The end is nigh!!!
It is 3:00am. Yeah I’m not sleeping, as usual. 4 hours ago (Monday night 11:00pm) I turned off the TV and sat at the workstation with every intention of preparing for some airbrushing.
NAH!!! 2025 starts in 22 hours. I had to ensure I had the new (2025) journal site in correct order. And that’s where I have been for 4 hours.
I got distracted by the web site for the Dromana Tango school. None of my business but I had to stick my thumb in. ‘She’ has big changes for the new year. New venue, new format and new charges. I couldn’t help myself. I spent an hour reviewing her work and then did buggar all ‘cos it’s not my problem.
Bill’s Tango Bajo site and Facebook page is the same. No updates for the new year. No entries for the next Milongas or classes. I had to bite off all my fingers to stop myself writing a stern email to him. Again – none of my effing business.
For the last 48 hours I have watched nothing but Airbrushing YouTubes. I am forcing into my brain by brutal onslaught of repetition. Yesterday (Monday) I was awake at 6:00am. Drugs, coffee, and review of my supply list. At 9:30am I was at the local shopping centre searching for car Window Washing fluid, distilled water, icypole stirring sticks, cotton pads, little plastic bottles, cosmetic cotton pads. I was gonna have brekky at my regular little Italian Café. NAH!!! Been bought by an Asian family. Fuck off.
I settled for a medium cappuccino and a blueberry muffin at the hardware chain store where I bought the distilled water. Back in the cave by 12:30pm. Right chuffed I was. Very pleased to have got the ‘last stuff’ I need for fixing, thinning and mixing the paints.
Top of 23C today. It’s gonna be a good day to spray. I will have fired my gun in anger before the year has ended. PROMISE!!!
Sad thought just occurred. I have no memory of ever being with, hugging and kissing, any special ‘the one’ at the stroke of midnight. That’s a long empty life.
