I got some good advice recently… It seemed pretty basic when I heard it at first, but it was spot-on what I needed to hear. And this didn’t even become truly evident until I started to act on it. I’d been missing the forest for the trees. With so much new stuff going on all at once, I didn’t have the time to peek outside of my blinders. Running on steam with a full plate has a tendency to do that to people. I slowed down and looked at what I needed most: sleep. I went to the mattress store and ordered a pillow top. That was a freaking hassle. I got turned down because I didn’t have a phone number inside the country I’m visiting. So I left the mattress store, went to a mobile phone operator, got a local SIM and came back in 15 minutes. She was like, “you take a new number now?”, I’m thinking: “yeah bish, run that fuckin card!”. Yes ma’am. The order will take two weeks. Signed the contract and it’s in progress. We’ll figure out if they can actually deliver it later. Fuck it.

I got a pillow too. A hypoallergenic, ergonomic, cooling technology having ass pillow. But that’s all it did, was HAVE ASS. The cheapest bs you could ever find apparently. I ripped open the vacuum seal just for it to barely inflate, smell like China, and feel just as depressed as I was. I haven’t used it yet, but I feel like I’m not missing out on anything there.

I will wash all of these things, including the new clothes I bought, before I use them. Because, duh. So I can’t use the new pillow or sheets for this reason.

I was looking for bed sheets at the department store, all these bed sheets seemed really hard to the touch… It took me a bit but I found out they were shower curtains lololol. They didn’t have any words on the labels but I found them while I was in the bedding aisle. What evs. I google translated the text on the real sheets and made sure to buy just the “sheet”… Turns out it was a fuckin fitted sheet, color me surprised, history repeats itself.

I have several paragraphs to fill in here, but I will stop for tonight because it was a wild ass night. The sun is up at 5:55, the bottle of Jack is nearly empty, and I’m supposed to go to the beach with the guys in a few hours.
