  • treat yourself to a nice dinner
  • enjoy a big glass of wine
  • listen to your favorite song
  • dance like nobody’s watching
  • realize your neighbor across the street is watching
  • quickly shut the blinds and put your clothes back on
  • figure the damage is done so you might as well leave your pants off
  • pour another glass of wine
  • imagine your smug neighbor telling his wife about what he just saw
  • hope their marriage fails
  • remember tonight is about you
  • relax and get comfy
  • top off your wine glass
  • search for your favorite movie on Netflix
  • wonder how the fuck they don’t have Uncle Buck available to stream
  • realize you haven’t left the house or spoken to another human being all day

  • read too much into the clerk’s “great choice” comment
  • sense a real connection there

  • head for the bus stop
  • pop into a nearby liquor store for a fresh bottle of wine
  • see that a box is not only cheaper per ounce but has a handle to carry it with

  • finally see the bus
  • be told by the driver that you must be wearing pants in order to ride

  • decide that no, you’re not gonna cry
  • stand up on your cot and begin loudly singing “Not Gon’ Cry” by Mary J. Blige, from the Waiting To Exhale soundtrack
  • dance like no one is watching
  • notice that several of the guards are watching and also screaming at you to get down
  • tell them that you’re through with shame and that tonight is all about joy
