Disowned by family and estranged from friends, I'm really just going through the motions, tying up loose ends, and expecting to check out within 4 years - or sooner if my health goes.
I finally took on the garage today, and after 4 van-loads to the bottle/can redemption center and recycling center, I'm feeling a little less embarrassed about someone seeing my garage after I die. Of course I overpaid the driver to keep him quiet.
I must have built one of the highest pyramids of empty beer bottles in existance. It was seven feet tall with a base ten feet across. At least now I'll have room for the car I don't drive.
The idea was to clean out the garage and never drink again. Six days sober, I thought I could safely sort and transport over a thousand empty beer bottles. But with all the clinking of glass and faint smell of beer, I raced to the store for the full updated cold version when I was done.
I hope I don't get obnoxious. (what do I mean *get*) I'll probably just sit around and watch sexist movies. (I like *chick flicks* and always complain later how sexist they are) By the way, I rarely use the expression *chick flick* but it best describes the sort of movies I've been watching lately. "Miracles", "American Dreamer" and that sort of thing.
In spite of my complaining I watched "Bridget Jones" twice yesterday evening and got teary-eyed both times. I wish I hadn't stayed up and watched both "Remains of the Day" and "Howard's End" all in one evening a few days ago. I like Emma Thompson but there's a limit. I still haven't recovered.
Or I'll just play poker. Either way I probably won't post enough to get myself blocked, my usual custom in these circumstances.
