And Job #3

Kade @akruser13 (475) • Los Angeles, California 27 Mar 22

I'm clearly determined to remain mostly self-employed. Or at least managing my own schedule. I've started driving as a Shipt Shopper. It's sort of the same concept as Doordash or Instacart or Uber, etc. Mostly I'm delivering...

Got a New Mini Fridge!

Kade @akruser13 (475) • Los Angeles, California 19 Mar 22

I've always had a mini fridge in my room. Keep in mind I've always lived with several roommates so there isn't enough space in the kitchen fridge for a lot of stuff. My old one I've had for around ten years and it had a teeeeeny...

Where Did My Day Go???

Kade @akruser13 (475) • Los Angeles, California 15 Mar 22

How is it noon already? Man. I envy folks who don't do Daylight Savings. I just looked at the time and realized it's already lunch. I feel like I've only been awake for an hour. California voted out Daylight Savings and yet here...

My brother from up in WA flew down to San Diego on a whim with his girlfriend. They had flight vouchers they needed to use before they expired. It's about a two hour drive from me so I was back and forth on going (because, you...

Kade @akruser13 (475) • Los Angeles, California 6 Mar 22

Dear Journal, We have been without internet for a dangerous 28 hours. The natives are getting restless. We had to resort to such drastic measures as watching old, expired DVDs just to get by. We were lucky to have found them. I...

My Room Smells Like Froot Loops!

Kade @akruser13 (475) • Los Angeles, California 3 Mar 22

I have these wax melter things instead of candles because I have animals and I'm afraid of starting fires. I tried a new scent today. It's supposed to be orange buttercream (I like my room smelling like food, don't judge me.) I...

Today, for the first time in weeks, I don't have anything that I absolutely have to do. So now I'm looking at all the things I want to do and am getting that bit of neurodivergent meltdown where it's too overwhelming, so...

Saw Cyrano Yesterday

Kade @akruser13 (475) • Los Angeles, California 25 Feb 22

If you like the play this wasn't actually a bad adaptation. The events stuck fairly close minus a few details. The one thing that stood out most was that -- surprise! -- the movie was a musical! I did not know this going into it,...
