Returning for a day to the land of trees
Imma married with children. Once a year my wife takes the kids to her mothers for a week, so I get to be drunk and play video games, BUT... The nice (and I must admit uber hot) dressmaker next door to where I work gave me a little bag of tree in appreciation for the little things I've done for her as a good business neighbour (snow removal, helping her clear out a storeroom etc.). So for the next 24 hours I get to return to the forest for the first time in five years. AWWWWWWWWWW YEAHHHHHHHHHH!
Pointless post I admit, but I got noone else to tell :p.
Edit: 9 hours later...
So tired. Ate a whole box of bretton stone ground wheat crackers with cream cheese, smoked oysters and hot pepper rings on them. Never did end up playing Bioshock, just wandered around reddit and played a couple of runs of 'Rouge Survivor'.
Edit 2: The wife stayed another two days, so I stayed in the forest. Got to work the next day with little branches and twigs hanging from my shoulders, but not carrying a tree. Did the hour of work that I normally do at my first job then the head chef asked me to cover cold side for the six hour shift because the scheduled pereon had not shown up. I'd worked there as prep/dish part time for for 5 years before they made me maintenance manager for the three bars, so I at least knew thexingredients for most dishes, and any 37 year old knows how to cook diner food. So I got the spend a mellow day making people toast and salads. Then I went next door to my second job, 6 hours behind on my day and cleaned the bar. When I was finished I walked outside into a tree. I was finishing my pop when I heard banging on the door - and ended up still there at 10pm because the shift manager was late and being a keyholder I couldnt leave the bar once the night shift started showing up; meh, got paid and had time for a couple of shots of jager. Home then to procrastinate doing the cleaning before my wife gets home.
Then this morning I worked 11 to 130, walked into a tree, and now I have 2 hours to clean the whole apartment and try and get out to do laundry before my wife and kids return. Gonna put on my Ministry discography and power through, wish me luck. See y'all next time.
