another night in someone else's bed

this week our neighbors are in the Dominican Republic. i am staying at their house to supervise their daughters and to make sure they don't have any parties or anything. i think. or maybe i'm just there for Mrs S's peace of mind.

i went over there around 21:00... Mrs S was already well on her way to a forget-that-she-is-afraid-of-flying state of drunkenness. she ran over a few things oh, here is the hot tub, bring your suit and feel free to use it (thank you, i will) all the keys are in this box right here... the Jag is in the garage... then she asked me if i'd like a drink and i said, why not. she told me she'd make a sweet-tart which is like the new cosmopolitan and true to its name, it tasted exactly like a sweet-tart. and she kept filling my glass. and telling me how this is going to be five days of being drunk!

so i will be sleeping for the next five nights in their guest bed. which is very comfortable. not as cozy as my own bed (no down comforter beneath the duvet), but it will do seeing as i do not have to use a space heater to keep from freezing to death.

yesterday at lunch i mentioned to Mr P that a girl had asked me what does horny mean? i couldn't think of how to answer her, so i told her i would think about it and tell her later. fortunately she didn't ask again. see, i could have told her to ask her parents, but she is in the bilingual class and it's not very likely that her parents would know what it means either.

then Mr P tells us about this one first-grader. apparently he was on the playground with his head down kind of hiding from everyone. Mr P goes over to him and asks him what's wrong. my penis isn't straight! he says. Mr P walks him to the bathroom and lets the kid sort out his business on his own. this morning we hear from one of the aides that this same boy had said something else to his teacher... i can't get it to go down!!! he had complained to his teacher, who then sent him to the nurse.


so that is what's going on up till wednesday. i was feeling fine monday and tuesday but today, it might have been the bottomless cocktail but i am exhausted and depressed. i didn't even stay up that late! i am hoping a workout might cure all this? we shall find out.
