fever; chills

 last night I went out to providence for Michaelas birthday 


we had a good time, had some drinks. The lady who played us touch tunes was a real G. Even bought us green tea shots. (how do  you make thsoe)? 


I want to  say more but I don't  have time before bed now.  I followed the white car home that night on 146 and laughed a lot as they panicked. They started it, in my defense,  but racing at 100 mph  and blocking me. Whatever. 


Today I woke  up to the sunshine, how glorious, and  spent a relaxed morning before the  calls and emails started coming in. It became a blur. I actually went to the hospital to use the restroom, absurd as it is. 


I picked  up a  shift at Saint Anne's and confirmed my fate for tomorrows additional 16 hours. 48 this week  plus  another 8, and unless I weasel out of it, another 8, making a nice round 64 

I can't tell if  I'm  too  sick  or not. I  have symptoms, but they are mild honestly. I don't think it's COVID, but then again  it could be. It's so hard to say. The truth is I suppose that I don't care, or if I do it won't change anything.  

If I have it now, great, I can barrel through some long days, sleep the  rest, suffer, and be done with it for ever. If not, great, I'll be less sick for shorter and stay  safe. 


The ED was a nightmare tonight though. Good, productive, I felt like I  really helped. But a nightmare still. Nonstop COVID. back to back. constant exposure. It's ludacris. I suppose its expected. 


That's all, there's more, much more, but I'm tired and need to sleep.

 18  hours  16  working  2 driving   $240 dollars  with an additional differential for the night  and triple overtime on top  they promise $24 for every hour if  you pull  48 in a week   and $30 for every hour at 60  plus differentials  plus 1.5x overtime for  20 hours it's a no brainer.  to pull 60 hours this week would reduce the next 5 to easy profits  and days off  to pull 60 hours, I could what is likely  10% of my entire income last year  to pull 60 hours I'll need to  take off 3 I had planned  and hope to take off an 8 for simplicities sake  I could work  

Early Notes on the Eco-Bike-Future

I'm not sure I know what to call it yet, but I've been slowing fleshing out in my mind a sort of semi-realistic optimistic future. I think the first words I used to describe it may have been a "pastoral daydream" which I still think would be a great moniker for a chillwave outfit. More recently I've been trying to sandwich together phrases like "Eco-Tech" or "Eco-Pop" (another idea for music, maybe a genre?), or more vaguely using images of tree houses, wild flowers and domestic gardens and electric bikes and solar powered laptops. I often will try and pry some distasteful element from the over saturated modern life out to wash off and reexamine as a puzzle piece for this "best case scenario" future I would hope for. It's about 1 part science fiction, 1 part idealism, and 1 part some beacon of principles I hope to move toward or define more clearly. Usually I'm thinking about this as just a helpful exercise in finding the basi...

A Few Pinkish Pictures

On my lunch breaks  I would drive up to Etna and I stopped in this last week of July to take a picture of this barn. I thought it looked just perfect.  I edited in that Pink sky cloud which was from a picture I took of the sky the night I was texting Sam, that girl who worked in the co op. In my last week we had started talking more and I finally edged up the courage to ask for her number and we had a very short awkward convo and I sent her a picture of the sky on a whim. She replied saying  "When Pink Erases Blue"  Explaining it was a quote from an old poem. Very in triguing!  I enjoyed it immensly. . There have been  so many clouds like this up here.  I used to think that it was only big sky country which got sunny day clouds like this but...look at em  Flower Edit Fender Duo Sonic  This guitar is old  Very Old  From the 50's even And it sounds great,  and has some odd custom mods that I can't figure out that they do?
