Letters from Washburn Road # 11

I still have to finish cleaning up my blog. There was a signup for overtime that came through, but I missed it by two hours. This has happened a few times, but, I guess it's not as important as it used to be. I mean, I guess I don't need the overtime money as much as I used to. Well, that's not really true. I always need the overtime money as long as I have bills to pay.

...

I haven't had a phone break in a while, but a few hours ago I dropped my phone and the screen cracked. This is a headache.

Tesco # 91

Bananas

they go and then
they sell the best of the oranges
and the strawberries

cannot be more than the blueberries
there were more blueberries

muffins were made as a result.

There have been issues before with posting pictures to my blog where, the sizing is all messed up, and the picture spills out into the left column.

Reflection # 83

still deleting old files
from my Google Drive
and cleaning things out

i want to upload some pictures
and upload some old text files
too

i think the bulk of what i
have there on my Google Drive
are music files i saved
when deleting everything
on my computer

i uploaded all of my
stuff and wiped my drive
clean

...

but when you call
where I am 
you forgot 
to enter an area code
and so the call when to 
someone with that number
in the local area and you spoke
to someone else.

Some of the oranges and some
of the lemons
and some of the limes
have been sold to the citrus cartels

and they have juiced them
and then they have sold he juice
to the juice cartels

and then they have mixed the juice with
soda water.

...

I have to go through a number of older, flagged posts and clean up my blog because it has been demonetized.

Five of the oranges
and three of the lemons and
two of the bergamots are

needed for the recipe and then
you need to juice them
and then you need to mix
the juice

Sometimes I buy snacks at work thinking that it will improve my mood or stave off dipping into a bad mood, but it never does, and I think that I'll just sort of stop doing it.

I was thinking back to my February 2022 to Louisiana road trip, and how, shortly after returning to Dallas-Fort Worth I came across an older blog post of mine with a crude sketch of a planned road trip to Louisiana I ended up going in the opposite direction. I planned on heading to San Antonio, then New Orleans, then Shreveport, then back to Dallas. Instead I went to Shreveport, New Orleans, San Antonio, then Dallas.
...

Somewhere in the back of my mind the idea of driving to Alaska something I still think about. This isn't something that I can do any time soon. I have to get through tax season, and then pay off all of my credit cards, which will take me through July 2023, at the absolute soonest.

I was trying to think back to when I came back to Las Vegas, and it was early October. During my road trips I started smoking cigarettes again because it's easier to do so while driving, but it's expensive, so I switched back. I started making my own cigarettes again, and adding ground cloves to the tobacco. I came across clove cigars on my road trips, and I remembered smoking them back when I was at Evergreen, but I never really smoked them with any regularity.

I continue to feel really tired, but less moody than I have been over the last few months. I've been wearing earplugs at work.

...

I got my tires replaced. I'm tired. I was at the repair place for 4 hours.

...

I'm not too frustrated or stressed about having to change my tires because I've been planning on getting new ones, especially after all those months of road trips, but I was really hoping to put it off until August. This is 6 months early, and it really sucks because this is really not the best time.

...

I got a flat tire while going to the grocery store. This really throws off my plans for, you know, my plans through mid-April. I was hoping to hold off on getting new tires until June. This is way earlier than I was hoping. Anyway, the place didn't have my tire size in stock, so they're ordering them, and they'll be in on Monday, so in the meantime I'll be on my spare tire.

"He never hit me, he was never physically abusive, but he was always yelling at me for stupid bullshit like I said about going out. I'm a fucking adult, I should be able to go out if I fucking want to."

Damien orders another round of drinks. Long Island Iced Teas for the two of them. The continue talking about their hobbies and interests and places they would like to visit. Time goes by and the bar is about to close. Damien asks if she would like to head back to his place. Marissa declines but gives Damien her phone number. Damien goes back home and calls it a night.
