one of those days
I’m at the gym, finishing my last set of bench presses with dumb bells and as I sit up, I feel an incredible stab of pain in my lower back. Last year, a similar injury put me out commission for a few weeks so I’m pissed because I know this is gonna put me out for at least that long and when I come back I’ll have to lower the weights I had been lifting. Hobble into the sauna and then the steam room and then regret opting for a gym without a hot tub. Homeland Advisory is … Green ... Low!
Sitting back at home and feeling pretty crummy about my back but, my mood changes as soon as an acquaintance calls and invites me out for a few drinks before the bars close down. Climb in the back seat of a crowded Honda and head to the gay-tto. As soon as I get inside the bar I check my cell phone for the time and realize that my antenna is missing. That would explain why I got so few calls. Look in my pocket for the antenna but I can't find it nor can I think of where I may have lost it. Computing internally how this is gonna affect my budget. Homeland Advisory is … Blue … Guarded!
The lights go up and the music goes down right at two so, it’s time to kiss the boys goodbye, exchange numbers with that guy who finally found the confidence to talk to me, and bundle up because, baby, it’s cold outside. Reach behind the couch where my coat was … and it wasn’t. Fuck me, I run outside but don’t see anyone with my coat so, I stand by the front door just in case the perp realizes his error and decides to come back in to return the coat he mistakenly took. What can I say, I’m an optimist. Homeland Advisory is … Yellow … Elevated!
Simmering but, my pals are there and will be supportive. One of them says, “Why didn’t you check it?” Another one, “You should have left it in the car.” And another one felt left out so he added, “That’s why they have coat check.” Gee guys, I didn’t feel bad enough but thanks for reminding that besides being cold - I am also stupid. This is why they are acquaintances and not friends. Homeland Advisory is … Skip Orange - Straight to Red … Severe!
I’m mostly disappointed because my coat was expensive (300 smackeroos), only a year old, and damn, it looked good on me (Hugo Boss generally doesn’t sit well on me but, this coat was like butter.) Will have to hit the mall this week and replace my damaged cell phone and mising coat because I hate not having the things I have grown accustomed to. My budget is definitely shot for the next few months.
As I write this my ... Homeland Advisory is … Clear ... Zen!
