spontaneity
midday wednesday i was feeling deprived, uncertain and more than a little depressed over the prospect of going home that evening to the chaos that is presently my home. therefore, i decided to flex my travel professional muscles while i had a couple more days to do so.
phoned the crowne plaza just a block or two from the office and had them hold a room. left my office at 5:30 sharp – almost unheard of- and headed to the corner drugstore for a one-night-stand kit…you know, travel size toiletries that will let you freshen up just enough to slog into your office the next morning with almost the same outfit on?
checked in and called the dirt to give him our rendezvous room number. he shows with a lovely rose and a bottle of cognac. that’s my hunny!
we were unsure of the bed at first. yes, we know exactly how one is used and we typically leave them unbroken but this was one of those freak foam beds – you know the ones where the commercial shows the people bouncing up and down while not disturbing a full glass of wine?
turns out we put it to excellent use and even got some actual sleep. it sucked rather loudly having to get up and go into work but if you got to you might as well go with a spit-shine.
prevention is kinder than destruction. each year over six million healthy dogs, cats, puppies and kittens are killed as surplus. remember: neuter, spay and don't let them stray!
