never take people for granted. this sounds like a general statement, but i am not saying it that way. i mean very specifically: never fail to appreciate the presence of people in your life. any people. human interaction is widely taken advantage of.
my friends and family have all been out of town for about four days. i thought i was going to pull my hair out. whenever you have no one with whom to communicate, you think about things like pulling your hair out, and other things you wouldn’t think of otherwise.
but today, friday the thirteenth, my luck turned around. phil came back to lubbock and i got an unexpected last paycheck in the mail from hastings. but there’s more.
today in the self-checkout line at home depot, yes home depot, i found a credit card. do not stop reading here, because that is not the extent of the good news. i picked up the credit card with absolutely no malicious intentions, and looked up the name on the ‘harley davidson special edition’ visa in the phonebook. the guy is ecstatic. he’s been looking everywhere for this card and when i meet him and give it to him, he slips me a hundred dollar bill. this is the moral: nice guys may finish last, but sometimes they get paid a hundred dollars for their efforts.
i am ready for her to come home, though.
