Thoughts for the Day

This morning as I cruised around the SCV I was doing some thinking. The first thing I was thinking about came about as my stomach started to bother me a little bit and that is, “What do I do if I have to go to the bathroom?” This really is a dilemma because at 3:00 am in the SCV not much is open and that which is open does not offer public restrooms. I know some of you smart guys out there are thinking “What about a gas station?” Well where I deliver papers there isn’t much in the way of gas stations and the one that is up where I am doesn’t open until 6:00 am. Bummer! I also thought about the two markets up where I am and surprisingly enough they also open at 6:00 am. Drats! So what about a park, right? Wrong! Two parks and they attach to elementary schools and therefore they do not have public restrooms. I guess due to some really smart architects thinking they left the restrooms off because of the restrooms in the school. Well that’s fine and all, but they lock up the school. Smooth Move Slick! So now what?!? Drive home? NOT! I will have to make a friend on my route; you know hang out in the neighborhood, become friends with someone on the route and then ask them to leave a key under their mat so I can use their restroom in case of an emergency. The only part that makes this hard is the fact that I don’t get home from work until 7:00 pm. I know what I can do; I will take my kids up there and have them make friends…… no that won’t work. Well anyways I guess I’ll figure it out. Until then I guess the Depends will have to do.

The other thing I was thinking about was about Goofy. Is he a dog or a horse? No that was my dream last night, sorry. What was I thinking about? Oh yeah I remember it had to do with my sleep. I figured a way to convince myself that I am getting a good amount of sleep. Instead of thinking of it as 4 ½ hours at night and an hour here and there, I calculate it weekly. So now I see myself getting 42 hours of sleep a week. See that’s 6 hours a day. Funny how math works that way. So regardless of the fact that I get most of my sleep on Saturday and Sunday, it still looks good on paper. Boy I feel more awake already! Oh wait maybe that’s my Mountain Dew.
