Jwef, thanks for making this thread so I can chime in how much I loved every drop of today.
I mean I didnt have wings and brews on a patio and that sounds really good. Hot wings. Mmmm. the drummy part for me please. Blue Cheese dip, well okay.
I did get a gig doing some organizing for a musician guy, organizing his files for about four hours today.
I was bitching because he lives like an hour and a half at least by public transit. Add to it it is out of the city so I would pay an additional fair and they pay more per ride. I wrote him and asked him if he would give up some money for the travel ticket and he said he would kick in 20 bucks.
I knew it was going to be the warmest day ever and I wasnt sure if I was going to be trapped in the basment away from the glorious sunshine.
Then I decided late last night that I would ride my bike. I checked it was like just over 10 miles. I could do that.
So I did. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha I loved it. Rode my bike all the way out of the city and back.
To totally top it off I have been in the market for some poundage of Shea Butter. I havent found any since I moved back from New York and I usually get it when I am there but I havent gone this year and dangerously close to the end of my stash. I finally spoke with a guy on the phone yesterday after getting a really good tip that took about a year to come to pass and found out what an awesome deal he had. He gave me the address. I remembered what he said, I didnt bring the paper, it kind of hadnt really occurred to me I could do both, get the shea butter and do the job. I was racing in the morning to get there on time, so no time then and the guy I had the job with today, he said I would go til about five but I finished by four so I thought I would see if I could find the place. It was way the freak out there but I did find it. Yet right in that basic neighborhood where I was, so perfect.
The guy in the store said he didnt have the key for storage area so he called the woman who owns the store and I dont know he couldnt find the stuff. He said he was going to take the lock off. He went next door and got a screw driver and boyo!! The shea butter still in the sack from Ghana.
I told him I would take 3 lbs. As he was cutting away I told him how much my friends love it, I make skin potion (cause it is magic) and he said, "Well then I am going to give you more."
He then cut off more and then even a little bit more. I also bought some scotch bonnet peppers and how perfect was that? It was an enchanted day. The sun was setting as I made my home. I realized the whole way there was mostly a slow ascent. I really noticed it on the way home, I practically sailed. Traffic is another thing though, yikes. There are a few huger hills up and down but I did the trip in about an hour each way! The sun each way was like elixir to me, I was lashing it up
Saved time, made 20$ extra since no public transit.
Yay Today!
