bound

so today was a weird day. lately i've realized that i'm getting really forgetful. not about big things but about little shit. this morning i had to do laundry cuz i was gonna be out all day and needed clean work clothes for tomorrow, so i woke up at the ass crack o' dawn to do my laundry. it's a simple task that i thought could be done before a 10 am meeting. i had it timed out and everything. but when i plan shit, it kinda unravels. today was no different. first of all the washer is broken and doesn't drain, so all my clothes are floating in a washer filled with water. i was gonna just leave it till later when i realized i needed a clean sports bra to wear today too. which is why i got up so early. needless to say that didn't happen. so i go back upstairs to get ready for my 10 am meeting and realize as i'm trying to leave that i can't find my wallet. i search and search my house for it, but it's nowhere to be found. finally, i think 'maybe it's in the pants i wore last night'. which of course is in the water filled washer, so i go downstairs, find the pants i was wearing and it's not in the pocket. so i have to fish around in the water and finally find my water logged wallet. i have to take everything out and dry it on the seat of my car on the way to my meeting. good thing it was already warm out.

anyways, back to the sports bra. so i can't really leave the house without a sports bra, but they are all wet and it's too late to dry them. so i decide that i will just bind today. i don't really like the way binding feels because, silly me, i like to breathe throughout my whole day. i do like the way it looks though. anyways, i don't have a binder because i haven't gotten it together enough to order the one that i want. the only thing i have is saran wrap. so i use it. there is nothing worse than wrapping yourself in plastic wrap in 80 degree heat all day. it's fine. i feel supported or at least not flopping around. as the day progresses, i end up in petaluma where it is 95 degrees. and by this point the binding is pinching under my right armpit. so i end up being a sweat-ferno with weird pinching all day. it's a good thing i didn't bind too tight today so i can breathe all day. but now that i'm free, it's so refreshing. no more pinching. no more sweating. oh yeah and of course there is the weird constant rustling sound of plastic as i move my torso.

another day in my ridiculous life. so to close i'm gonna end with these lyrics by dionne warwick:

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you

And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try to feel
The way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you

Whoa, and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember, oh

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
Oh, that's what friends are for

Whoa... oh... oh... keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, oh, for sure
'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for
For good times and for bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for (That's what friends are for)

On me, for sure
That's what friends are for
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
