I decided against getting the truck at this time. I will wait until things are safer economically. I do not think the deals will be going away any time soon with so many people unemployed.
The Gymnast was supposed to come over yesterday afternoon. I received this text around 1:30 p.m.
Gymnast: Okay, so I've been up all night. I'll still come to see you but not till later. I have to bail Gypsy out of jail. (Gypsy is the female friend she went to Europe with).
Bathwater: I am sure there is a good story there.
Gymnast: I wasn't even with her. I was home in bed and got a call at like 1:00 a.m.
Bathwater: Well, good, you don't need to be going back to jail. Of course, neither does she. What was she doing?
Gymnast: She was parked smoking, and someone called the cops on her. They found one pill in her car.
Later did not materialize. I am sure she is still dealing with getting Gypsy free. I have this theory. I am just speculating, but I get the feeling that the Gymnast and Gypsy are more than just friends. The Gymnast had a boyfriend before, a want-to-be rapper that overdosed back in November, but she has told me she is not looking for one now. Gypsy does not have a boyfriend either. I am going to ask the Gymnast next time she comes over.
I am glad it is Friday. Work has been slow. My customers are on furlough or working from home. Even the latter seems absent. I am trying to trade the cost of getting my friend Sam's bike tuned up and a beer for a haircut. I think that will make me feel more human than a new truck.
Interesting convo. Maybe they are more than friends.
ReplyDeleteI have learned a certain subset of young people always come with drama. There is a reason I call the Gymnast the nickname Trouble.
Deleteall this time has me experimenting, too. I want the Chris Cuomo Smiths-fan haircut in three months. I want to be a reddit rapper. I want to taste beer again, maybe it won't be bitter this time...
ReplyDeleteTink thinks it is just typical 20 year old girl shit and I am crazy.
