Day Twenty-Two – It’s Nothing Day!
Posted by RobinNov 22
That’s right. I have nothing to report. Today’s big news: my chest phlegm has loosened, thus meaning I won’t even have my cold to blog about for much longer. Which is fine. I’m sick of it.
Today I:
- drank a lot of Emergen-C. At this point I’ve developed a taste for it and I think I’m doing shots of it for fun. You know what would make it really good? Vodka.
- cleaned, although it’s not obvious. We’ve been swimming in clutter, which makes me nuts. That British guy who kicks cluttered people’s asses on Oprah was supposed to email me this week and tell me how to fix the clutter, but he didn’t. Probably because his inbox is a fucking disaster.
- napped. I can’t decide if the napping is just good, smart business or some very quiet cry for help. Or not so quiet. Brian told me I’ve been snoring. Damn cold.
- helped Clara Jane with her homework. Her class is having a friendship party on Tuesday, and we had to write one nice thing about her classmates. This gives me something new to neuroticize. For the boys, she mostly said that she likes playing chase with them. With the girls, she complimented clothes and hair. She also called three girls her best friend, which is going to cause a massive shit storm at some point in her life. I predict fifth grade, because that’s when the best friend loyalty shit really goes down.
- made up the word neuroticize. I love it!
- was drafted to put Clara Jane to bed, which I should be doing now.
- Provided a voice for Chloe, the bird-mangling, raw pasta-eating basset hound. She and Clara Jane conversed for about fifteen minutes.
- got in trouble for playing my music too loud and singing. I couldn’t help it! The Underground Garage played Roll Over Beethoven and Tell Him back-to-back. Granted, it’s a little embarrassing that I was lectured by my four-year-old for playing my music too loud, and for my provocative dance moves. She’s so square.

With the loud music and the dance moves, you remind me of my dad. Thanks to him, I only listen to tunage at top volume and dance like a moron. Hence, the Michael Jackson dance-off at my wedding.

drank a lot of Emergen-C.
I love this stuff. I’m not sure it’s cured any colds, but it’s like Tang for the Whole Foods set.

Good job of keeping with the write each day thing. I admire you. I got pissed when they could not seem to get me on the participation list, so I stopped for a few days. I sure showed them didn’t I?
And your music was not too loud; I did not hear it in Asheville.

Don’t worry about Clara Jane and the “best friends”… she sounds like she’s gonna end up like me: best friends are all guys, and can’t keep a close girl friend for more than a year. It’s so much nicer this way!
