thursday

at the co-op today, stocking up on my bulk items, i overheard a conversation between one of the employees (whose name i hope is trevor, for not so obvious reasons, but i'm typing my internal monologue so there you have it) and the older blind man he was helping with the bulk goods.
trevor was talking about what i thought was a trip he had planned. savvy little world traveling hipster that he is, trevor was heading to belize. the older man continued to inquire, his line of questioning a little stronger than polite grocery store banter, more like "what is this crazy kid thinking?"
turns out trevor is moving to belize, with his wife/gf, and they are going to build a tree house bed and breakfast. sounds pretty sweet, yeah?
he continues "our goal is to have no affiliation whatsoever with this nation."
hm. a little pretentious. and unrealistic considering a large chunk of the tourists who will be hitting up a belize tree house b&b will likely be american. but it gets a little better. the old man asks what else they plan to do while they're there....
trevor and his wife/gf "will probably travel a lot to europe."
wow trev, europe, that's fanfrickintastic. way to escape the consumerism.
i accidentally laughed out loud and, having reached my pretentious hipster MCL, quickly made my way to the produce.

in all my consumer glory:
i finally fixed (hopefully) my leaky kitchen sink. i've had a bowl under there for a while because i'm not so plumbing savvy but it wasn't a big enough deal to call for help. turns out i'm plumbing savvy enough. yay independence.

at our HOA meeting this week we talked about our roof deck plans. we are ready to go, and our goal is to have it built in time for fleet week! i'm stoked. get ready for a roof deck warming party!
