"Eyes of Steel and Heart that Burns..."

Your Soujin, ladies and gentleman, did a hundred-percent day. Yes, your Soujin, your very own small-and-squeaky smiley-faced Soujin. A hundred-percent day. This means that she saw every single one of her people at work. Not half, not most, not ninety-nine percent, but all. All the halls, all the people.

^________________________________________________^

And then she drove to Newport, worked out for an hour, checked the Rite Aid to see that it had everything she needed, and came home and cleaned up the kitchen.

It is also worth noting that she is still alive, and has presents to buy for so many people it's ridiculous (Amy at support group, Kathy in HR, Marianne at the library--).

Also. This morning she did not eat, which resulted in her being given a twenty-dollar bill and sent to the Strawberry Square mall-thingy to get herself lunch. So she went out, bravely, feeling wind-blown and wonderful, and got herself a six-inch sub at Subways, and the lady at the Subways gave her a free white-chocolate-chip macadamia nut cookie, which she took home for Waen, because they are Waen's favourite kind.

And then Soujin scoped out the Hallmark at Strawberry Square, which has everything you could possibly imagine except more of it, and she kind of wants to take Zara and Lillie there, since it has musical cards where you open them and they start playing things like Stand By Me and I Will Survive, and are therefore hilarious.

On the way out, she bought chocolate-covered raisins for her mother. She had a whole twenty-dollar bill.

(She almost bought roses from the man selling them on the street--big pink velvety roses with water on their petals--but she remembered it was not her twenty dollars, so she took it back. But she wanted to buy them and take them in to work and give them to everybody.)

Also, Delores- and Gail!visits both went v.v.v. well.

And she managed to avoid her boss almost entirely, so that she did not get shouted at; and she won a smile from Diane and from Betty, who almost never smile; and made Gayle laugh, and Connie said she was awfully glad that Soujin came in.

What a wonderful, wonderful world.

--Oh, and let me edit. More good things. To-morrow Soujin will finally get to sleep in, which will be wonderful, since she's exhausted, and neither she nor her mother nor her sister have anywhere to go or any tasks to complete, so they shall be able to spend the whole lovely day together doing something that hopefully involves air conditioning. eeee!

>_>

you're looking at a pair of gals who're talk of the town--whenever there's a party, yeah, you'll find us around--

Zara and Lillie? Few last-minute trip questions.

Firstly, what time are you getting in? XD I know it's five-something, but I can't remember when exactly, and it'll definitely help with picking up if I know when to be there.

Secondly, how does day-tripping in Strawberry Square after going to the museum sound? See Hallmark store comments in the post below.

Thirdly, what time are you leaving? No, I have no idea. ^^;;; I think it's three-something for both of you, and this raises a few more questions. Labour-day is the Juniata Fair, which we go to every year because Grandma liked it and had us take her every year before she died. The question is, would you like to leave late and go to the fair, or earlier than planned and avoid it, or we can go with the original time and get there late, which wouldn't be a problem for us because none of the real activity (i.e., the rides) starts until six anyway (what we do prior to six is look at the displays, of which there are kajillions--after the requisite viewing of the OMG CUTE cows, sheep, goats, pigs, bunnies, and whatever 4-H brings in, we go to the vegetable house, where they judge produce; the flower house, where they judge flowers; and then the assorted house, where they judge everything from quilts to cake to artwork to canned cherries--as well as the Random Evangelical People who if you watch their twenty-minute religious video will give you free face-painting. the Juniata Fair is probably one of the more wonderful things that happens in early September. XD)

These are the questions. Answer ye!

we'll see you around--see you around--see you around--
