Happy Hour

Current mood: thirsty

It's silly that they call it Happy Hour. I can be happy whenever I want to. Tonight apparantly I wanted to be "happy" till sometime past 3 in the AM.

Why cleaning women are truly remarkable beings.

Current mood: relieved

So I returned from tour, which you may or may not know ran into some issues and challenges along the way. We had terrible weather. One of our band members had some personal stuff to attend to. I'm gonna keep this short and cryptic, but the tour did not go anything near the way it was planned to, in fact we only got to play one gig...never even made it to New York. Upshot...I got to sit in the second row behind the Orioles dugout at a a ball game in Baltimore.

Picking up where I started... So, I returned from the tour. I was tired. I was exhausted. I was emotionally and physically fatigued. I really needed to crawl into the dark hole I call my apartment and recuperate. Got to the door, and the work that was being done on my floor was not only left unfinished, but the entire apartment was a mess. Naturally (those of you who know me well should not be surprised by this) I flew into an absolute panic. A real my life sucks, and it's the end of the world kind of emotional spiral. The construction dust was everywhere--on the floor, on the walls, on the ceilings, in my closet...in my silverware drawer!!!!

Enter the cleaning woman, check that, cleaning women who have saved me from the pits of despair. To the women who have spent hours with my dusty living quarters: Oh, thank you for cleaning my apartment!!! Thank you for turning my dismal, smelly, filthy place back into a home for me. Maybe I could have done it myself, but thanks to your affordable rates, I can rest at ease and concentrate only on washing my chemical smelling dust covered clothing. You have lifted my burden!!!! (well you lifted the biggest part of the burden, in any case.)

To the rest of you: Cleaning services are worth every penny. Every penny. Also, the number of pennies required for services is fewer than I expected.

Now, perhaps I can rest in my apartment and breathe through any other stress I have allowed to accumulate in my life. Perhaps this wonderful apartment cleaning will inspire a brain cleaning!

Cheers,
