It’s been a lazy day here at Shady Acres. Well, it really hasn’t. But it feels like it. I haven’t cleaned or organized anything today, haha. But I have done things! Really I have!

  • I applied for my health card.
  • I donated books to the library.
  • I dropped stuff off at the second hand store. (forgetting things at home)
  • I made a second trip to the second hand store.
  • I have a bit of a plan to move the bookcase of DVDs downstairs.
  • I’ve watched too many hours of ‘Roadkill’ on Discovery Velocity.

So now I’ve been mentally planning on where I’m going to move the DVDs to down there. The wall I want to use needs to be cleaned up a little. I’ll do that sometime next week.

Saturday, we’ll be heading into AnotherSlightlyBiggerTown to get wood pellets for my parents pellet stove. I think they’re getting 3 pallets. I don’t know how many are on the pallet, but I’ll be moving most of them, because my dad is farming and is really busy with harvest right meow. It’ll be arm and leg day as I take the bags downstairs, one 50lb bag at a time! Woot! I’ll be useful!

No speed limit… this is the fast lane

What a wonderful afternoon! Quiet. No noise other than a fan going. My mom had to pick up some parts for my dad in the SlightlyBiggerTowns and asked if I wanted to come for a drive. I declined. All. Alone.

It’s nice to just be alone. I ate lunch, and then, because I can, took a shower. I didn’t have to ask if anyone needed to use the bathroom, nothing. I walked, naked, from my room to the bathroom. Then when I was finished, naked from the bathroom to my bedroom.

Glorious.

I didn’t have to say where I was going, when I went to the second hand store. Just popped my headphones in, cranked some tunes, and went for a walk.

Now, I have some water, and I’m going to read ‘Ship of Theseus’ for a while, until my mom and gramma get back. What a wonderful afternoon!

I tried to find them, but they disappeared

I have no idea what’s going on. And I like it.

So far from what I can gather, there’s a pretty neat story in here. It’s about a guy with no memory of who he is, gets kidnapped, and awakens on a ship. That’s as far as I got on the main story – Ship of Theseus

Then, there’s the story in the margin. Jen and Eric. BRING ON ALL THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES!

I did start to read this outside while Shady Acres has their afternoon nap. I think I was out there for maybe (at the most) 20 minutes. Then the neighbours came outside with screeching children and bubbles. Nuf said. So I want in, and read on my bed.

It’s actually not hard to read at all. Only once, I found myself reading the main story, so I had to go back and read the margins.

There’s no pain and there’s no doubt

Awake! Oh, it was nice and cool again last night. Still, I slept mostly on top the blankets. Coffee is the name of the game right now, and let me tell you, this coffee is good. But it’s nice and sunny, and looks like it’ll be a nice day here today.

I managed to mow the lawn yesterday. I did all the edging then ran the ride on back and forth over the yard twice, to make it look nice and uniform. So it should be good for a couple of weeks now.

Other than that, I have some German lessons, and definitely will be going outside to finally start the book. It’s been calling to me!

The contest is still going on for the music lyrics. Just leave a comment on the post with your answer. May the odds ever be in your favour!

Also, head over to chicky.blog and click the coffee cup. Tell em Shawshank sent ya!
