Chapter 55
If you don’t eat your meat you can’t have any pudding, how can you have any pudding, if you don’t eat your meat?

It would make sense that when you leave Point A headed west to get to Point B that to return on the same path back to Point A you would head east. Is this wrong? Am I in a daze and have convinced myself of a fallacy?
This morning I went to my training meeting for my job where I will be an assistant in a classroom working one on one with an autistic boy. I took 64 West to 295 and then took the right exit to get to the school. So when I left there (planning to write about different topics in today’s chapter) I thought that back tracking would be the way to go. Just do go in the opposite direction that you were headed in to return back home. It makes perfect sense to me and I am still wondering if I am completely wrong about this. So I get back on 295 and head towards 64 East. I chose to go east to get back to Richmond, since I went west to get away from Richmond. Well when I enter on 64 West nothing really looks familiar but I figure it will begin to, and then I start seeing mileage for Williamsburg and Norfolk. All I really know about these places is that they are both far from home, further than I want to be and I am not far from them now. So I turn around still wondering why in the world I would have to take west to get back east, because heaven forbid that you take 64 East to return back east from the west! So I keep driving down 64 West headed towards Richmond and I see the skyline.
Just so you may understand my frustration seeing the skyline of Richmond, I live on the west side of Richmond, so if I am headed west, and I see the skyline getting ever closer, that means that I am on the east side of Richmond. How the hell did I get on the east side of Richmond when to start off this morning I headed out further west? Further more, how did 295 get me past the city of Richmond without even realizing it? How did I circumvent the city? It’s a pretty big thing, and seeing as how I left the city…I don’t even know. It’s just frustrating me. The closer I got to home the more pissed off I became because I was coming upon home 50 minutes after I left the school. It only took me 15 to 20 minutes to get there in the first place! I don’t know if I was becoming more upset because I was hungry, and had been for a while, or because I had to pee and the pressure was building and you’ve got to let it out somehow other than peeing your pants. Or maybe it was that I hadn’t slept well last night. It could of course be drawing from the fact that I should have been able to take 64 East to get home because I took west to get away from it, I mean, that’s logical. So now I am eating graham crackers because I am an emotional eater which is probably the unhealthiest lunch I could have grabbed, but they were there and I was here spewing about how dumb my afternoon has been. I’m sitting here trying to think of how in the world I can leave the school and get home without having to go through Richmond, since I didn’t have to go through Richmond to get to the school.
AUGH !
