They’re gonna clean up your looks, with all the lies in the books

Posted on by Shawshank

I have a book haul! Well, a book haul over the last two days. Completionist? Yeah, it’s been picking at me.

When I first got to TinyTown, I found The Lord of the Rings. Cool, I thought. Then a few weeks later, I was in a rush and thought I was picking up book two, when it was really book three. That annoyed me. Like a month or two ago, while in SlightlyBiggerTown, I found book two, but thought, I didn’t need it right away, but if it’s here the next time, I’d pick it up. That went on for weeks. I finally got it today. Set completed.

I’ve been searching for this one for a while. Like I told my mom, this will be good (set completed) until I can buy it so it matches the other ones in the set. Now, finally, I can read the whole saga again. Woot! Lmao now the mission is to find all the mass market paperbacks for the saga! Oh my god, what have I started?

This one is for Crystal. I know how much she loves this series, I saw it at the end of last week. I asked her if she wanted me to get it. She said not to worry about it, but you should’ve seen her eyes light up when I showed it to her last night. It made my whole week to see her happy with it. Now, another series to find all the books for her! Granted, I’ll probably read it too.

Awake! I have coffee, and I’m ready to greet the day! It’s Friday, and probably in a few hours, we’ll be heading to SlightlyBiggerTown for the weekly grocery trip. So far (knocks on wood), I’m the only one awake.

So we’ll see what time we actually leave. My mom told my grandmother, that we’ll leave when everyone is ready, around 9:30-10.

I’ve been thinking about it, and if the second hand store is open, I’m going to go and get the Two Towers – I’m really trying not to be a completionist, it’s just annoying me to see book one, and book three on the shelf.

I can’t think of anything else to share right now. It’s almost time to start the weekend everyone! Only a couple more hours!

All I want is to see you smile

It’s almost Pre-Friday! Which means it’s almost Saturday, and you know what that means! It’s almost Sunday afternoon! Woohoo! The weekend is almost over! I hope it was a good weekend for you, now get back to work!

I don’t really think I moved last night whilst I was in my slumber. I think I dreamed last night, I’m not sure, but I think I remember something about vampires, course that could’ve just been about the book I was reading before I went to bed.

I think that’s about it. It’s Thursday, so that means the second hand store is open, so I might go there for a little while. We’ll see though. It looks like it’ll be a pretty nice day out there. Big puffy Simpson’s clouds right now.

Happy Thursday, you’re almost to the weekend, you can make it. I love you.

I’d encourage your smiles, I’ll expect you won’t cry

We mustn’t dwell. No, not today. We can’t! Not on Rex Manning day!

Now listen, I know it’s not actually Rex Manning day today. But whenever I feel a little down, I make believe it is Rex Manning day, and I feel better. If I knew how to post YouTube videos here, you’d probably be watching Rex’s video here. But I don’t, so go and watch it. You’ll feel better, I promise.

So throw on the black dress and mix in with the lot

It’s always hard writing this as I wake up, plus it’s getting harder and harder to think of things to write about when nothing really happens here.

Lots of change happening back home, the house is really starting to empty out. Even more so in a couple of days. Soon Crystal will be packing up the SUV and heading south until the border open up. If I’m being honest, this scares me a lot. I mean it’s the opposite way to get here. I’m also afraid that her family down there will start as soon as she gets there with the “why do you wanna go north? What’s the point if it? Just stay here, it’ll be better!” I know they won’t do that, but it still scares me. There, it’s not a Wednesday morning without tears in your eyes to start the day.

That damn coffee should be ready by now.

I’m just very scared. I try not to think about more than a couple days into the future, because I just break down. I miss her so much. Every morning, for a split second, it feels like she’s next to me. Then I move to shut the alarm off, and I’m alone in the bed. That’s how I start every day.

Contrary to what you just read, I had a good sleep, and I’m feeling ok today. I had some dreams, but I don’t remember them, so they must mot have been too good. Happy Wednesday everyone! Enjoy your hump day 🙂

I love you and I miss you so much.
