It does cross active train tracks so an element of safety and awareness is required.

Today I figured out that I can walk to my favorite park from my house through a secret back path we discovered over the weekend. 💪💪

TFW the librarian running your book club is your friend so adds books to the list specifically for you. In this case: the WWE cookbook. 🤣

I went to a friends to water their plants and found an ex-mouse in a trap on the counter. My friend is very lucky I am responsible and love them very much.

Most of my friends are teachers (aka early risers) but my hair looks gooood and I want to go doooo something..... Wwwaaaaaahhhhh

Here’s how effed up grief is. I got rid of a spiralizer that my grandmother bought me. It didn’t work and was too underpowered to actually cut veggies.

Today I see a spiralizer in a shop, and immediately feel guilt and grief. I don’t even want to replace it, but because the thought crossed my mind I’m a horrible grandchild to a dead woman. 😑

I like voice to text a lot. That said, I just got a voicemail transcription that said:

“Hi, Amanda! This is just a reminder that you’ll see death tomorrow at 6:15.”

I wish my diploma came with all these perks: https://xkcd.com/2157/

Y’all tonight I ate tater tots and watched YouTube movie reviews with my friends at their house while petting their dog. We came up with a new band name and made up some parody Star Wars songs.

Being an adult kicks ass sometimes.

My container strawberries are starting to build fruit!

Looking back through old stuff, cleaning out boxes, and remembering little weird pieces of who I am.

Today I remembered: I used to wear black high top Chuck Taylors that I had written David Bowie lyrics on with those elastic-y spiral shoelaces in neon green. Also I liked Latin enough that I asked to take it in summer school. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The first 1/3 of today was tough and emotional, the second 1/3 of today was practical, and this final 1/3 was calm, peaceful, and creative.

That’s too much stuff for one day.

But also I randomly made a really cool wind chime out a bunch of keys and other stuff I’ve collected over the years.

Some day my apartment and my office will be put together and I can get down to the real work of procrastinating from creativity while sitting in my studio.

Trust me to choose the anime where the protagonist dies. Spectacularly poor timing on my part. 😭😭😭

Pardon me while I spend the next 4 hours trying to translate the voice memos I took of him asking questions and me going "I don't understand, can you ask me the question again"

Y'all it got weirder. Nikolai walked away and about 10 minutes later came back and talked to me for another I'm going to say 45 minutes. Me sometimes understanding. He definitely cried at least twice, I think talking about his wife in heaven. Also I think I have a date to talk to him at the same picnic table near the creek tomorrow afternoon at 5.

I guess, we'll just see what happens.

YOOOOOOO! OMG I JUST HAD A RUDIMENTARY CONVERSATION WITH AN OLD RUSSIAN MAN NAMED NIKOLAI WHO APPEARED WHEN I WAS TAKING PHOTOS AT THE WALKING PATH IN THE WOODS.” AND HE CALLED ME A “GOOD AMERICAN” FOR TRYING TO SPEAK/UNDERSTAND.
