lighter mission

i almost forgot! before dinner, gd realized that the lighter for the gas stove was done. so i had to drag myself off the couch, get dressed again, and go to the corner store.

they were out, but the guy was really busy with other customers and his daughter started yelling for help because she was stuck in a tree and afraid. it took me a few minutes to convince her and her sister to come down and not go up again until their dad was around...

i picked up the lighters from the further corner store, and on my way back walked past the bookstore so i ducked in to see if they had any maps. they had one, but it wasn't quite good enough.

the woman behind the counter was being awkward, but there was something familiar about her (and her awkwardness) and i eventually asked her if she'd studied english lit, and when, and although she claims she doesn't remember me at all i now definitely remember taking classes with her!

so that was entertaining.
