I stopped the madness by saying “I WILL TAKE THE DRINK TICKET INSTEAD OF THE GIFT CERTIFICATE” but the lady thought i was pretty cool and gave me the gift certificate afterwards and I gave her the drink ticket. So… we were 2nd and 3rd, whichever you’d like me to be this week.
I also got a banana Tootsie Roll Pop from grandfather, which is weird. I bet it’s gross.

I’m happy that I went, and next week it will be at 6:30 so I can start going again normally, but I did not do a great job this time. I recognized an unhealthy pattern in my choice of words, and hopefully that will get me back on the right track. Also maybe I should study.

Once upon a time You Look Nice Today, greatest podcast on the planet that they never update anymore but it’s okay I still love them, had a podcast called “The Good Part” in which they explain the modern problem of loving a song and wanting your loved ones to love the part you love while trying to keep their attention until the good part comes up.
