We’ll live to survive our paradoxes

Posted on by Shawshank

It’s bright and sunny out. The birds are chirping. That means it’s a weekday. Probably Thursday, if my internal clock is correct. I had a pretty good sleep last night. Warm and snuggly.

Did you know that TinyTown has a door to door fish salesman? I sure didn’t. But I found out when my door bell rang last night. And a random guy, not even in a suit, asked if I wanted to buy some fish. I politely declined. I not interested in black market fish. I texted my mom and she said he’d already been to her place.

2 more days of work, and then it’ll be the weekend. I can’t wait. It’s been a long week so far. Slow and long. That’s ok every once in a while it’s good to have a slow week. It’s good because, you can catch up on the work that’s fallen aside. I plan on working on the inventory system.

But right now, it’s coffee time. So let’s get up and attem. Happy Thursday y’all!

Took a look around, see which way the wind blow

What is this I see? Sun? What’s that? I’m totally not used to it being so bright outside.

Well, it’s Wednesday. Half way through the week. Also something is actually happening in TinyTown today – I have someone coming to look at the washer today. My landlord texted me, and with my permission the caretaker will be letting someone in around three today. Hopefully the washer is just a quick fix. Course, I’m hoping that it will need to be replaced, and I’ll get a brand new washer and dryer. But we’ll see.

I think I’ll cut this short, because coffee is ready, and I don’t really have anything else to say. I hope all y’all have a great day. Let’s get this day started!

And, boom goes the dynamite.

Awake. From the looks of my bed, I was a tossy turny boy last night. I mean it was a good sleep, I think, but still. Only up a couple of times in the night.

Yesterday was pretty uneventful. In the Morning I went over to Shady Acres to do a load of laundry, and I stayed for lunch. My mom persuaded me with bacon. And waffles. I’m pretty sure I only stayed for the bacon.

After lunch I came home and just watched Lethal Weapon all day. I’m almost through the first season. It’s a pretty good, no think tv show.

Today, is back to work. It’s not my long week, but it’s going to feel like it is. In exactly 7 days it’s my birthday. I’m not looking forward to it. But it is what it is.

Ok, like Crystal says, it’s time to assume human form. That’s right, it’s time for coffee. I hope y’all have a good Tuesday.

Good morning y’all. I opened the blinds this morning, and it’s bright and sunny out. Windy, but sunny. The coffee is brewing and before I get my cup of coffee, I’ll strip my bed and get it ready to take up to Shady Acres to wash.

Yesterday was a long day, but a pretty good day. Left the house shortly after 9am, and didn’t get back to the flat until 7 or 7:30 at night. We only went to a couple stores, but it was still good – look for a book haul post coming sometime today!

Wow, I must still be half asleep, I have no words in my head to write down here. It was a good day. I chatted with Crystal, and pretty much went to bed, and fell asleep very quickly, but I think I was a little tossy turny. It was still a pretty good sleep.

Let’s see what today brings!

Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY! Amirite? I’m going to sound like a broken record, but it’s a grey, breezy day out there. But it seems like it’ll be a good day for a drive to CapitalCity.

The coffee is brewing and my parents should be picking me up in about 2 hours. I say should be, because we never actually leave when they say we’re going to.

Since the plan was to leave this morning and be gone pretty much all day, I did my laundry yesterday after work. One load went fine. Then on the second, during the spin and drain, something terrible happened; buzzing noise, and then nothing. I contacted the landlord. I pulled all the clothes out of the cold water, and hand wrung them and put them in the dryer.

It’s a long weekend, and I don’t know when it’ll be fixed. But it’ll get fixed. I was pissed and frustrated. Then I had an epiphany. I’m not an owner, I’m a renter. It’s not up to me to pay for a new one.

My mom says I can bring laundry up to ShadyAcres. It’s not ideal, but it’s better than the alternative – not having access to a washer.

Ok, I’ve rambled enough, and the coffee is ready. Chit chat later. Enjoy your day!
