The Definitive Thread of Unequivocal Boredom

I needed a pair of black trousers, but did not want to spent a lot of money. The trousers I have fit me a little tight. So today, I was thinking about trousers and the style I wanted them to be. 

 

I decided to go up to where the neighborhood shops are. I visited one store, and then thought - well, I can go to Target and the discount stores that are all in the same area.

 

I am walking down the street to the bus stop, and pass by this random second hand store, and outside there is a rack, and guess what? Black trousers and in my size and the style I was thinking about! And guess what? 50% off! The trousers (in the picture below) with the discount were $7.50! And I bought this jacket too! Which was 50% off too - $10.00! 

 

Isn't that something!! I was on my way to the bus to go shop for black trousers...! 

 

 

Isn't that strange! 

 

I was just thinking back to other instances.

 

In June 2019, I flew up to Vancouver to attend the draft. I checked into a hotel, and then went down to the seawall and sat on a bench, looking at the Lions Gate Bridge, skyscrapers, water, etc, and then walked around. While walking, I had this random thought - that I better enjoy this because there is going to be a time that I may not be able to come back and that the border would be closed. Why would I think that, and why would that randomly come into my head? Months later, / almost a year later when the pandemic hit, the border closed for months. I don't remember when the border closed.

 

In January 2020, I went to London, and was thinking about taking a day trip to Paris. By train, it is about two hours. Before the trip, I was so adamant about getting health insurance and thinking that I better have it in case I get sick. And I kept thinking about it and that I need to prepare myself. I was unaware of a pandemic that was about to hit. I got the health insurance, but at the time in my head, I was thinking I need to have this! 

 

It's crazy how things lined up before the pandemic:

 

My cat who was 14.5 years old passed away in December 2019.

I went to London in January 2020.

I adopted George in February 2020.

The pandemic hit in March 2020.

 

It was like someone was looking out for me...!

That's so nice!

 

I have been chillin' around here in Seattle. 

 

Watching Evening Magazine.  They are focusing on Bainbridge Island.  It's so pretty there!  I really like Vashon Island! Vashon is my thing and community oriented.

Lol I used to watch that.  It's surprising how much I used to know about Washington St just by watching the three big channels KOMO, KING and the fox one.  I used to love Almost Live that played after SNL.

I got to tell you this story! 20 years ago, I was walking home from work, and there was a cat waiting by the main door of my apartment building. I let the cat in and the cat followed me to my apartment, so I let the cat in. 

 

I had a boyfriend, and was like - LOOK WHAT I FOUND! 

 

I let the cat out and saw the cat again a few weeks later. 

 

Then I saw flyers all over the neighbor of a lost cat, and the cat was pictured on the flyers!

 

Then one day watching TV, and an Evening Magazine commercial came on, and guess what? !! It was for a segment on the cat featuring the owner and a pet physic trying to track down the cat! 

 

I don't know if they ever found the cat, but I really wanted to tell them about my interaction with the cat!

Shoe shopping! 3 pairs of Sam Edelman shoes!

 

 I bought them 1/2 price at the Nordstrom Rack! Saving $$$ !!

Watching the news and just saw that the passport renewals are long! I need to renew my passport and will probably renew it in September. Good thing my Enhanced ID is good at border crossings. I learned that last week when I went up to Vancouver. 

 

I would like to go to Croatia one day.

I was outside giving my Palm Tree some water, and it’s so hot, even in the shade, but a bit of a nice breeze helped for what little time I sat out there

So I bought 3 pairs of shoes... 2 pairs for me and 1 for her.  

 

George decided that these are her's! 

 

I have not worn these out and about, so they are new and clean, and for her.

Personal space in public areas, watching people - it excites me.

 

 It’s interesting watching people handle personal space by creating it around them.

 

 I just saw many instances of it on the boat just now. People moving to their area from others, someone putting a bag in the seat near them so someone will not sit there, the two people who were sitting beside me moving to empty seats.

 

 I don’t consider public space to be personal space and it doesn’t bother me if someone sits down next to me. I don’t move to create space, but it’s entertaining watching people create personal space.

Yeah, I’m one of those personal space creators. Wasn’t always that way, but after a very uncomfortable experience many years ago, I became one. I was sitting in the back of an empty bus, like the very back row towards the middle when a 500 lb. man gets on the bus and decided to sit in the very next seat to me on my left. The bus was completely empty besides the two of us and could have sat anywhere. Yet, he felt to sit right next to me and because of his massive size, his body was leaning against mine. I was incredibly uncomfortable. I got up and moved towards the front of the bus to find another seat. As I was doing so, this guy got upset with me, and was really offended. He had the nerve to shout “Oooh geez sorry I bothered you!” sarcastically, as if he was the victim. This guy was 500 lbs. I felt enveloped by Jabba the hut, but hey I hurt his feelers. That’s what matters.

That is crazy, sounds like this cat was cheating on its owners and getting meals on the side.
