The lonely moth.

You know, it's days like today when I know that God exists. When I am having a doozie of a day that tops even my last post, and everything that could be going wrong is seriously considering doing so. I know God exists these days becuase there's no good reason for a pair of completely awfully nice people from South Carolina to come in and lavish their kindness upon me. There's just no way. Today is a day for more of God's most irritating kids, but he still sends people to me who brighten up my day and keep me from going completely postal.

On days when the world is throwing every punch at me that it can, it seems that something steps in to just give me a little boost. And on any other day, this kindness would maybe go completely unnoticed.

Yesterday was an interesting day. I managed to go to Burger King instead of McDonalds. The funny thing is; I didn't realize this, and was completely obvlivious to the fact that I was at the BK, all the way up until the girl said "Welcome to Burger King, ...". At first, I even thought she was kidding. She wasn't. So, being the "go with the flow" guy that I am, I politely asked her to wait a moment while I figured out what I wanted instead of snack-wraps. I chose two plain cheeseburgers (which ended up having little amounts of ketchup on them, which was actualy an nice little surprise. I like ketchup.) and a large Dr Pepper. It wasn't a bad little treat.

Yesterday, I also completely forgot to bring my frozen food lunch to work. I didn't realize it until I was at Kellogg & Greenwich.

I also accidentally showed up to work 30 minutes early. Not because I looked at the wrong schedule, or because I looked at a clock wrong. I just got up, and knew I had to get ready for work, so I did, then drove all the way out here, looked at the clock to see if I had time to go to McDonalds, and saw that I had 30 minutes with which to drive through, get my snack wraps, go to work, eat said snack wraps, read a book, learn to fold origami, play the fiddle, and then start work.

And then I went to Burger King.

You can see why this was an interesting day. In response, I thought that I would give myself a nice relaxing day today, which ended up not being the case, partly because Lisa wanted the afternoon off, partly because of other reasons, and partly because I paid my phone bill.

I wonder if what ducks would call duck-bluetooths. Phone bills?

There's a moth in my store.
