TSJ 10/13/2025: LOOOONG essay time! (Copied from Discord)
a day ago
So... here's how my day went yesterday. Woke up between 5 and 6 in the morning. Listened to The Lutheran Hour at 6:30 (and yes it's not a full hour, don't know why). When 7am rolled around I started walking to the closest convenient store to fill my bus pass up with a 24-hour ticket. I then walked to the bus stop and had to wait for about 15 to 20 minutes, which wasn't all that bad. The ride was nice and smooth to the city.
When I got to the city, I immediately took a good way to go my first location, Bagels on Greene, and boy did my friend ever make the right choice by going there. It was delicious there! I mean the salmon bagel that I had was good, but the most delicious thing that I had there was a Karnatzel. A Karnatzel is a traditional Jewish beef sausage, and boy when I tasted that for the first time, my heart began to melt. It was like nothing that I have tasted before. It was not spicy, no, but it was so damn good. Anyway, continuing...
My friend and I then both took a shortcut to this grocery store that has been in the market for many many years, but it was my first time there. After that, we both went for a swim, that lasted just over an hour, at his place. I only came in my bathing suit, so getting out of the pool was good. Dried off good and when we got back to his apartment, he let me borrow his sarong due to me hanging up my bathing suit. Dried my towel as well. (End of Part 1)
Part 2 starts off with me being in the apartment. This lasted for a few hours where I shared stuff with him (I had some marshmallow twists and sunflower seeds with me). Later on when it was about 6pm, him and I went out because he needed to pick some stuff up. I went to the pharmacy to pick something up and then I headed to this restaurant that my dad was raving about, and let me tell you... it was nothing to right home about. Sure the fries and 2 different hamburgers were great, but the 2nd burger I didn't have a fun time eating since it was very sloppy. I did stain my Sonic backpack just a little bit from the sloppy mess. And then... DOOM!!! I will tell you what happened in Part 3.
So... yeah I was an idiot for forgetting my own Sonic wallet at the restaurant, I am happy that I checked my pockets and inside my Sonic backpack... I was ALMOST about to get on the bus to go back home. I didn't wanna leave anything behind. I didn't get on the bus although I was so dead tired. I called the restaurant and I am happy to announce that they kept my wallet for me, so I just had to go back.
I had some more time because the bus AFTER 9pm was at 11:30pm, gee wiz, so I used my time usefully and then I went to drink some water at a well-known train station called Gare Centrale. That's when I decided to call a taxi whom I know, but he was unavailable. I went to the bus and waited for 20+ minutes, boarded, and then off to the area closest to where I live. I called for a taxi (not the same one), paid the driver once I got myself home, and yeah... that is about it.
When I got home, though, I spent a bit of time on the computer before fully going to bed. Now I am here writing about this., I am okay. I did NOT want to walk home last night lol. I mean the money was well spent so that's good.
