I'm Just Saying

Today's like the 4th or something, isn't it?
I'm losin' track.
Our garage is flooding. Our windows are leaking. And I'm tired of playdates. No more playdates at our house. I think that might be a new rule for a few weeks. God damn kids. When the hell does school start again. I'm too old for this.
On New Years eve we didn't go anywhere or do anything. We watched the ball drop in NY city at 9pm so the kids could toast their sparkling apple cider and then sent them to bed.
Morgan and I stayed up until Midnight, so that he could try and get into sswco8. He filled out the form and the walked around and mumbled for a while and then walked over to the computer at 2 minutes till and said something about how he was ready to hit submit and send it.

It's too early, I said.
They'll toss it away.
No, it's midnight right now, he said.
No it's not I said.
You have one minute left.
No he said, I'm doing it.
I wouldn't do it yet, I said. All I'm saying is...
I sent it, he said.

I knew it was early, because my watch runs two minutes fast and it said 12:01. So I knew it was only 11:59. And my watch is EXACTLY two minutes fast, timed to the second.
So he sent it a minute too early according to my watch. And today he got the denial, that he was too early.
He can try again next year.
