I can call you betty...

[fizzawrites]

1. Wake up
2. Fall back asleep, have EPIC mid-morning dreams.
3. Wake up again. Curse western work schedule
4. Dress, make quick lunch
5. Avoid elderly man passing out on crush-crowd metro

6. Read Ulysses, get stares
7. Work, in some fashion
8. Get worked up about apartments, spend half the morning calling places from work
9. Call student loan office, get quick answer to unanswered for two weeks email
10. Leave work, wait ungodly time for orange line (!?!) metro, wait two trains until you can get on the red line
11. Get off at Tenleytown - have cheapest dinner out possible (subway) on the go as you walk to Politics and Prose
12. Amuse boyfriend while listening to book talk he has more interest in (he did the same for me a few weeks back)
13. Start long, leisurely walk back to Friendship Heights Metro.
14. 4 blocks from home, monsoon/downpour begins.
15. On block 2 of 4, you and boyfriend are completely soaked, purse to underwear, suit to boxers
16. Walk into house dripping, laughing out loud
17. (popcorn, drying of clothes, talking)

Man, I DO NOT WANT to get close to the red line tomorrow.

And what I hear is not still thunder, but fireworks in Maryland.
