I joined the gym and got a library card. I'm all a member of the community now. Maybe I'll "meet some people".
But really, I was distracted by the Hemingway section in the library and am completely unsure how you meet people when you're just...running. In circles. Laps, if you will. Maybe I could be, "Hey, your shoe's untied" and that will spark a lifelong friendship. Or I could "accidentally" trip and then they could fall over me and then we'd laugh about it over coffee in five years.
Yeah, I don't know, either.
And I went to the grocery store here for the first time. I bought a collar for The Nub and some catfood. The grocery store closes at nine.
The broken glass in the alley next to work glitters like pieces of a chandelier, when you've had too much to drink.
It's hard telling people you're sorry they don't have heat tonight, but all you can do is let them fill out an application.
Someone will get back with you tomorrow.
