Is someone going to get the one and only easter basket at the coop? I wonder how they decided on that pricing for that. I want it.

These mini flowers are so freakin cute.

We headed out to the gorge today to do the full hike at whirlpool state park. We went to the end of the trail this time. I know why they want you to stop now. Right after the end is the sewer overflow. Its gross. Other than that it was a beautiful warm day.

After years of being stabbed by this stupid ass overgrown bush I couldn't take it anymore. The tortoise had dug in under it knowing I couldn't get him there. It also prevented us from ever finishing the pond because its prickly branches were all over it. Sure it was pretty in the fall. I am sure something is prettier.

It is now way dead. We even dug out and threw away the roots. It was so satisfying as it had scratched up my arms only a few hours before.

We also threw out the white carpet from the attic that was covered in fiber glass.







(E:Joe) is so cute in this pic

These blueberries were so amazing. They were like the size of large grapes and tasted like bananas.

This was really published.

We emptied of the garage completely today and threw everything in a dumpster. It was so moldy and disgusting. We are planning on replacing the roof sometime this summer and then powerwashing the shit out of it and kills painting all the stone surfaces.

This will someday be the launching ground for a kitchen remodel.

(E:terry) and (e:Joe) want to build a green roof. Let's see how that goes.

How did this make it though gmail spam filters. Maybe they don't check in languages other than English?

I had the craziest night in Raleigh last night. The day started with working till 4:30 am and then getting up at 6:30 am for a course that went till 4pm.

Afterwards, I went home and took a nap. I had pretty much decided to not go out but I was so hungry, so I decided to go look by the mall for food. I found everything was closing but saw a bus. The bus was on break so it had no sign on it but I figured what the heck, anything has to be better than where I am and I could always taxi back. I get on and I'm literally the only white person on a totally full bus. I do t think that has ever happend before.

Eventually, the bus driver shows up and the sign changes to downtown. I get excited to finally see it and the trip only cost $2.

When we finally get downtown I am little sketched out by where I got out. However, using my phone I found an Asian place called Five Star open till midnight. Walking there seemed even more sketchy but a lot of it was just caused by the he construction for the new citrix headquarters.

Inside the restaurant was great and so was the service. They even had gluten free options. I got shrimp in lobster sauce with veggies and drank some wine. I chatted with (e:joe) and (e:robert) a bit and noticed my battery was dying. Because I was starving and the wine came first I got a but tipsy. Then came glass two. By the time I left I was pretty drunk and found out the buses stopped running and the phone was just about dead so I took some Screenshots of some maps and put it in airplane mode.

Then I hit up the gay bars, well one gay bar called flex. The people were super nice and the bar tender, who was an mma fighter was real cute. Had a few more drinks talking with him and then came their drag show. It was almost sad. It's a pretty big club and their couldn't have been more than 10 people inside. Instead of performing on stage and people bringing money to them, they pretty much went around and begged for dollars. The one also just dressed like a fancy dressed guy. It was time for me to go, so I decided to stumble run home.

Looking at the map, the train tracks seemed like a shortcut. I didn't consider the trains would be all on then or that the sides were mostly lined in barb wire fences where they abutted businesses.

I stumble on for miles, pretty much in the wrong direction, no phone. Eventually I decided to cross the the trains or face like a 3 hour detour walk around the tracks. Some of the trains were moving but slowly. As I hopped between the one, it started to go while I was between the cars on the train like a freaking hobo. Luckily it stopped before I ended up real far away and I jumped off into some bushes and thicket where I scratched my arm but successfully got across.

As if that wasn't enough I could see on the map that the hotel which was like a 2 hr walk away (this is at 2am) was closer if I just went down the highway. Obviously, pedestrians aren't supposed to do that but otherwise it was a much greater distance and I figured I just hopped a moving train so how much worse could it be.

Partway in I saw a taxi and started waving like a mad man. He drove away. Eventually there was not even shoulder space so I decided I needed to get off at an exit. Believe it or not, there was the taxi guy who had been looking for me.

I got a ride back to the hotel but instead of getting dropped off there I asked to go to the gas station so I could buy a bottle of water. I pay him, he leaves, I go in. There is nobody inside. No worker, nobody.

I wait 10 minutes. Still no one I wanted to just put down a few bucks and go but I only had $20s.

Other customers come in and ask what is going on. I explained the guy disappeared and I had been waiting around. I think they think I killed him or that they are on a prank video show.

One woman started searching the coolers, another the bathroom, then the employees only area. Still no one.

I eventually decide I am just going to steal the water. I am pretty sure other people were stealing at this point too. So I just walk out with it and as I get up the street a taxi pulls up with the gas station employee in it asking if I stole the water. I was like where the fuck were you for which he had no answer. I ended up paying him for the $2 water and leaving. I kind of want to call the store and report the situation because it's so weird but at the same time, I did just steal the water so I let it go.

Then I went finally went to bed.
