"Hi, it's me, the girl from the carnival, did I wake you?"
"Nope. Hi. How are you?”

“Okay I guess. Sounds like you found your way back home.”

“Ha, yeah, it was a total surprise, too. I was just walking around, actually I’d started trying to visit some of the sites from the Rocky movies, and I found my apartment building on accident.

I also went to the bank to trade in a 20 dollar bill for quarters - the laundry room here doesn't have a change machine and I have often been out of quarters, perpetually chipping away at my laundry by hand washing it in the sink - low level depression housekeeping. The same day I got the quarters I did all my laundry, taking care of that subpar living condition that's often gnawed at my subconscious. I also stopped going to bed at 3:00 and waking up at 1:00, instead going to bed at midnight and waking up at 9:00. It's crazy how soon I changed, and I'm not completely sure why I'm doing it - the bed frame is going to help me when ...
