They found armour in my belly

Shawshank, July 29, 2020July 29, 2020
Tinytown has been busy, at least on my street. Here's the run down:
– satellite was down. Needed a new lmb. Got that. Upstairs is working. One of the cables going downstairs broke. Dad thinks someone came by and ripped it apart. I think the cable is just old and fell apart. Agree to disagree. Going to town later to get more parts. 
– moved the living room around this morning. BEFORE my coffee. Pulled out all the DVDs and cleaned and dusted. Had two cats helping/supervising. Floors cleaned. Nicnacks dusted. 
– grocery shopping this afternoon. Because we have to get connectors for the cables. I now know where I get my obsessive qualities. If we didn't go in dad would take time off of work to get the pieces himself. The plan was to go grocery shopping Thursday. 
– after groceries, I plan on mowing the lawn. “It needs to be done again?!” Mom asked. Yeah it should be done once a week. It's pretty tall in the back. 
– got a library card yesterday. The library is tiny. Maybe 10×10. But it's cute and the town couldn't really support anything bigger. 
– dropped stuff off at the second hand store. Some of moms crafting books she didn't want any more. And one shirt of my grandfathers. Picked up “N0S4A2” by Joe Hill for .50c
– tomorrow I'll be sneaking some of my dads DVDs and books to the second hand store. He's a borderline hoarder. Mom thinks it's because he never really had anything as a kid. Case in point: for 30 years he's been carting around VHS movies. He never watches them – he's moved on to DVDs and Blu-Ray. But refuses to get rid of them. 

– watched two kids walk around a ride on lawn mower like it was a classic sports car. Afterwards he drove it around the town, and then into the car wash to power wash it. The amount of people that just tool around on ride ons or hoverrounds here is astonishing!
I think that's about all that's happened this week. Oh, Friday we have to take my gramma to the doctor. Just a 3 month check up for her meds. Fun fun.

In your heart I see the start of every night and every day

I awoke with a start at 6:27 am, when I heard a door slam. Then I just told myself it was my neighbour heading to work. that calmed me down enough to fall asleep again. I awoke with a start when my alarm woke me up at 7:01. It felt…

Well, I was down at a local beer joint with a few of the guys when this cute little country girl caught my eye

I think I’m getting used to Podrick’s antic in the mornings. Mostly. It was around 6:30 when I finally had enough of a 20lb cat either bouncing across my chest, or bruise inducing feet marching across my legs. But we’re all up, and I have Pippin relaxing on my lap….

See that? That’s my little patch of grass. I’ve been watering this little patch of grass for a few days. I think it’s rained maybe 3 times since June. We’re in a drought. But thankfully, it rained here last night. In fact, it’s supposed to rain pretty much all day….
