First Days Not in School
Sunday I actually slept-in. Then I took the bus to the next town over and tried to locate my grandmother's grave. I couldn't find it, even after calling an aunt and keeping my voice steady enough to ask her. The office was closed so I couldn't follow-through with the advice to ask them when I didn't see it on the path the aunt had remembered seeing it on.
The ex called to ask if I was coming-out to Harvard Square so I met him and we went to Algiers for coffee/tea. Part of the conversation included our sense of time and how for us our longer memories mean the past was just yesterday while for other people yesterday was ages ago. Just yesterday we had our last visit/last visit together (3 years ago) on some outside, second floor seating and he told me there used to be a pit crowd of the late teens, early twenties who would go to Algiers for long conversation. Week before I didn't even existed.
After I said good-bye to the ex at North Station, I went to see my friend Tom who sells handicrafts by the realtor's office on Newbury Street, Boston. It was too cold for him to sell today so he met me in front of Sonsie's with a top hat on his head. Amazing how one hat can instantly make him seem dressed-up. To celebrate the New Year, we went to the wine shop across the street and bought me Disaronno and Dr. Pepper. He already had Guinness at home for himself.
Three glasses, over-half of the 375 ml bottle, with only a little in Tom's stomach, 2.5 pieces of bread, and over 750 ml of water later. . .a friend of Tom's came over and we talked for awhile. After midnight, the friend went and we fell asleep. Before 7 AM, I was waking.
Monday I went home, went to the bank to cash two checks, went to CVS for toothpaste, and came back. An aunt of mine confirmed our plans to get together. Before leaving the house, I took care of the computer's troubles by taking a can of compressed air to it. It worked again.
At the coffee shop (Gunther Tootie's), I ran Windows Update and had a sour dough bagel with plain cream cheese and a medium coffee. Then my aunt showed and we went to Webster's Eatery in Quincy and ordered from the Lebanese selection instead of American. She had not been in the library since before the 2000 addition, so I showed her the inside. Then we went to the Goodwill and she told me her mother never liked Goodwill and always gave to the Salvation Army. I'm the opposite. We dropped my leftovers at home and I had her drop me off at the library.
I finally finished installing all updates to Icarus and got Microsoft IT Academy working on him. Now I have to take notes on all modules that expire 12/30 and 12/31. A youth with a Metallica shirt complimented me on him. When I left, I checked to see if a group of kids were still playing trading cards games in the cafe since my aunt noticed them earlier. They were so I texted her that they're still playing.
My head hurts. I want to sleep.
