Another pretty lazy day, although I did get some household chores done. I seem to have an air of satisfied lassitude lately. A lazy-ass attitude, I guess you might call it, were you an ungenerous person... which you aren't, I hasten to say.
I need to go fishing, that's what I need to do. But I won't, because I don't really want to. I really don't want to do anything, truth be told, but sit here and play on the web and the net.
And sleep... let's not forget the sleep part.
I was up very late last night, or rather this morning, going to bed as the sun was thinking about getting up... about 05:30, it was, then I still had trouble getting to sleep. Woke up about 10:30 feeling OK, not great.
We had a pork sandwich for supper, with a salad, and then I made us a chocolate malt. This time Karen shared with me, so I didn't over-indulge like last night.
A little excitement two doors down this afternoon... the old fellow that lives there had a coronary, and they took him out doing CPR on him. Bad sign, that. He's still alive, but I know how these things go, dammit. He's in his mid-seventies, I think, and he just stopped smoking several years ago.
Karen went over while everything was going on and comforted his wife, along with another neighbor-lady.
The whole thing reminds me, and Karen, of course... that I smoke too much. And I haven't even tried to quit lately, either... I been slacking off on that, just generally trying to forget about it. But I never do, really... I can't fool myself on that subject very easily. In fact, every time I light up I kick myself figuratively... my figurative ass is constantly black-and-blue.
And all to no avail.
Shit. Someday, I keep telling myself, there will be an epiphany, and I will lay them down and never pick them up again. And I keep waiting, and waiting...
Neither Karen or I can remember our neighbor's name. That is sad. Well, he probably didn't know ours, either.
Enough for today. I'm gonna try going to sleep earlier tonight, like within the next ten minutes....
