After I left the library I leisurely walked toward Erica's apt. I stopped in Delmart and bought a pack of cigarettes. I had left a barely eaten bag of Munchos there for Mandy but she didn't take them home. Steve was there and gave me the bag back. I walked down the street with a bag of Munchos.
I stopped in Circle Of Friends. I stopped in Circle Of Friends. http://www.examiner.com/top-news-in-milwaukee/delavan-welcomes-circle-of-friends-location Mandy's mother runs that store and it just opened. I wanted to check it out. I was instantly attracted to the store. Mandy's mother, I forget her name, was playing "Mambo Italiano" by Dean Martin on the CD player. Any place that plays Dean Martin has to be ok. I walked around the store and talked with Mandy's mother. I need a blanket and one was available for the asking price of $3.00. Mandy's mother said she'd let it go for 50 cents. There was only one other person in the store. It looked like she was checking it out too. I offered Mandy's mother some Muncho's. She took some and loved them. I gave her the back. She said I could take some candy bars. I took one Mallow Cup. I gave her $1.00 for the blanket and left with it.
I stopped in The Smoke Shop. A delivery of tubes was coming in when I was. The same Fed Ex woman who delivers to Radio Shack delivered the tubes. I talked to Dave and Erin. Dave said he would work on any machine for free regardless of where it was purchased. How cool is that? I've known Dave and Erin for almost 20 yrs. now. They're still cool. It's like they haven't aged. They still look the same too.
After I talked with them for a while I went up to Erica's apt. She was there. I basically went to sleep right away on her bed. I woke up when Sheldon came over, which was about an hour and a half later. He left to get some liquor and took a shower. I got out of the shower and shot up. Sheldon had returned. Erica had invited him over for dinner yesterday. She invited Julie, his girlfriend, over too but she couldn't come because she was sick. I find it kinda odd that a man would leave his ill girlfriend to go over to another woman's apt. for dinner but whatever. Erica had made enough food for at least 4 people since Brad was expected too. Brad showed up but left right away. He said someone else was making him dinner. I was offered food and took advantage of the offer. Erica made hamburgers but there were no buns. We adorned the patties with various condiments and ate them with a fork. The patties were under cooked. I didn't eat mine. I made some excuse. I don't like eating undercooked ground meat. It's just too dangerous. Erica and Sheldon ate theirs though. I left.
I walked to Delmart and dropped off my blanket and the other shit I was carrying around. I then went to Family Dollar and bought shampoo, hydrogen peroxide, and petroleum jelly. I dropped that off a Delmart. I went to Sunmist Cafe. My usual booth was taken so I sat one booth away. Jessica was working. I ordered a veal cutlet dinner. After I ate it I went to work at Delmart.
I relieved Chad. He asked me if I heard anything about someone getting stabbed at Sprts City, I hadn't, I asked the emplyees from there when they came in. None of them heard anything about that. I just put it down as another bullshit rumor. The night was steady. I did all the duties. Maranda stopped but she didn't stay long.
After I closed the store I walked over to the office, carrying all my shit. I had the blanket, all the shit I got at Family Dollar, my towel, and a casserole dish I had brought to Delmart on Sun. so I could wash it. The door of the building was locked. Nick Stratton's car was parked in front so I knocked on the window, no aswer after 2 mins. I knocked again. This time he answered the door. I just sat in Nick Kilkenny's office and talked to Nick Stratton. Corey just sat in the large center area. After a few minutes Nick Kilkenny showed up. I loaded my shit into the station wago and we Nick K., Corey, and I got in the car. Carly was already in the car. Nick K. drove me home. I was dropped off on the road and carried my shit to my trailer. When I got in I heard a messege from Audra. It was left yesterday. She sounded in dire straights. I'm pissed at her but I hope she's ok.
