Today was a rather long one and my last day off. Even now as I am writing this I am Exhausted and would honestly rather sleep than to write it, but I know myself too well and know that if I miss a day it will be all the easier next time to miss another and another and before too long I won’t be writing at all. That is something that I very much am wanting to avoid so here I am again. Striking key and trying to put the day into words.

I was able to sleep in a bit today awakening to my Dear Marisella beside me. The morning was cold and she was warm and such a combination making it rather difficult to rise from bed. I peaked my head out of bed and checked  on young Christopher who had fallen asleep with his headphones on and his phone still playing something or another but at this point he was still fast asleep. Since Marisella and I had nowhere to be and in no hurry this day I lay my head back on my pillow and drifted off into a light sleep for a while longer.

Not much longer I rose in earnest and after discussing the days plans with Marisella we decided that we were indeed very hungry and in need of food. Most of the ingredients for breakfast were already in her apartment and we only needed a few. So I dressed and rushed to get the Pelican ready for travel and soon we were off. The first stop was the Convenient store to acquire tobacco and after accomplishing that the General store for our missing ingredients and after finishing those tasks back to her apartment it was to prepare the days breakfast.

I prepared a meal of chorizo egg and potatoes in the form of breakfast burritos and as I cooked Marisella, the kids, and I enjoyed each others company and joked and laughed in the kitchen together. Its worth noting that sometimes the most mundane of activities like cooking breakfast can make some of the best memories when done with a light heart and the right people. This breakfast was one of those times indeed and warms my heart even thinking about it now as I write.

Breakfast went over well with everybody and after we all had eaten I sat down with my laptop and began to once again work on my self imposed task of being successful with my affiliate marketing. I am seeing some sucess in a way and getting people to click my links though I have as yet to make a sale but being that I have not even been at this a week yet my spirits are still high.

After a few hours of this it was time for another task to be completed that of grocery shopping. I am begining to realize that life has for me become a series of tasks to be completed and upon realizing that it is absolutly best to make sure that i dont forget to take the time to still enjoy all the goings on in between the tasks as well.  We took Marisella’s car to the grocery store this time and began to shop as i think is best by going down one Isle at a time grabbing what we each needed and thus covering the entirty of the store before calling it all done. and so going about in this mannor and two hours later we were done and almost three shopping carts were filled. we headed out to the checkout and I allowed chris to go look at the toys while Marisella and I Checked out and paid.

The shopping done now we sat about the task of putting all the groceries away I don’t know how well Marisellas time of stocking her own shelves went but I had to get rather creative to fit all I had aquired into the tiny kitchen area of my bus. now with everything put away and my laundry started I now had time to.... and it was about this time I remembered I had to pull birds to be preped for tomorrow at work. Marisella took me up there and I pulled the birds from the freezer so that they could thaw and we decided while we were out to take Chris back to his mothers.

After coming back to Marisella’s apartment we finished with the task of cleaning the duck cage and cleaning the bus. I was ready for the day to be over at this point but life was not yet ready to be done with me. I still needed to switch the laundry and my stomach was yelling at me that I had forgotten to eat dinner yet. The laundry now switched My Marisella and I went into the apartment where i prepared for us a dinner of fried tuna steak with corn and peppers and a side salad which I was very pleased with the way it all came out. We ate and watched some youtube videos as I didnt want to get involved with something more than that with still so much for me to do.

Our hunger now satisfied it was time for me to heade another bodily concern. a shower. I had noted earlier while grocery shopping and reaching for things on the top shelves that I could indeed smell myself and the stench was enough to make my nose want to jump from my face and hide in a corner. I was so utterly exhausted at this point that the thought of skipping the shower had crossed my mind but the continuous foul odor emanating from my very being was enough to drive the thought from my mind and I relented into taking a quick shower.

With all that done it was finally time to retrieve our cloths from the dryers and retire to the bus for the evening. I chose to dress minimally for the trip from her apartment to my landboat since we were to be going to bed soon. that proved to be a mistake as the night was cold and the concrete colder. my toes were forzen by the time we got to the bus and I danced around as Marisella tried as quickly as she could to open the doors for me.
