Adventure

Got my knife, not as expected in some ways, better in others. Guy buying homeless man food. Beautiful girl selling games. Reflecting during drive and rocking tunes. Looked at the lake.

I’m posting this six months after the fact. I don’t remember much of what happened back here but enjoy the photos. The preceding were my notes for the day. I’ll elaborate some. I went to Walmart to pickup the knife I’d ordered with my Dyson, not sure which day the vacuum arrived but I probably gushed about it enough already. It was only one knife though the picture showed two but it’s pretty sweet. I wear it daily now, here in the future. When I was getting my McBreakfast I saw a man stop and give a meal to the homeless man who hangs around the drive thru. I was pretty touched by that, seemed like a very human thing to do. From there I drove towards Lake Erie. I was going to buy some Christmas gifts on behalf of Mother for STL Sister. When I arrived an hour later I was shocked by how attractive the girl selling them was, it was a sign of me being isolated from the world for so long. I’m not embarrased to say it. It was the first time in a long time that I went on a relaxing drive. I decided to go the last ten minutes and look at the lake. It was cold, windy and unpleasant but I stood on the shore and took it in for awhile, just reflecting and trying to be in the moment or something. I recall enjoying the experience. I returned home and had a nice Saturday.

This post was the last draft I had. Since April 17, 2020 I’ve posted every single day. Usually that would entail taking a photo in the morning and then starting a draft with some bullets and fleshing things out in the evening or more and more a day or two later when I’d put up a bunch. When things got busy I might have done five or six at a time. Writing them and then posting them. Once I got a few weeks behind I knew I wasn’t going to catch up and stopped drafting. I still took photos for weeks after but won’t bother trying to post them now. My sense of duty to post everyday waned and my MSF usage jolted up. I enjoyed my time putting up daily Musings and for awhile I had a bit of a following. I was getting over a hundred unique visitors to the site and had over four daily visitors. Not much but very different than the usual zero. I’m glad I created this record and I often will go back and scroll through to revisit my experiences and learnings. I’ve tried a few recipes again because of that. I start posting again at some point but I’m not sure it will be as frequent and regular this incredible run. I hope you go back (maybe go quick over the preceding three weeks or so) and check it out. There is some interesting stuff, some raw, personal reflection, and fun photos for you to review. I’m not planning to take the site down so you can take your time and consume it all. Until later, enjoy!
