The UPS driver left a box at my door this afternoon. I had returned several foof chair covers to be exchanged for a different color and the factory sent me replacements in the same color! The company's website is down and they weren't answering the phone.
I also won $1300 at fantasy sports (nascar) last year but went through hoops to finally get the check last week. I deposited the check yesterday, hoping it doesn't bounce.
I'm so stressed out I can't even deal with good things happening to me. So I had 18 beers delivered.
I guess I'll go play poker at pogo for semi-meaningless tokens, not money, although I cashed in my "millions" and won $250 in real money last fall (about the same time I won the other thing). That check came 3 months later.
My typical day is to wake up with strong coffee, check my email, tinker with my nascar team or do a little research, eat, take a turn on the porch, look out the window, and go back to bed. I repeat this cycle about 3 times per day. I sleep so much my I had a long bout of "frozen shoulder".
I was even thinking about admitting myself to the VA hospital - which is really last resort. I wouldn't qualify for "rehab" since they don't consider me near as chronic as their typical customer.
But I could get on a psych ward. The last time I did that, they were running out of options and recommended electro-shock therapy. (I didn't go for it since I saw the results on other patients - not good)
I'm dreading tomorrow but meanwhile tonight, I'll be at pogo.com under the name, "XyzkQuibbleMoth" - probably playing high-stakes texas holdem. I can only play that game when I'm drinking. If the surf is up and he finds the "tube", QuibbleMoth is unstoppable at poker.
Tomorrow, I look forward to day of hiding beneath the covers, taking a peek, and calling it a day.
