Roast

The greatest gift is the present.

Today is Chub Creek day. It's the first time I've done a podcast of Chub Creek without Gary being there. I've planned something fairly elaborate, and I've put all this pressure on myself and have been given a load of content from generous people around the world for it. In my mind I was going to wake up early and get right into it, but when I woke today I just wasn't in the mood.

So I cleaned my apartment, I separated and repotted a basket of plants that were given to me by my parents when I moved in here, I ate some chips, I did some laundry.

I still wasn't in the mood.

Then I went grocery shopping and discovered I have a ton of "points" on my debit card that allowed me to get everything for free. That was cool. I went home and remembered that getting a load of groceries sucks when you live in a condo. I had about fifteen bags in one hand, a new roasting pan in the other, and my keys in my teeth.

I unloaded the groceries into the fridge, but I still wasn't into it. The pressure, the pressure.

Then I began preparing a huge roast beef dinner. It's in the oven now, and I'm sitting at my dining table enjoying a Pina Colada and a cigarette. Maybe when the smell of roast beef starts filling the room I'll be into it.

It's all very weird. Podcasting is bizarre. At least I'll have a nice dinner. Maybe I'll be too full and fall asleep and never get the thing done. Then again, maybe it will be the best episode I've done. It's odd not knowing. I was happy to learn that Gary has bought a house. What a strange two weeks for him. First a job, now this...

I feel like podcasting now. Wish me luck.

I'll take a pina colada. Or three. Or five.

Awesome about free groceries. Sucks to carry them all by yourself but I bet the roast was wonderful.

I like how you write about psyching yourself up to do the podcast without Gary. I'm ready to start listening. I'll be downloading the past few podcasts tonight. You'll do great. You'll get in your own groove with it.
