July 30th, 2024: Pretty nice day today, at work I started off by doing a bit of shelf stocking before I got to do the real fun task, power washing! It initially took me quite a while from when I completed all of my other tasks and was able to do it to when I could actually do it, I was using this gas-powered one that the owner's grandson showed me, after a while of power washing I was able to make a good amount of progress; however, there were certain spots that would just not work at all or you just had to get the nozzle almost touching the concrete for there to be any notable difference. I sadly did not take any before pictures or after pictures, but if you went there the day before, you could for sure tell the difference, with this giant black spot which you could not see the concrete below was made to look much newer, although there were some small black spots that were pretty stubborn and wouldn't get out. After work I took the bus home and sadly had to deal with my roommate until we got back. As it was Tuesday, I went to Bible study night tonight and we read from Galatians and Romans, I also managed to finish reading Deuteronomy while waiting for the Bible study to begin. During the Bible study I noticed that this bigger blonde girl next to me had this book which was a Handbook of Prayers for students, so I asked her where I could get one and she said "Oh you can get it at this Catholic place nearby!" After Bible study, me, her and Elizabeth went over there and we tried to get in but she couldn't because they changed the code, they were nice enough to drop me off at home even though I could easily walk there. When I got home I told them to wait, as there was this running joke about how I had named my first ever plush animal (which was just the Snowman from Raymond Briggs's 1978 book called The Snowman) Snowman and they kept referencing my uncreative name, I brought it out to them and they were delighted at seeing the legend.
