Good morning, world. We’re all awake. Brian is in the shower, and Mom is bundled up in a fuzzy robe, complaining about the chill outside. It’s about 40掳F outside right now, so I can understand her annoyance. My annoyance centers around the fact that I found a little poop nugget on my bed. What the fuck is up with that, Mal?
Mom and I took advantage of Brian having work yesterday and went grocery shopping alone. It was busy, but it was Friday, and I assumed it was mostly people stocking up for the weekend. I didn’t need to buy much of anything, just a couple of random things for lunch and some face wash.
We had Chinese last night. We were actually slightly worried that we wouldn’t be able to go out. Brian’s uncle showed up about 30 minutes before we we’d normally leave. He didn’t know Mom was back home, and was stopping in to check on me, make sure I was still doing ok and that Brian was feeding me. I had been painting in the living room when he showed up.
“I didn’t know you painted”, he said.
“Yup”, I replied. “I do all sorts of artsy shit.”
“You are a woman of many secrets”, he said.
He didn’t stay long. I think once he realized Mom was home, he knew I was better and Brian was properly supervised and we all probably had dinner plans that didn’t involve him. He didn’t get an invite so he left after a quick visit. We put shoes on and left shortly thereafter. It was just positively meh. Any dinner that Mom or I don’t need to cook is better than something eaten prepared at home, usually. Mediocre Chinese buffet is still mostly ok.
I have some painting to work on today. I didn’t do any work on the firebox yesterday because I needed another paintbrush. Unfortunately, I need to buy a second one, or steal another one from Brian. I’ll probably opt for theft. Mom had said something about the possibility of baking, but I can’t think of anything I really want to make with the shit that’s available in the house. Honestly, I don’t particularly want to make anything. I want to sit on the floor and work on the paintings I started yesterday, even if they are completely sucking.
Happy Saturday, friends. Enjoy it if you can.
