Trying Not To Say {Week 14}

Terrible week for the photo part of the photo blog because I have literally no photos. Not a thing. Well... I do have one pic of my sunburnt face that I have no memory of taking but that isn't exactly very interesting or new. 

Just another daunting precursor of a summer that is to come. Sure, I wanna go to the pool and make fun drinks but I also don't want it to be 40 degrees all day every day.

Week 14.

Monday through Thursday were normal and full work days. We met a kid who's also been hired to help out. He's going to Singapore this summer to do something... it was some Zoomer business plan I didn't really understand, I'll be honest. Man, I feel so fucking old...He's great though. He forgot lunch on the first day so we shared ours with him and he's 'forgotten' it every day now too so we just always make extra. Anything for some worker solidarity.

We found out lunch is not paid however, so we basically take only 15 minute lunches now so that we don't have to stay a half-hour after work to make up the time. Can't even bitch about it or anything. See, if I was fully committed to working in agriculture or the service sector or as a teacher or whatever I'd join a fucking union. And you know what? I will. In the future, I'll be in a fucking union, hold me to it. 

I was going to prank my brother on Wednesday, on April Fool's, by telling him that work was called off and that he could sleep in only to crush his dreams in the next moment. But it felt so cruel! I was actually unpranked most of the day until my mum pulled the classic 'there's a wasp in your hair'. It was bullshit though because there really are wasps that make nests on the kiwi plants!

I took a day off on Friday because I thought I had a meeting but turns out it was on a different day. Dammit! Cats are giving us more problems meanwhile, they've found a gap between the second-floor ceiling and third-floor floor and are crawling around above us like cryptids. They come out completely soot-covered and gross too. Don't like the sound of something creeping above me where I can't see it. 

You know it!

On Saturday I dropped by the thrift store and picked up some cute shoes and a simple long-sleeve. I've been doing really badly this A-Z blogging event, much like the one last year. I already feel like I'm gonna have to quit before complete disaster strikes but I'd like to at least go beyond 'D' which is where I fell over last year. 

And Sunday was quite uneventful. I don't even know when it happened but I got so crispy. I will absolutely never have the flawless skin all the skin-care girlies are chasing because the amount of times I've been sizzled is beyond counting. Ah well, wrinkles, scarier in theory than in practice. 

Finally, a little colour. Bright red!

And so, a very busy but actually quite uneventful week. I did manage to finally order the replacement pen for my tablet for which I am so terribly excited. I'm anxiously waiting. Give it to me!

The end.

This Week I'm Excited For...

My birthday! It's on April 6th, Monday next. Easter Monday? I don't know. I'll be turning 27. It's a good thing I'm no famous rock star or movie actor, that could mean very bad things for my life expectancy. No plans to be honest, probably staying in, hopefully watching a movie or something. And hopefully cake!

Song Of The Week... 

I've been ensnared by the Weakerthans this week. I've had their entire disco on my player for a while but taking more time to listen to some albums back to back. Many amazing songs but all week I have been catching myself singing 'I...hate...Winnipeg!' as if it's a place I've ever been to or will ever go. Well, perhaps when me and Alice finally go on our tour of Canada to see national landmarks such as the Rivoli we may drop by Winnipeg but that's all TBD. I guess the best part about One Great City beside the mournful guitar melody is that it doesn't have to be Winnipeg. Think of any mid-sized town you've lived through and hated and sing it with me: 'I...hate...Winnipeg!'.
