i was thinking this would be a dull summer because of how much i'll (probably) be working.
however! adventure can be found in the most mundane things! for example this morning (all before the hour of 1 o'clock, that is), i:
was driving with my sister in her jeep, saw a (fresh) dead squirrel on the road
got home. went to get my bike and my sketchbook
bike has two flat tires after being in the basememt all winter
get my sister’s stakeboard instead (my brother broke mine and I haven’t gotten around to fixing it yet)
went on a walk to find the squirrel again
find out I’m very out of practice riding, and that there’s a reason I never liked my sister’s skateboard (it doesn’t turn well)
don’t have time to draw it but I get a photo
ride away because the owners of the house the squirrel was in front of pulled up
cruising on the skateboard
fall off of skateboard (in front of a neighbor)
get back on it bc I’m not a wuss
realize my knee is bleeding
feel dizzy on the way back but I get on the board again bc it’s faster than walking
almost pass out (over exertion?? idk???)
the pain receptors kick in
spend ten min looking for dizynfectant, knee still bleeding profusely
get knee cleaned up. have another dizzy spell
in the time since then i:
bled through several bandages
finaly ate food and the desire to pass out went away
