9.9.24

wow, today i am… very glad that i went out. i had really wanted to do something this weekend, as i was getting really miserable in my classes. im actually writing this on the 17th, but i’ll mark the date as when it actually was.
anyway i had really wanted to go out… but the problem is that where i live, there’s nothing to do if you don’t go at least 30 minutes to an hour out. and there’s really nothing to do if you’re by yourself. but, my mom asked me in the morning if i wanted to go look at some local plant sale with her. and surprise i did..!! i did feel excited to go, but because of my anemia, i honestly felt so tired still once we got there. but being social outside of my classes really helped me breathe a bit i think… my mom picked up a couple different flowers, i believe some sort of lily, an evening primrose, and black eyed susans… there wasn’t really a lot there (it was a little sad because everything was dead). after that, we started to go to a couple different thrift stores. i don’t have a lot of clothes for school, so i was hoping we’d find some things there, but maybe i should check goodwill instead next time. i did find a really cute shirt though with a bunch of hand sewn giraffes… it was so cute!! besides that im not sure what i picked up, it was mostly my mom that got things there, and i got two empty cards for only about 25 cents, which was crazy to me.
we went to another one down the road after that– this store used to be some sort of play store that i had been into when i was younger but it seems to have changed completely after that ●︿● i mean it is very likely either the same or just bought out.
anyway, that store was huge. you could be in there for hours and hours. and it was so southern, some random country music playing on the radio, stuff from a million years ago, and some… extremely racist things! yeah maybe i need to go back north because it was insane. but, i did see a couple cute things, including these little halloween hand crafted dolls that made my heart smile:
along with this cat print that says “my princess, you are purrfect”. and i have never wanted something so badly in my life..! like actually ∩(︶▽︶)∩ my boyfriend and i’s anniversary is coming up soon and considering everything in this image… i needed it so bad. but for $15, sadly i did not get it…
besides that, i got some more postcards, some probably at least 40 years old. i also bought a very beautiful framed painting. but at this point it was pretty late in the afternoon and i was starving, so we went a little farther to go to some restaurant my mom had been to before. i wasn’t expecting much, but it was actually quite nice. they only sold one thing i would eat, which was a chicken taco with peppers avocado etc., and considering how hungry i was, it was amazing. they also sold a lavender latte, which i don’t see very frequently around here, so i was very happy to find that there.
i also just started playing pokemon go again after 6 years or so, and multiple people had put up at least 5 lure modules around me… there were a good 15 ponyta and i managed to pick up a shiny ∩(︶▽︶)∩ here’s a picture from the view of the restaurant… thankfully it wasn’t too windy that day.
after that we left… i did quite like the restaurant even though it was pretty small. but then AGAIN we went to a thrift store (more like a bookstore this time though). i had been in here a few times, but a lot of things are racked up prices, as much as i don’t see this place as a tourist spot, it might be more of one than i remember. anyway, they sold a lot of old cameras, which i’ve been looking for since my polaroid impulse stopped working. sadly no 600-types, but i did get… wait… 3 more postcards uh huh ∩(︶▽︶)∩ 2 from switzerland and one from france. it actually made me quite happy to pick up those two, considering i still don’t have any switzerland merch for myself despite being there. but the prices were so high, that we ended up paying 10.50$ for just 3 postcards… i felt bad.
after that, we briefly looked in one more store, then left. it was about 4pm by the time i got home, and considering i had left home at around 10:30, i was pretty tired.. it was crazy timing. but my mom offered that we stop at a store nearby to get ice cream, something we hadn’t done in probably 6 months, so i was very happy. we live in the middle of nowhere, so even the nearest gas station is a 45 minute bikeride and a 5 minute drive away. but when we got there… they had no soft serve (o╭╮o) womp womp womp… i ended up getting this blue raspberry bar, thinking it would be good? no it was.. so ass! guys, if you ever see a hershey brand blue raspberry bar, please do not pick it up. it did not even taste like blue raspberry, and it made a mess and was uncomfortable to eat. i know better now but im thankful we went to get some at least…
after that, i did some work and ended up playing minecraft till about 1 in the morning (i swear, i did do work beforehand…) and i was really glad to spend time with some of my friends that we hadn’t played with in.. months. i really miss my friends ~ besides that, that was my busy saturday!
