What Did I Do Wrong?



Yesterday was a waste.  I ate, slept, and got out of the house at four.  By seven-thirty I was home.  I putzed around and later turned on the television only to find the cable had been shut off.  No stove, no hot water, no cable.  Everywhere I looked in the house, something needed repairing, cleaning, painting, destroying.

Once again I think about putting this post and the prior one as my profile on some dating site.

I can remember when it was not like this.

And suddenly the phone goes dead, the lines dry up, all attention is lost.  It is odd to be human and have human emotions and human desires.  Perhaps the Victorians did not have it wrong.  Shut down the chthonic forces and live high in the mind.  Let the arts serve the sciences.  Let intellect rule emotion.

If you follow my drift. . . and things of that sort.

This morning perpetuated the wrongs of the day before.  The coffee maker went bad and when it quit its coffee making, the counters and floor were covered in it.  While cleaning that up, I discovered that the cat had left diarrhea on the floor.  The table top and floors are covered in unpaid bills.

How can I run away from all of this?  What have I done?
