Three

This morning I woke up to some commotion outside of my building, apparently the bus broke down in front of the coffee shop. This apparently upset some people, since there was yelling and screaming around 5am, honestly I cant think of what could have possibly happened for someone to argue with the bus driver,who clearly did not break the bus on purpose; loud enough for me to be awakened by it this early in the morning. Now that I had been woken up ever so rudely all I wanted was hot cup of coffee and of course I was out and of course this whole arguing with the bus driver charade was happening at the coffee shop. I decided to take a shower, get dressed and walk to the Casa de Waffle for some breakfast and coffee. I bundled up in a big sweater and scarf due to the last leg of winter chill, fed my fish and took off. As I approach Casa de Waffle I can see that there is already a line out of the door down the sidewalk. Murphy's Law was in effect for my day it seemed, everything that can go wrong will go wrong. Then I saw the sign hanging in the storefront: Free Waffles with Purchase of Coffee. I decided that the wait would be worth the free meal. As I stood in line waiting I could hear the rather strange mix of music that WTF radio was station was playing, a strange choice for a waffle joint but in this town, not so much.

Two

I woke up this morning exhausted from working a double shift, looked in the fridge for my morning pick me up only to find that I was fresh out of Red Bull. Although I didn't have to work today and I planned on spending the day curled up on my cozy couch in apartment 3a. I decided that it was worth it to run to the grocery pick up some more Red Bull and treat my self to a pint of Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream. I threw on some shoes and started my walk across the street in my pajamas; it was too early on a sunday morning for anyone of meaning to be out anyways. As I was walking out of the grocery I saw the blind man whose notorious for sitting outside of the clinic, walking from the church to his usual place outside of the clinic. He was humming to himself as usual, he seemed rather happy today, he stopped to talk to me today as we crossed paths and said something that has been on my mind since I got back from the grocery. He said "What will come will come. Even if i shroud it all in silence." It had me thinking, am i meant to stay in this town and be a show girl forever, will i go on to school and make something better of myself, will i meet a man and start a family? Am i really suppose to just wait around for something good to happen? Eh, who knows, so i just sat on my couch watching sappy movies and eating ice cream, escaping from reality.
