The Importance of Being Idle

Tangled Up In Blue

Everything seemed to get on top of me for a while today. Well, not so much everything as the bills, that constant source of worry and stress. I tried not to let it get to me though, and actually sat and rationally worked things through and I could see that everything'd be okay. I had to work today though, more than expected due to someone else fucking up, and when I got home managed to acquire the new Guitar Hero (with guitar!) from the local Sainsbury for the bargain price of £25 'cos they'd been stupid enough to put it on display for that price. I honestly expected them to just say "well it was obviously a cock up" and tell me to hop it, but they didn't and duly handed over the toys. So far I'm impressed too, it doesn't seem to suffer from all the things that made me dislike GH3 so intensely and the new guitar is a fine piece of kit. Of course it's early days yet and there could be stunningly annoying things I haven't encountered yet but time will tell.
Then everything went bad again on the way home, when one my tires went flat. Whether it's been slowly losing pressure and I had somehow failed to notice or has just got a puncture I don't know yet, it's too dark to tell, but it's another expense I can ill afford and really hit me where it hurt. I know it's only money, but somehow the pursuit of it, the need for it to keep a roof over my head and my bills paid just seems to fill my head. I wish I could let go of it. Maybe in time eh?
