well then
yesterday, i decided that i wanted some raspberries. so i went to this place way out m43 and its a motocycle shop in the middle of nowhere, with a raspberry field behind it and you can pick your own for really really cheap. so i picked a bunch os raspberries, and ate a bunch,a nd it was awesome, and i went back into the shop to pay the dude for my berries, and he said "oh, and im going to fill up your tire for you before you leave" and i was like "hunh?"
turns out i had a nail in one of my back tires, and it was TOTALLY flat. so he filled it up for me and gave me his number in case it went flat again on my way to the tire place he would come help me... so i got back to ninth street and the closest thing was a belle tire. i needed to get some groceries and it was right by meijer so i figured it would be fine. they said it would take 45 min to patch it for me so i walked over to the store to buy the last few things i needed for homeade pasta sauce. i got back to belle tire 50 minutes later and they had JUST put my car up in the lift. by this time it was really hot and i was beginning to be a little cranky....
then nick (really hot dude thats sort of a jerk, who i made out with a couple times four years ago...) came out from the back. turns out he works there. he got them to finish it in ten minutes, and then when i had to wait in line to pay, he handed my keys and told me i was set to go and took care of it so i didnt have to pay. that was pretty awesome, cuz i am really hurting for money right now, and while it seems like pennies to a normal person, that $20 wouls have been a lot for me to part with this week.
so i went home, cleaned my apartment a bit, did some dishes, and got a call for a random spur of the minute interview to work for another family sporadically. they liked me and hired me right away, and i got home just in time to start makin sauce. my dads garden has gotten amazing and he sent me home with literally 23 pounds of tomatoes the other day, so i made a really awesome homeade pasta sauce and nathan and erin came over for dinner. the house STILL smells good.
like more than half of the city lost power, and i really wanted to go to oduffys last night. so we tried to risk it after dinner, and the entire student ghetto was out EXCEPT oduffys and like two houses on either side of it. it was like magic. so i got to cool off and have a few drinks with friends and it felt really good and i was really happy about it.
had a mellow day today. didnt do a whole lot. worked on some stuff for my show. read a little. checked the mail again even though none of the books have come. worked for four hours and came home with $40.
and now I'm ending my day with chocolate cake and pink lemonade. and im a little bit lonely, but mostly I'm just happy to be alive.
