By the way...

By the way, I never did call Maria. I will someday, not very far from now. I will venture outside again, and I am well aware that I had said I’d go out. It wasn’t long after I wrote it that I realized I wouldn’t. I spoke to Isabel on the phone. I was at work; she had just gotten back from work. It was a gorgeous night out, and as I exited the building, I walked towards the bus stop because at that very moment the bus happened to pull over, just as I was absent-mindedly checking out these oriental girls. I took the bus to the train station like I only have done twice before. At work, I had the opportunity to apply to several programs that offer college courses online. I had pleased my bosses, I had helped my coworkers, I had done my rounds and I had clothes and money to go out. It’s not that I regret it. Over the course of this week, I will make enough money. Certain essential home items will be acquired. Now it’s time to get back to leisure.
