Chad was off yesterday as well as today. I hereby declare today, Tuesday, 17th, 2004 – “My Wednesday”. *I’m getting used to the anti-schedule.

I had to run into town to drop off a proposal and attend to a hot deadline fire for another client which pretty much occupied me for the rest of the work-day.

I did come back to the house to tend to the fire so the guys could have the car to run errands.

One of those errands: Pick up my now expensive prescription refill from Wallgreens.

The guys love Wallgreens for one reason and one reason alone…. They sell zany cheap stuff.

While I’m usually content to browse and giggle about things like the animatronic gorilla in a plastic cage that, when agitated, dances and sings a bad cover of “Ain’t nothing but a hound dog”. The boys, when unsupervised, will buy these things.

It’s this suspended child-like playfulness they possess that keeps me in love and sane most days.

So.. They returned with my $84 bottle of drugs and a small bag full of “Hyper Flex Inside-Out Stretch Balls”

They’re soft, stretchy, reversible silicon balls with spines on one surface. Better description: They’re ridiculous.

They’re also loads of fun when you’re short on NetFlix titles and sitting around socializing with cookies.

I can only assume that these things are a by-product of when bored chemical engineers smoke a lot of pot.

shameless_157 came over with a pack of hot dogs for the grill and stories about her recent antics.

We spent most of the evening playing with those damn stretch balls…

Four dollars well spent I guess,… hardly not blog worthy.
