Overgrown

I just couldn't take it any more--five days was too much! Since I was ill earlier in the week, and these past two days have been my normal days off, I haven't left the house since Sunday. Hell, I didn't even go outside until yesterday, just to see how cold it was (yeah, it was cold). Well, you know what happens when I've got that much time on my hands with no place to go--personal hygiene goes out the window.

Not that I've been lying around in my own filth--I've taken two or three long hot steam-inducing showers every day. But since I haven't had to make any public appearances, my razor has remained unused since last Saturday. Yep, I was beginning to look a lot like the missing link. It really started to irritate me yesterday afternoon, but of course I did nothing about it. And last night when I got in the shower, I considered shaving, but my inherent laziness won that battle. But this morning, around 6:30 or so, I woke up and it was bothering me, so I finally did something about it.

Now my head is as smooth as a supermodel's butt, I tell ya. And it also cuts about ten minutes off of my getting-ready-for-work time later this evening, now that I don't have to shave again until tomorrow.

Yes, it's back to the casino tonight for Mikey--I'm actually looking forward to it. Hanging around the house for almost a week straight watching HGTV is starting to get on my nerves. Seriously, why does every host on every program have to act like such an asshat? There's a fine line between enthusiasm and stupidity, and most of them don't seem to recognize it.

Now that I'm up, it's time to shuffle off to the kitchen and make some breakfast--coffee is out of the question, unless I want to drink it black (yuck!). But I've got plenty of orange juice and milk. And a box of blueberry muffin mix, too. Wait a second... I just remembered--although I don't have any coffee creamer on hand, I *do* have a bottle of Kahlua, and a can of whipped cream somewhere in the back of the fridge... Hmmm...

It's gonna be a good day, Tater!
