So I make a point on occasion to not leave the house until I listen to a full soccer Match on SiriusXM. And by listen I mean I have it on while I'm next to either my phone or my laptop.
Finally woke up around 10; it just so happens that an EPL Game at 10:15. Wanted to eat fast food (turns out I had a Burger King coupon set to expire today), then see if I would run into my stripper girlfriend at the Floyd Memorial, then get some juice at Target -- and I would have liked to get out of the house in the late morning/early afternoon. Shoot, when I woke up I remembered that Wendy's has this breakfast promotion whereby you can purchase one of four items at full price and get a second of those four for $1. But, I wanted to listen to the match, in its entirety. Not necessarily listen to it intently; I figured I could put on sunscreen and bug spray so I could leave as soon as the match was over. But I wanted to stay at home to listen, and if it means staying at home till a bit past noon, so be it.
And then I realized that when I went into the bathroom to put on sunscreen and insect repellent, I left my phone in the bedroom. Surely wasn't paying attention to the Game then. So did I really listen to the EPL Match in its entirety?
And so I stayed at home for two Hours to fulfill a tenet of my OCD that I technically did not fulfill, and I was late leaving the house. Didn't matter, to be honest; the crowd at the Floyd Memorial has thinned out considerably since last week, which was thinner than that of the week before, and I didn't have to stick around because my stripper girlfriend never made it out there. But still.
