Today is Thursday. It's the fourth day of being sober! No weed, alcohol, or vaping. I did Jim’s Mowing with Corey today. I got up at 6 and made some breakfast and coffee. It started raining for a bit so everyone in the work chat waited until it stopped. Then we all met up.
Corey and I worked for about 7 hours. At the last house we met an 80 year old man. He was really nice. He made us coffee and gave us some fruit cake. We put down mulch and pulled some weeds. I realized I’d forgotten my rain jacket at his house after we’d already left.
Corey’s a really nice guy. It’s really easy to be around him and to laugh.
I put my ear to the front door when I got home. I thought I could hear Carly talking to someone. I didn’t wanna go inside. I decided to go see a move at the Thornbury Picture House. It’s a little indie-cinema that kinda reminds me of the fox, except the popcorn is nowhere near as good.
I had about 2 hours until the movie started. I bought my ticket ahead of time. I got a burger and fries and ate in the park. A couple of dogs came over and checked out my food. Then I went for a walk. I got back to the theatre at 5:15. The movie was called ‘Babylon’. It was made in 1980. It was really good. I enjoyed it a lot.
After that I walked home. My phone had died and so I couldn’t listen to anything on the way back. That turned out to be really nice. I basically just sang to myself the whole way home. It was about a 25 minute walk.
Once I was back I began packing my suitcase. I’m leaving here tomorrow. I don’t know if I need to bring my two tiny amps. I love those things but I never use them anymore. I thought about just keeping one, but there’s really no point. I got them for busking. They were cool for what I was trying, but they weren’t really loud enough. I do love them. They’re so cool. The problem is that now I have these giant work boots that I need to hold onto.
I also have the Yamaha keyboard. That thing is really cool. I guess I’ll take the two amps and the bass guitar to the pawn shop tomorrow and see what I can get.
I’m working with Corey again tomorrow. I’m gonna come home after work and do a couple of my chores and then leave. I’m so fuckin excited to get out of here. Well, it’s just Carly. I’m excited to not be involved with her anymore. I really like Daniel and Corey. I told them that we should go for food downtown. They both like that idea. Corey said we should go to Chinatown. That’ll be really fun.
