Hey noodle what did you do today?

Well I woke up at around 10ish because black kitty jumped into bed with me, and we both went to sleep. I had a dream my frand Kaye started talking to me again, but he seems MIA for good. :C

I woke up around 11ish and after getting ready I headed to Walmart for some goods. I stopped at Wendy's and got a burger with fries and a 4 pack of spicy nugs, and tho I asked for a cherry cola I think I got a Dr. Pibb...That's fine too! After eating I went to Walmart and got mum an external hard drive, then got myself some pants and a belt and some shampoos and some stuff to make a flower eye-patch!

After getting my goods I headed home, but since it was such a lovely Autumnal day I decided to take a longer route home...Though I will say the route wasn't solely for the sake of the drive.

All throughout elementary, middle, and high school, there was a kid who was in some of my classes, and he was a bit of a bully. Not always, but being an only child to a very wealthy couple, his brash ways and need to insult others in order to boost his own ego always felt wrong. I won't say much about him, but I will say that in middle school, the darkest chapters in my life to date, his bullying almost drove me...

...Anyway, high school came and though he was still quite shitty, his presence was greatly reduced...And he wasn't always bad. He befriended me in 8th grade when we had a boring class together. He befriended me when I was forced to be in PE in 9th grade. He played Diablo II with me. It was a complicated relationship.

The reason I recount him here is because in college he got into a car wreck and died. I think alcohol was involved. This was back in 2013. He was buried in his church's cemetery and I had never visited his grave. Even before heading to Florida, I recall drunkenly telling my friends I wanted to visit it, but I never did.

Today I did. It was a cool day and the roads took me past a geocache I remember grabbing in the winter on my way home from college. I pulled into a little road and parked beside the cemetery. It took me a few moments to brace myself, but I got out and wandered amongst the graves.

And there it was...His memorial bench still had a faded statuette of Mario and a 1-UP (dark humor?). There were plaques dedicated to his hobbies: golf and scuba. I just kinda sat there. I recounted a few good times we had, but only focused on the good. The situation called for pure grace of heart. I forgave any ills he may have committed, and just hoped that peace permeates his memory, soul...Whatever.

I drove on, passed through Aurora, and headed home. I went downstairs and backed up my computer, then I went outside and transplanted a lot of my succs into the big pot. I even gave mum one of my succs for her to plant in a cup she has! <3

After, I ate some chili and then we headed outside and made a bonfire. After about 2 hours we went inside and played 5 crowns (I got 2nd place, but dad, in 3rd, got like 250 points! Hecc!). I headed downstairs and played craftmines for far too long while watching tubes, then headed to bed around 3:30.

I hope everyone has a plant-transplant day! <333
