Couch Surfing part deux

February 11, 2009

-one blow up mattress -one pillow, 3 small blankets -one toothbrush, one tube of toothpaste, one small “dirty laundry” bag, one pair of clean socks and underwear. In the fridge, I have a bag of Spinach, a botttle of dressing, some yogurts, and then also a container from Trader Joes of chocolate covered raisins, in which the maximum “pull” is 4 pieces, three times a day. These are the items i have in my hostess’ place, if you were to take a random snapshot each day. in the trunk of the car, i have a basket with clean laundry, so as i walk out to my car in the am with my clean socks and underwear on and intact, of course combined with a pair of G Star jeans, i open the trunk, put on deodorant, put on a button up shirt, and grab a bottle of water for the drive to work. As i start my drive, i reach into the stocked (almost fully) console where i grab a Cliff Bar, in addition to the multi vitamins i have in my backpocket. this is the procedure, and has been for the past three weeks, with a surprisingly consistent flow.  its all about keeping it slim at this point. especially for my gracious hostess, LH. She has introduced me to something i almost forgot the joys of: television! The shows, like Real Housewives of Orange County, The Bachelor, Greys Anatomy, For the Love of Ray Jay, and all others are entertaining for sure.

- to thanks non verbally, I do random chores. taking out trash, kitchen bathroom. clean sinks. Shake rug. And finally, when i move on, I shall leave a little dough. also bought some flowers for the hostess.
