Case in point, the next several days:
- I have to work a Game this/Saturday afternoon in Minneapolis, plus there's an MNUFC Match in the evening I need to go to. And I will have a couple hours to kill, so I figure I can go to a brewery, drink a beer, and work on my fantasy football stuff, which I should have sent out at least a couple weeks ago.
- Tomorrow/Sunday I get to sleep in (if my parents don't fuckin' wake me up in the goddamn morning), but I am supposed to go out to Palmer's to see Cornbread Harris in one of his final residencies before the place closes next month. I figure it's better to see him now than one the final ones in September because I'm guessing it'll be really crowded after Labor Day. On top of that, there's the Nine Inch Nails concert at the X in St. Paul. I'm not a huge fan, but I still want to see him. Moreover, many of my friends from high school love NIN, and for that reason I want to see if there's a ticket at a non-unreasonable price available. Harris's concert is from 5 to 7; the arena show doesn't begin till 7:30, and who knows when Trent Reznor & Co. hit the stage. So my plan, assuming I get a Nine Inch Nails ticket, is to drive all the way to downtown St. Paul in the afternoon to get a free spot (thank Buddha St. Paul doesn't enforce meters on Sundays), take the light rail westward to Palmer's, and then take it back eastward to see NIN. Sounds like a plan ... a very long and busy one.
- I've realized that work on Mondays will be the longest just because the work in the departments I work in aren't usually worked on over the weekend. Therefore, wherever I am, I have to deal with the work that came in Saturday as well as Sunday and, possibly, that Monday morning. On top of that, I have gotten kind of tired of going home real late and seeing all the food my parents left for me. It's usually a lot, and despite them repeatedly saying I don't have to eat it all, they're a bunch of damn liars, and I have to eat it all. Finally, my wellness screening at work is Thursday, so the less shit I eat, the better. With that being said, after work Monday I plan on going to Hooters because I have a calendar coupon where I buy ten boneless wings and get another ten for free. But I will not drink pop.
- I have Tuesday and Wednesday off because I need to block off time to do some extra exercising before the screening. I need to work out in the worst way. But I will do that after eating dinner with my parents where I can control my portions. Tuesday afternoon I plan on seeing ****e for a visit (if you know what I mean), and Wednesday I want to ... well, eat somewhere. That and maybe hunt for this tool Mother wants me to find.
- Thursday's the start of The Minnesota State Fair, and assuming I get out at a decent time (and assuming I can find free parking somewhere), I will start my day getting my screening at work, then work, then going to The Great Minnesota Get-Together. I love going to the Fair, but right now, that entire day seems daunting to me.
