There is nothing better than a relationship with someone who will sit you down when you are about to drown in your daily stresses; who will walk through them with you one by one until each one is acknowledged and\/or resolved, and remind you that everything will be ok. And that in fact, everything is better than it&#8217;s ever been, your vision just gets blurred sometimes. It&#8217;s not just an amazing skill, it&#8217;s reflective of someone who understands you really, really well. I am so lucky to have him in my life.<\/p>\n<p \/>Yesterday I had to have a day off or blood would have run in the streets. I think it worked out well for all involved. I hung out in the sun, I talked, I knitted a sock and a sweater (well, parts of them), and I didn&#8217;t do a single bit of work. I&#8217;m feeling much better today.<\/p>\n<p \/>The big highlight of my afternoon was the laundromat. Yes, indeedy. See, I let my laundry build up way too much. So I had the option of taking it to my house and having to stop back every 45 minutes all day long in betwixt errands and such, or I could take it to my mom&#8217;s and sit there for hours and hours, OR I could just gather a million quarters and do it all at once at the laundromat. So that&#8217;s what I did. I went to the huge one in Uptown, crammed all my stuff into three commercial-sized washers, and got out my knitting. Within moments, I had a friend.<\/p>\n<p \/>Her name was Stephanie, and she traded me amusement for quarters. It went something like this:<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<div class='small'><i>her:<\/i> Two quarters.<br \/><i>me:<\/i> What?<br \/><i>her:<\/i> Two quarters!<br \/><i>me:<\/i> Oh! Um&#8230;. here. (she rushes off to play video games, then returns)<br \/><i>her:<\/i> Two quarters.<br \/><i>me:<\/i> How old are you?<br \/><i>her:<\/i> &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..Seventeen.<br \/><i>me:<\/i> And what grade are you in?<br \/><i>her:<\/i> First! I have five boyfriends!<br \/><i>me:<\/i> Are they cute?<\/div>\n<p \/>So we talked for the couple hours I was there. She loaded and unloaded my laundry for me. She put quarters in the machines, in exchange for a couple extras here and there. She showed me the <i>right<\/i> way to fold shirts, because I was doing it all wrong. She held Scotty&#8217;s boxers over her head and yelled, &#8220;Are these your honey&#8217;s?&#8221; She taught me some Spanish. She asked me to explain over and over how I could possibly <i>not<\/i> have to go to school anymore. She asked me to buy her everything she saw on TV.<\/p>\n<p \/>I ended up spending $8 on laundry and $5 on video games for her and her little brother. Oh! And she asked me to take a picture of her, which you&#8217;ll find <a href='http:\/\/www.agirlabouttown.com' target='mylovermadethisforme'>here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p \/>So now I&#8217;m gonna say bye and then add a bunch of PS-style notes. Just because.<\/p>\n<p \/>Bye!<br \/>Jenni<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<div class='small'>1. Scotty put a TON of awesome new stuff on the server. Check it.
