Cabin Fever

Today is my second day spent mostly inside the apartment. Yesterday I was sick and spent most of the day on the couch in the fetal position with wicked stomach cramps. I feel better today, but after spending one day cooped up here alone I was ready to go out and have some fun.

Alas, Mike couldn’t go anywhere because of his album-recording thing. I couldn’t visit my friend Erica because our plans couldn’t come together and I couldn’t visit my sister and her boyfriend because of her schedule. And I couldn’t take the walk around the neighborhood I’d wanted to take because it’s TOO DAMN COLD. It’s currently one degree in beautiful Milwaukee, Wisconsin and that’s too cold to go anywhere. I did take a walk to the store this morning, and my shins are still smarting from the wind burn.

I did consider doing the following things:

1. Getting my nipples pierced

2. Buying a used guitar and teaching myself how to play

3. Buying a book at the store (but I didn’t, because Mike is insistent that I only buy books from bookstores, not Pick’n’Save)

4. Drinking until I was too sloshed to notice the cold, then go out walking

Instead, I did the following:

1. Napped

2. Went out for awhile to buy some screen printing ink

3. Wished it wasn’t so fucking cold

It’s supposed to be even colder tomorrow. I’m not sure I can take it.

I remember those days in Minneapolis when it never got above zero for an entire month. How about a Mai Tai and the Travel Channel where they go someplace warm. Just don't send us the cold front. We Californians can't handle that stuff.

"Buying a used guitar and teaching myself how to play" ?

What happened to the guitar you had?
