My lonely Sunday...

Salut again,

still sitting in my living room but not on the same sofa, I took the opposite one this morning... Working from home until the voting office opens... I take a little break to have a healthy breakfast (what? Nutella is very healthy you know) and a nice hot café latté... miamm... And thus I decided to tell you a little bit about what I did (or didn't do) yesterday...

When I wrote about it yesterday, before I actually started my day, even though I told you I didn't have a plan, there were a few things I wanted to do... Like working on my Novel (didn't do it), get some work done (didn't do much, just hit a few walls, ouch!), do the laundry (I finally started it this morning, I had to sleep in the guest room because I had removed the sheets from my bed and they were lying on the laundry room floor, I didn't feel like putting them back, they're in the dryer now), get some rest (I got a good chunk of that), and have dinner at la Piazzetta with my parents... Got half of that done... My parents couldn't make it...

I got through a few backlogs of personal emails, listened to some music, had a few beers and chips, learned a new song on the guitar and vocals (Your song, from Elton John, great song, I just love singing it... If only I could sing it right!!!)... I also lost plenty of time trying to get my cell phone plan upgraded with a data plan (now that they are getting closer to be affordable), but both Rogers and Fido's web site are just plain broken unless you want to get a new phone... I don't want a new phone, even if you are giving it to me for free... I already have a phone that I love... I just want to be able to frikin use it as it was designed to be... to access Internet wherever I am without having to pay zillions of dollars in monthly fees... geeez... I guess I will have to call... I hate calling these people, this is why I looooove the Internet so much... Ho well...

And then, it was already time for dinner (geee time really flies)...

My plan was to go have dinner with one of my favorite friends, the one that often goes to bed with me and get me to go to sleep later than I sometimes wish I would.. You know who... My computer of course... :-) I wanted to go work on my novel while having a good salad at my favorite local restaurant but faith decided otherwise. I arrived there at the same time as two couples that are good friends of mine, they were with their kids (and the kids are friends of my kids, of course, but my kids weren't there, they're with their mom, I told you I was alone yesterday, weren't you listening? :-)... So... I didn't get to work on my novel, but I had a great dinner with friends...

It was interesting to hear them half jokingly bitching about their relationships and how they all have to make compromises for each other, and all these other things we complain about when we are in a relationship... Yet... I could feel the love between them... Real love... And I couldn't help being a little jealous of their complaints... As I was saying yesterday, about complaining that we don't have enough time for ourselves, and then, when we finally do... we feel lonely... Aren't we all fucked up or not?

Anyway, it is now time for me to get my ass off the couch and go vote before I get to work and be productive, so that I feel I deserve all these great perks that Google gives me (at least up to now)... But before I go... I want to come back to this complaining thingy... I usually try not to complain about anything... If it is too cold in the winter (or on a freezing autumn day like today... geeez -20C...), I remember the moments in the middle of summer when people were complaining it was too hot to sleep because their air conditioning was broken (or nonexistent)... I didn't complain then, because I knew that it would eventually get so cold that I would miss this over heat... Of course, these are extremes, but what I want to get to is, like whether you're in a relationship or not, stop complaining, make the best of it... the opposite side will show up soon enough and you will then complain that you miss what you were complaining about before...

Got it?

Now just shut up and get productive (ho, sorry, I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to myself... Go MAD Go... literally! :-)

BYE
MAD... Having fun... as always... :-)
