noblwishI wasn't gonna drive today, but Uber has promised me a $70 bonus if I get 8 more rides, so...
I had a meeting planned for 2pm with an old college acquaintance to discuss the possibility of helping me with the Dallas 48HFP, but she got called into work on her day off. We may talk later.
Got a call from the Ex quite unexpectedly. He usually spends his minutes talking to his new "wife." He found chocolate tortillas in a Walmart in Alabama (iirc) and wanted my opinion. I have none. Then we talked at length about this and that, corporate greed, government corruption -- we actually agreed on every point, which is exceedingly rare. We talked about the kids, too. It's the most we've talked by phone in probably a year. There's still something there -- maybe not something with any future, but the past still has a hold on us, and I think his new relationship has kinda shined a light on some of the residual connection. I'll admit, I enjoy it sometimes. I still miss the man I fell in love with, and I've not met his like since. I'm beginning to doubt I ever will.
So, anyway... after I get that bonus, I plan to come home, have a drink and watch some laserdiscs with Cat and Robin. I deserve it. Tomorrow, I'll pay bills.
