Holy bejesus, the pups are giving the Ho the most massive puppy eyes right now. She’s just about finished with the nighttime routines, and that usually means the pups each get a Charlie Bean apiece. Now, before you get all fucking judgey mcjudgersons…Charlie Beans are, I think, 2 calories apiece. We’re not making our dogs fat, here, just rewarding them for going where we tell them to go. They each get one from me, and one from her. And the dogs don’t care that they’re so tiny, they still look forward to it like it’s a goddamn chocolate sundae.
Today was all apartment business all the time. Like a solid five hours of it. I was GOING to get all my work done for the week early and then have a nice long stretch of time off…but now I’m thinking that I might take a couple days off FIRST and then spread my work out over the end of the week. I don’t know. We’ll see.
What I am going to do is stick with narrations, and stick with getting my writings done. I was going to finish the readings today as well, but that didn’t quite happen either. I have maybe two or three hours left. I know, I read slowly. What can I say?
Anywho, it’s past midnight already. In parting, I had a weird thing happen tonight: a homeless lady had got herself into the building somehow and was in the stairwell when I found her, locked in. I was able to get her to trust me enough to follow me downstairs and I walked her back to her little encampment. By that time, it was clear something had happened, she’d been spooked, and had fled over towards my building. I don’t know if someone just “robbed” her or if she was actually assaulted, but I figured I should call the cops and see if they could help her out. She didn’t even have shoes on. The Ho told me she’s seen her around the past couple days. It’s pretty clear she was dumped here. She was either high, or she has a decent case of schizophrenia. Made me feel sad, and it made me feel like we as a society CAN do better for our homeless. We should do better. They’re still people, and they clearly can’t take care of themselves. We should do better.
Good night, guys. It’s time for sleeps.
