The Scarlet Red Sunset

I skipped writing last night, but it was for a worthy cause. I'll get into that a little more later, but first I'll get caught up on what life looked like yesterday. I was off, so Snookums and I got to hang out with each other. A rare occurrence, indeed.

Snookums has had his heart set on a riding lawn mower since last summer. Mary has done something to Dennis's, and that's what we've always used to keep the grounds livable. Since it's been broken we've been dealing with rodent infestations, fleas, and just a generally untidy living environment. Unfortunately, we couldn't find one that wasn't over a thousand dollars. I don't know why for some reason I thought you could get one for less. Maybe $600. Snookums thought the same... we were wrong. So, I don't know if a riding mower will be happening for us. David (or neighbor) said it's fine if we borrow his, but Snookums pride doesn't allow for him to easily just borrow the doctor next door's mower. Ultimately, I just want to not feel like we're living in an overgrown jungle. I don't enjoy it.

After giving up on finding a mower, Snookums and I took a little road trip to Tacoma. We went to the mall to look for shoes for Snookums, and to hit up some stores we don't have in our mall. I stocked up on more LUSH bath bombs, and a really luscious face serum bar (called Saved By Grace). It's amazing, but I digress... We never did find shoes for Snookums. He was either being too damn picky, or they didn't have his size. So we came home.

Dad, the kids and I went for a walk down to Kitsap Memorial, and I captured the most beautiful picture of the scarlet red sunset. It was quite possibly one of the most beautiful sunsets I've seen. It was definitely one of the best I've seen there.

Okay, so the reason I didn't write last night, was because the time I usually would have spent writing, I instead spent on the phone with a friend. His name is Kevin. I met him online. Facebook to be precise. He's incredibly educated about veganism, intersectional issues, feminism, black issues, you name it. Incredibly socially conscious. So, when he asked me to lend a listening ear, I was almost honored that he thought highly enough of me to want to share his problems with me. We talked for almost two hours. Well, he didn't most of the talking. I listened, but I was able to give him a female perspective, and we got to know each other a little better. He is solid people. I enjoyed our conversation very much. It was really nice connecting with him on such an intimate level. I don't feel like I have too many friendships like that. Just Gen, really. T'onna in the past, but now I rarely ever see or talk to her. She's busy with her babies. Rightfully so.

Today has been a run of the mill kind of day. I had a short opening shift, then did some shopping. I found Snookums some shoes, which he hasn't said he doesn't like. So that's progress. Then I came home and made fish tacos for dinner. My day in 4 sentences! It was uneventful.

I'm feeling very uncomfortable and agitated right now. Physically, not mentally. I can't get comfortable. My legs are restless, my back hurts, I'm feeling itchy all over. I'm not feeling so good right now. I need to sign off and take my cannabis. I'm in dire need of a good nights sleep. Like you wouldn't believe!
