Day 80

Today we had pancakes for breakfast because we are out of everything and in desperate need of a Costco trip. The waffles were very crispy and hard and chewy, just not good. So we had about five squares left covered with peanut butter and we couldn’t eat them. So Jeremiah tries to sneak away and give them to Maggie before anyone notices. Of course he gets caught red-handed by Marianna and she says “Are you gonna give that to the pig? It’s too fattening”. He comes back to the table with an ashamed and defeated adorable face. It was a pretty humorous failed secret mission. Also Daisy (green parrot) escaped from her cage and was on the front porch. Marianna was really busy so she brought her into the house and just set her in her office. Daisy was fine and all cute messing around the room, but after breakfast there was a big crash. I don’t know what she did but it was kind of funny to have this bird just chilling in the house watching us and reeking havoc. For work I cleaned a room, cleaned the laundry room, and painted. After I was done painting I couldn’t find my flip-flops; they ended up being under an empty feed bag by the porch. Reiner hid them because I sprayed him with the hose this morning, but I know where he hides the squirt gun now so mwa ha ha. He is such an old prankster it’s fun. After work me and Jeremiah decided to go grocery shopping for lack of diet variety lately. We almost went and saw a movie, but the voice of reason talked us down. So pretty awesome all we managed to get food wise with the money we earned yesterday. Its cool how we randomly got $25 and bought food for the last two weeks here. It kind of makes sense though because our meals lately have not been well provided so we sort of inadvertently had our hosts give us the money to buy some good ,not pasta, foods. When we got home we tried to sneak in so Marianna wouldn’t see we bought our own bread and whatnot, we don’t want her to fell bad we bought groceries. As we are sneaking past the house she’s says, “hey guys, don’t even stop and say hi to Pignic”. So we stash our goods on the side of the trail and have a good old playtime with the pig and dogs and birds and Marianna. She filled a little wading pool for Pignic and she loves it but as soon as she gets in it she poops and pees, it’s kind of funny. A good day with random happy moments, but nothing too crazy. It’s annoying because you can never predict if it’ll be a continually sunny afternoon at the beach. Today was hot hot hot and clear clear clear. I kind of kicked myself that I wasn’t at the beach, but maybe tomorrow will follow suit.
