You make me holler woah woah woah

Posted on by Shawshank

Good morning to you, and you, and you. It’s a froggy day here in TinyTown. And so far the plan is for my mom and gramma to start canning 50lbs of tomatoes, which I’ll try and get some pictures of that. Then they’ll be going to SlightlyBiggerTown to get my moms meds, and I’ll be hanging back to finally mow the lawn. I better mow today, I’ve been trying to do it for 3 days.

But right now, its coffee and home improvement shows. I watch these shows and think “I can totally do that.”, then you put the tool in my hand. And it’s a tool holding a tool! Ha

I’ve done a couple of German lessons, and as if writing this, I’m number one in the bronze league. But like I just told Crystal, bronze league is like; congratulations, you know how to tie your shoes! I’m having fun, but who knows if it’s sinking in.

I passed right out last night. No weird dreams that I can remember, only up a few times to pee, and I actually climbed under the blankets for the last couple hours. Maybe tonight, I’ll be able to dive into ‘Ship of Theseus’

It’s day 3, I believe of guess the lyrics in the title. Ima need answers including song and band in the comments. Good luck!

Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day, everyone!  This is my first Canada Day in Canada in about 19 years, I believe. I don’t know what’s going to happen in Tiny Town, or even here at Shady Acres. The weather outlook isn’t all that great. Thunder and lightning are expected. (I’m writing this a day early, and tonight, we’re expecting hail, lots of rain, and possibly tornados.) Everyone, everywhere always says if you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes. Here, that’s also true. It was drizzling while I was out, and now I just heard thunder. 

I think that’s all I have to say right now. I’m still getting used to thinking about, and then putting it into words. 

Happy Canada Day!

Finally, a happy update!

Until I can get some time this weekend, so that The Editor can help me login so I can post myself I resort to emailing posts. I got a phone on Monday, my dad is lending me his old phone. He still has it, because he’s pretty much a low key hoarder. He has a wall of VHS tapes that he’s been moving for about 30 years. Still has a VCR too. But, I digress. Back to this sweet phone, it’s an iPhone 5 running, I think, iOS 5 or 6. But it does what I need it to do, and a little more. By little more, I can run Netflix, which means on the lowest setting Netflix has (4 hours will cost me about a gig of data), means that I can watch the third series of Dark. I just did a quick test, and I can watch and read the subtitles not too badly. I took two screen shots too

The town is really cute. There’s an air raid siren that blasts at noon. No one tolde about this, and I thought we were being invaded! No one paid any attention to it. 

Today I started the yard work. I pulled weeds, and weed whacked the front and side yard, and around the planters my mom has. Tomorrow after my run, I’ll be working on the back yard. Then I’ll be spraying roundup on all the weeds. Last weekend my dad and I thought we fixed the leaking water tank on his trailer. Well, it’s still leaking, so I figure we’ll be under it this weekend too.

It feels good to be doing stuff again.

At 6pm, this town rolls up its sidewalks and EVERYTHING closes. I have been having a blast wandering around town taking pictures. I’m sure the whole town knows I’m here now. It’s that small. If you’re looking for a stop light, ya better find another town. But let me tell you, I think this town could use a bakery/coffee shop. Badly. Looking into home based businesses we could have a home based slaughterhouse. Crazy huh? 

Ok time to end this post (written entirely on an iPhone 5), my meds are kicking in, and no one else is gonna do my run.

I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.
