so another week begins.

it actually began yesterday, but then it's all sort of arbitrary anyway. i'll let someone else argue about whether the week starts on sunday or monday. i never used to think about it that much, and i feel like i'm thinking about it now because i'm past any point where days will run together anymore. each day is pretty distinctive now, which is nice, because it keeps monotony at a minimum and i don't do real well with monotony.

monotony, that's a funny word, and it makes me think of the school cafeteria in middle school. every once in a while we'd have what were called monotony breakers which was basically just a dessert that we didn't usually have, like a funnel cake or something. the biggest actual difference was the big banner that said "monotony breaker" that went on the back cafeteria wall. nothing against funnel cakes either, but it felt weird eating them in the cafeteria at school as opposed to the fair, kinda like eating a hot dog at someplace besides the ballpark.

so anyways, i went grocery shopping yesterday and it still blows my mind how expensive that can get. i didn't even get all that much stuff and ended up dropping nearly $70. i didn't mind so much because it was the first time i could get fridge food without having to think about how long it would last in my fridge.

my back still hurts, i've been reduced to pondering the merits of icy-hot.

feeling: a dull pain
thinking of: wes, whatever happened to that guy?
