Take me home and leave me there.

Today in the used record store, on the shelf over the bins where they display albums they're trying to move quickly and/or they have a lot of, I saw Ani DiFranco next to Celine Dion. Words could not express my horror.

Yes, I was allowed out of the house today. Tomorrow it's on the plane and back to my "real" life of work and committments and responsibilities... To which I say, PHHHBBBBTTT. The more time I spend with my parents, the more I appreciate them (and all their quirks) but more importantly at the moment, the more I appreciate RETIREMENT. This must be what it's like - waking up, having things to do but no real pressing need to do them, and having plenty of time to get them done. I could survive on $15 a week. It would suck - a lot - at first, but I could do it.

In 37 hours I will be back at work. PHHHBBBBTTT.
