I’m currently sitting in the shade of a Walmart parking lot to get my tires switched. My fingernails are dry to touch but would smudge if I tried putting my shoes on. Metaphorically, my shoes are currently on.

I bought a Duplex with my sister about a month ago from my Grandpa’s life long bestie. He rented it out for 20+ years. He kept rent low but the house got too expensive to keep renovating so he’s deciding to sell instead of gradually upping rent due to regulations around how much a landlord can up rent a year. I’m renovating it with my sister, mom, dad and boyfriend.

My lizard hasn’t eaten in like 5 days and that stresses me out. I have about a dream a week regarding her health. I love her and worry about her. Sometimes I feel like maybe I should surrender her just so I don’t stress the amount that I do about her, but that requires a heartbreak that I am not willing to face.

I have to urinate but they said only about an hour for the car, and I’m thirty minutes deep so I think I’ll be ok.
