another sleepless night

no real reason to be up, no real want to sleep. i am sure to regret it tomorrow as joshua has asked me to come to the office and work. they hired a new bookkeeper and i am to help her on the finer points of the office. sometimes i wish i could be some dumb trophy wife with no real value other than looking good; then i could claim ignorance on all matters and not be required to help out everytime a new staff member needs to be shown the ropes.
but we have our funding and things will go well for another month.
i just finished yet another tacky novel and have decided to put my mind back to better pursuits with a gabriel garcia marquez and then possibly a henry miller for some excitement. then i can really get into the two political books i picked up yesterday. that first thus of jack kerouac was in great shape, i really should head back and pick it up for todd and make it a nice surprise. for $45 i bet it wont sell tomorrow. my bookstore days were so much fun, now that i look back on them. i chatted with my friends when they stopped by, read whatever i wanted, and learned a great deal about books. i think it may be time to stop back by the oaktree and say hi to old scotty.
