in honor of it being my day off, i drank all day as i was on the phone with eli lilly and roche laboratories trying to score some free drugs and calling up lawyers to come to my defense for something unrelated.
tonight, bloated from a day of spaghetti, beer, and general self-indulgence, i hopped on my brother's bicycle to pedal over to the convenience store. George smiled at me and handed me $6 back, which i tucked neatly into my bra strap. "What's that around your neck?" i asked. "it's in case the store gets robbed," he told me. "i just push this little button here." "well you be safe and careful!" i called as i left. George double-bagged my 6-pack to ensure its safety.
i tucked the bag onto the right handlebar, then tried to climb onto the bicycle, with minimal success. "Aaaah, fuck!" i shouted as i fell to the ground. a man popped out from behind a van and asked if i was all right. "don't ever ride your bicycle if you've been drinking," i said. "don't even try to get on it."
"that's some really sound advice," he grinned, then went back to filling up his gas tank.
George stepped out to look at me quizically but with concern..."I'm fine, I'm fine," i said, waving my arms around, then ambled off into the night to remount my bicycle in the darkest shadows, far from the light of the store, where no human beings could see me.
the beer (in cans) stayed attatched to the bike! the beer was saved!
i rode home with maximum success.
on my next day off i think i'll just *walk.*
drinkers, there is my sound advice of the day.
love,
sar
