Taco way of life.
I still have a lingering cough. The girl is acquiring more and more rodents. We’re lazy about doing the dishes and taking out the trash. I have laundry from last week which needs to be put away. Our cats are adorable. The heat wave was rather enjoyable, despite the dripping sweat. We’ve finished Next Generation and have started DS9. I’ve been planning my birthday festivities. Which just means picking a place, as we do the same stuff every year. I’m hungry, so hungry, I want tacos.
I’m happy to report I’ve successfully befriended Elissa, a minor under my command. I’ve been going slow. You can’t just walk up to someone and say, “I think you’re pretty awesome. I see some facets of myself in you. Would you like a mentor?” The phrase “conflict of interest” has been foremost on my mind. Nonetheless, it’s not like I’m some creepo. I’m awesome, and if I can make a difference in someone’s life, I will. I remember a time when I had nobody. I also remember all those who have shown confidence in me over the years. Sometimes, someone telling you, “Hey, you’re awesome” can make the world of a difference.
Otherwise, life is business as usual. I’m on my second summer class, and can’t wait for it to be over. Work is work, but I’m like a boss.
The most recent rodent acquisition is a little white rat which I’ve dubbed Apollo Creed. And by some stretch of the imagination, he’s grown on me. He fell asleep in my pocket last night. Come on, massive AWWWS. I’ve told her HONEY, STOP GOING TO PET STORES. I’m not actually mad, I just don’t want her to become even more of a crazy rat lady.
Tacos. TACOS. I better hit a grocery store soon.
I wish someone who truly cared about my well-being had befriended and mentored me when I was a teenager. Someone who was non-judgmental and supportive of my dreams and goals. I think my life path would have possibly been altered… the beginning of my young adult years were filled with abuse, neglect, and heartache. Certainly not a start in life I’d wish on anyone.

At first I thought the rodent accumulation and the “lazy about taking out trash” comments were related. And one falling asleep in your pocket gave me the wiggins. But PETS… that’s different. Okay, now I’ll “awwwww”

Not stupid! I didn’t know until I started doing it last month. You walk in and the bartender knows your name, and as regulars come in over the evening you all say hi, there’s alwaysalways someone to talk to about life or books or play games with, and at the end of the night your bill is less than 1/2 what it should be so you tip 100%. If I didn’t show up for a couple weeks, I feel certain that

they would wonder where I was, and that is a good feeling when you’re in a town where no one knows you exist. It helps that it’s a quiet bar, not a lot of bros or girls trying to get laid, and the bartender isn’t drinking so he doesn’t care if we drink, and movie night is stuff like Galaxy Quest and Monty Python.
