Beating The Heat

Today, I got a knock at my door.
Thought it was my neighbor
because he's been the only one visiting me, lately. 

It was a couple of neighbors who asked
if I still wanted an AC unit. 

So we made a deal for it, $50
and they came in and installed it, for me.

The last couple of days the heat's been... Crazy.

I ended up getting burned, again. 

I like being in the sun, but not burned by it.

Anyway, it'll be better to sleep, tonight.

Sweaty, restless nights are kinda annoying, haha.

Anyway, I've had to rearrange some stuff, but...
It's nice to have AC on days like the last two days...

Today wasn't as bad as yesterday... 

One of the guys who came up with the AC, 
he was the guy who was in the hospital
when I moved in here.

Unfortunately, he needs to get back on oxygen... 

But that can change... 

He was great without it since he got back
from the hospital, this time. 

On a walk with my neighbor....
(I took him hostage to go eat with me)...

We found a couple of hard drives 
someone was giving away... 

At the end of someone's laneway, 
in one of those static bags,
taped up... 

With a sign on it "FREE."

Anyway, he looked at them for us.
Whoever was giving them away, wiped them, 
and he's going to make sure they're clean
before giving them back to us. 

There's a computer shop near where I live, 
so I'm going to get a new laptop, soon.

I'm hoping it will last as long as this one has... 

Then, there's a bunch of stuff I want to get going on... 
Website stuff.

Just been taking a break...

But I really have to buckle down with it, 
as soon as I can figure out something... 

Because as much as I'd love to just rip through it, 
this computer is insanely slow at times
and it's mega ultra frustrating. 

Today, I went to an all day breakfast place. 
It was nice for a change. 

There was a dude passed out under a tree... 

I went to the gas station and bought him
a couple of bottles of water
and I put them near enough to him
so that I'm hoping that he sees them
when he wakes up. 

It's best not to wake them up. 
A lot of them wake up swinging... 

One dude was practically passed out
like bent in half, 
was close to falling on his head... 

Across the street... 

Anyway, I did a bit of knitting tonight, 
and a bit of crocheting, tonight, 
even a bit of cleaning and reading tonight.

There was supposed to be a bbq for the building... 
But it's going to be raining on Friday... 

We need the rain pretty bad
and not surprising the sky's heavy
with all the fluid it sucked out of
everyone and everything... 

Might go to the beach with my neighbor. 
He says he hasn't been to it, yet, 
and we're trying to set something up, together. 

Just haven't been out to get much done with it, 
because the weather's been nuts. 

Every time we've made plans to go,
we haven't gone.

And we end up getting into other stuff, 
like smoking joints... 

It's nice to relax, and smoke, 
but it's also nice to get sh*t done.

I like Sativa for that reason. 

Getting high and doing something. 

It is nice to get high and not do anything, 
but it's also nice to get into something, 
creative... 

I've got my projects I've already started, 
so I get to pick what I want to work on, 
and I love it, that way, 
because sometimes I need to pick up steam
on a project, by working on another thing... 

It's hard to explain how it works, for me, 
but that's how it is. 

Or I'll lose momentum completely, 
and no... I don't want that. 

So as long as I keep going, 
with something, I'm still going... 

Been pretty tired, lately, though. 

Today, I was going to have a nap, 
but ended up reading and knitting, instead.

I picked up a bunch of books that were downstairs
a while ago. 

I am going to "make myself" read at least a couple of them. 
So I picked one up, today. 

Also, the power was out for most of the day...
They were replacing the generator... 

They had to split the work into two parts, 
so the time they did the same thing, 
last week, that was part 1.

Then, this week was part 2.
And hoping for them to not have
and key disruptions... 

ALL DANG DAY

Coming up any time soon. 

The day time, being summer... 

A neighbor who wants to smoke pot all the time... 

He'd smoke it by himself... 
It's that he wants to hang out all the time. 

I don't mind hanging out, 
but I actually want to get stuff down.

I'm behind with the plans I had. 

It started wit h slacking a couple days here and there
and it turned into a couple of weeks
of not doing much of anything... 

Like sure, nice to feel like you can
kick back just a little bit... 

BUT...

WHEN THERE ARE THINGS TO DO, 
THERE ARE THINGS TO DO.

AND IF THOSE THINGS
ARE ONLY GOING TO GET DONE
IF YOU DO THEM... 

WELL, YOU GOTTA DO THEM, 
TO GET 'EM DONE.

AND THEN... THEN YOU CAN CHILL.

Anyway, other than that,
and going to get a new computer, soon, 
not a heck of a lot.

Nothing much to update about. 

Sometimes I wish there was a ton to write about, 
other times, probably a blessing there's

not mega ultra drama 
going down... 

I mean, usually is something to write about, 
the things that go on here... 

The corner fence got cleaned up recently.

The couch and the mattress are gone.

I saw an ambulance, out there,
they came to get the guy who was out there... 

Yesterday, pretty sure, 
or the day before. 

Each day has bee blurring together... 

A lot of these days... 
Not a lot going on... 

I'd rather it be an uneventful day
than a day packed with
"too much excitement."

As much as I don't mind chilling with my neighbor, 
he's made advances towards me before.

Keeps calling me Sweets and called me Pumpkin. 
That sh*t bugs tf outta me, 
but didn't say anything. 

He keeps doing it, though. 

Anyway, we were out on my balcony, 
and we were standing at the railing. 
He was standing next to me, 
and he slid over 
and rubbed my elbow. 

THAT SH*T, 
HE WOULDN'T DO THAT TO A DUDE.

IT'S THAT HE'S MADE THE EXCUSE
THAT I'M A FEMALE, TO DO THAT.

EVEN THOUGH I TOLD HIM, 
I'LL ONLY BE A FRIEND. 

THAT'S IT. 

NO ROMANTIC INTEREST.

IF ANYTHING, 
IF IT WERE A PARTNERSHIP, 
IT'D BE BUSINESS ONLY. 

IN THE SPHERE OF WEBSITE STUFF. 

Anyway, it's not like I can explain all the stuff...

About websites to people who don't know about it...

So even when I try to explain it, 
it's either that I can't explain it in a way
that makes sense, 
or I try to explain it, 
the best that I can, 
but it's to do with
just a lot of stuff isn't so "basic."

Well, I'm going to take my medication and go to bed.
