I slept in until 2:30pm. If I'm not mistaken . . . that's actually the latest I've slept in in my life . No, I don't feel guilty about it. Not at all. As late as it was, I still only got nine hours of sleep. And it was perfect for my plan to get an oil change. I usually get my oil changed at Wal-Mart--their automobile-servicing area opens at 7am. Of course, if you expect the job to get done within 3 hours, you gotta get there early . And that was a tough thing for me--I hate getting up early. And that's why I've lately realised that . . . I don't have to get up early if I simply stay up very, very late. Oh, it'll work, you just wait and see. It's just after 3am now, which means I have just four hours 'til the place opens. Until then, I've plenty to keep me occupied. Hey--to-day I bought some Veggie Tempura at the mall. It was damned good. To get it, I stood next to a woman holding her flailing baby sideways. I also ran into Magious's grandparents at the mall. Those two are peculiarly over-kind to me. Sometimes I think that they think Magious and I are a homosexual couple--I mean, sometimes they tell me to take good care of him and such, and, well, they're just . . . er . . . quite sweet to me. It's almost too bad we're not gay--not many gay couples have such supportive grandparents I'd wager. This evening I purchased a 12 pack of Cherry Coke. And just as I was thinking about how hard to find Cherry Coke's been lately. Hm. My nose is cold . . .
