You worship the sun and you’re aching for change

Posted on by Shawshank

Good morning, happy Saturday. I’m awake, and it’s a beautiful sunny day out there. I’m waiting for my coffee to finish brewing, and I hope Shady Acres stays sleeping for a little while longer.

Lots of things happened over the past two days. Two days ago, I got my health card, and my ID is coming in the mail – it should be here in a couple weeks. Yesterday, I got an awesome package in the mail from Crystal, so I have poi now and will be trying to practice in the afternoons, while Shady Acres has their afternoon naps. I also got the ball rolling on getting my drivers license. Tuesday, I have to go into SlightlyBiggerTown to take my written test. I’ve taken 5 or 6 of their sample tests online, and passed each one. So hopefully the actual test will be a breeze. With any luck, I’ll be driving home at the end of it.

Other than that, TinyTown has been pretty quiet. It was nice out yesterday, so I BBQd some hamburgers, and that’s what we had for dinner last night.

While talking to Crystal, I charged up the poi. So when I chat with her tonight, I ask for her to run through the basics again. They overwhelm me, but I’m going to try to flow with them. I have some basic lessons bookmarked, and I’m going to try not to get discouraged.

But for now, coffee, and weekend morning shows. Have a great Saturday y’all.

You’re spaced out on sensation

Hells yes, it’s finally Friday! Y’all made it, just like I knew y’all would. I’m proud of you, no one got their cars shat on, or in for that matter.

But first, coffee.

I was out like a light last night, and slept all the way through til 7am. I then dozed until my alarm when off. I wish I could sleep like this without the help of sleepy time medication.

My package should be here by the end of the day today. Hopefully, it’ll be ready before they close, and I’ll have it tonight. I’m excited, but I’ll never be as good as Crystal. But I’ll give it a little try. I don’t know how long I’ll be able to do it here at night, or whenever. It’s getting colder and windier here, but we’ll see for sure.

Here’s day three of the Paris of the Prairies series! Happy Friday!

She whispered in my ear tonight that she really was mine

I woke up to a text message that my package is in BiggerCity, and should technically be here by end of business tomorrow, so I’ll have check the mail later on in the day

I’ve had better sleeps, I should’ve medicated myself a little more, but I’m running low on my cold meds, so I only took one instead of the two that I’ve been taking. So I was up a couple times in the night. Little less restful last night.

It’s time for the new segment around here: THE DAILY TALKING ABOUT MIDNIGHT SUN BECAUSE THATS A HIGH POINT IN MY LIFE BECAUSE NOTHING HAPPENS IN TINYTOWN SO SHARE MY JOY WITH ME!

So reading last night, and I believe it’s just past the crash, and Edward is watching Bella in class, and is day dreaming about backhanding Mike Newton across the classroom. Sorry, it’s funny and I laughed a little.

But seriously, the book is pretty good. Their interactions are exactly or at least very very close to Twilight. I’m really enjoying the book a lot.

I love you, and I miss you so much.

I’m out of coffee.

It’s really gray and chilly feeling outside.

I’ve been up since 7:15, and it’s only 9:46. This day is moving slowly.

I don’t really have anything constructive to write about. I think I just wanted to write something. Yanno? I hope it doesn’t rain today, as after lunch, when Shady Acres is asleep, I like to take a quick walk around TinyTown. And if it’s raining, I won’t be able to do that.

Maybe I’ll start moving the DVDs downstairs today. That’ll give me something to do this afternoon. But then I have to answer the most obvious of questions; “what’re you doing? Why are you doing it?” Just lemme do it you don’t have to question every move I make. Sometimes, I feel a little trapped here.

For example, Sunday, I went into my room, and watched Twilight. I think I made it 45 minutes before I heard a knock at the door. “Are you feeling ok?” Ugh yes I just felt like watching a movie that’s not on tv. And if it was, I’d still be in here watching it, because then I don’t have to answer questions about plot points. Sometimes I just want to be left alone. I’m not in a bad or sad mood. Just want to be alone.

Some times I’m just in a quiet mood, or even craving a cigarette, and instead of being a snappy bastard, I just want to be left alone. But I’m poked, and I know she means well, but I’m not used to being mothered. She doesn’t need to know every time I’m sad, mad, glad. If I’m talkative, I’ll talk.

Stupid weather.

I feel a little better. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. 10:05. 3 pm is a long way away, ain’t it?

I was down at the New Amsterdam

What a long day yesterday. In the truck for about 8.5 hours. That makes for a long day. The part that was supposed to be fixed, couldn’t be, for the price that they were willing to pay, so we brought it back. Frustrating on that end.

Although, I was surprised when, as we were waiting for them to figure out what they were going to do with the part, my mom drove to a book store.

“Go and get your book, the newest one, we’ll use amazon for the others.”

So after that, we’re on our way home. And we’re driving through all these really small little towns. I see a sign,

“That sign just said Eiffel Tower that way…..”

Sure enough, there’s the Eiffel Tower. Of course I get out and take pictures for Crystal. Which, hours and hours later, as she lay in bed, I got her to edit them, as my photoshop decided it didn’t want to play well with me. I can’t decide which edits I like the best, so over the course of the week, you’ll see them all.
