Slowpost

During the work I mentioned in last post, I managed to save a camera from destruction. Day 4 of filming and during games of soccer-tennis (tennis played with a soccer ball in a tennis court) a fly-ball flew over me, and I got plowed into. Instinct kicked in and I latched out and held the camera tight.

I ripped my finger. I won't go too deep into details, but as mentioned before, I'm confirmed hemophobe thanks to the Essay Class where I left in an Ambulance.
As in, I don't do so good with blood. And this was no tiny cut.
And I was surrounded by young people, who may or may not be so good with blood either.
I quick-thought to cover it with kleenexes from my lunch and asked my way to the Rec Center, where they had a proper first aid kit. Once home I used steri-strips, and now it is nearly healed! Probably going to leave a scar, but eh, it's one with a cooler story than 'I tried to balance on a balloon in a suitcase and nearly took out my eye'.
Or maybe that sounds cool too. I dunno lol.

On another note our out of town guest has arrived safe and sound and all has been going well. No big plans yet aside from going to a cabin early next month. I'll be stopping in Hometown briefly. My time is very likely already spoken for, heh.
Hopefully it's a good trip, as my mom's still battling more health issues. She can't catch a break it seems..

Ok see u next month

Rise of The Plant Man

As of late I've been helping Dyland with freelance work. He's become quite the expert at doing such, and the fact he lets me help him is wonderful. I've of course got work in later-August or early September, so I'm keeping busy. Plus a certain someone coming in 9 days... no idea how that will affect PTE posts, but hey, they could increase frequency!

The work itself has gone so far pretty good, today is the first of potentially 5 days of work. My camera skill is growing again which is great. I hate how unused skills get kinda rusty...
I'm very exhausted, and was a bit of a dolt, as I worked outside and didn't bring water. New City's got some hot weather and bad air currently, which dried me out like crazy.
But oh well, I tried to be prepared and was otherwise aside from the water.

Aside from the work, not much else is happening yet aside from the usual. I've sorta gotten into CS:GO but I'm trash and every competitive game I straddle being kicked out. Casual mode is much more fun. I think it's just I'm a casual gamer.

I HAVE BECOME THE CASUAL

ok will try to scrape up some more news soon.

July Talb

While away in Hometown, our AC appears to have started having issues.
It keeps frosting over internally, and we had thought we fixed it a few days ago, but it seems to keep frosting up. It's a nuisance, especially since we're in a heat wave. (Though opening the frosted over bit helps it melt super fast...)

Aside from AC issues, things are pretty chill around here.The insurance and van are getting sorted out so that's good. The insurance went up, but not insanely, so that's another major relief.
That said thanks to someone's wedding, finances around here aren't hot, so the raise is still crippling. Buuut should be fine.

Later this month as well I have a visitor coming from across the pond. I checked old PTE posts and she's never been mentioned before, but it's worth noting she was the reason for my Germany Trip. It will be very nice to see her again, and it helps that this time I see her, I'm not spending my time working at Derpo and collecting the shambles of my life together.
I mean I will be training and working in late August-September and my life is as shambles as it could get but shhh details.
Actually I'm oceans healthier now, all is well lol.

ok time to steam games with cousins, peace
