it hit. Oh a lot of F-Bombs came out of my mouth when that happened last night.
