Airplanes

Now that I work around planes, my ears pick up on the buzz as they fly overhead. "Yesterday I saw a sky crane. Ya it was pretty cool. It's a giant plane but it's missing its middle. A big square emptiness sits where its stomach should." I settle onto my bed, swinging my legs and folding them into a pretzel like bow. "Earlier I was thinking of going shopping but I really don't need the temptation. I mean sure I'm earning money, but my instinct says - hey your poor you can't spend that. At the end of the month your going to be without just you watch - It's annoying." My voice gets flat. "Oh so this girl that I work with? Ya I just found out that she lives down the street from me. I've never seen her before in my life and she lives 5 houses down. It is a strange world." The clock ticks in reply and my cat saunters over, sniffing her now lifeless toy that's sprawled in the middle of my room. "I need to vacuum. I also need to find the cord to my camera so I can get the pictures onto my computer. I also need to eat and go for a bike ride. I am riding a mile a day." My voice lilts proudly. It's not that great of a feat, considering my sister runs more than five miles a day, but I'm really not one to compare myself to others. It is Thursday and it is my weekend. "I don't get another weekend for awhile so I'm going to appreciate it," I smile to myself. "I think I'd better be off for now."
