Today after another yum-yum banana dough smoothie (day three!), I decided I'd walk to the closest grocery store. I was a little hesitant, because I figured the trek might be a little sketchy. The quickest, most direct route involves going under a bridge and following an old railroad line for a bit, but the road is relatively busy and there are lots of seafood businesses along the way since it follows the water. And I was heading out around noon-time, so I thought there'd be less miscreant-ness, right? Oh, mannnnn. Four male-driven cars honked at me, two (M)assholes yelled from their windows at me, and I came across a used syringe that I almost stepped on. Oh, New Bedsy. It was nice to get in an hour walk and the sun felt beautiful, but there's no way I'd do it again. I really miss being able to walk around, free from catcalling and y'know, needles. I don't think I'm asking too much.
Anyways, the bitter taste in my mouth regarding the walk went away because I ran into Serena on the jaunt home and CHECK OUT HER NEW FRIEND!
She was just bringing him home from the pet store! This little guy is super tiny, which means super cute! Still currently name-less, but she's thinking of a literary character name to go with the current theme around here. Her fish's name is Kurt Vonnegut and I named my purple beta Gilberto Freyre to accompany Mr. Bennet. I'm a strong advocate of rabbits as pets! They're super independent and quiet, but lovable, too. This little man's the cutest.
