May 21st, 2025: My only ‘weekday’ of the week (as in I don’t have any work or volunteering to do) so I started off my day by uploading my daily Biblejak. It was kind of drizzling all throughout the day. So I took the bus to this place where another bus route ended and then immediately got on the second bus, it took over an hour for it to go to the end and while I talked with this girl on snapchat who told me about her new place that she was moving into soon (same girl I invited to the event that happens today) and that she wanted to also visit my new place. There was also this discussion in the family groupchat:
<Good Morning Coach Garnet! Congrats! What formation did you use and how did you approach the match psychologically? - Dad
<Very impressive! - Mom
<Gemerson, I checked out that organization on their website. Very impressive with the work they are doing. Good for you! - Mom
<Ditto here! Sounds like you can help make a difference especially in these times! - Dad
<Garnet are you up yet? - Dad
<Now I am - Sister
<4-5-1 then switched to a 3-5-2 - Sister
<Interesting choice given the score. Please keep a coach's log to track your success. - Dad
I finally got off the bus once it was all the way in the south of the county. I walked over to the Pick N Save and browsed around for a while until deciding to get some sushi and this Japanese melon soda for my lunch, I had to walk around for a while to find a good place to sit and eventually decided on sitting outside of this McDonalds, I sat under this shade thinking I wouldn’t be wet but they used a mesh to let sunlight in. I wiped off this green plastic block used as a seat and kneeled on it in typical Japanese fashion. I had rain occasionally drop on my tray and I just ate it as fast as I could. I got up and back on the bus while finishing my drink. James and I discussed paying for an upgraded Internet plan through Venmo. I took the bus all the way back to its northern starting point and then instantly hopped over to the first bus because I got super lucky. I walked home and then played some more modded Terraria in the meantime. I decided to get dressed for Wednesday mass. I hopped on the bus and then walked over to the place where dinner was usually served but it was locked despite the lights being on. I asked the girl who promised me she would be here this week if she would come and she said she can’t because she needs to pack. I knew that she was going to invent an excuse to not come and I was right. I took a short walk and eventually came back to be let in by Father Malachi. I cleaned up the place a bit when Malachi asked me where I worked and I told him. He remembered and asked me if I went to the original owner’s funeral so I told him that I didn’t because I had German class then. I was told to look out for a car bringing food and eventually I gave the signal:
“We got a car coming!”
So Father Malachi came out and brought in the food. There were 6 total people that came to the event, not including the priest but including Sideburns. We talked about how the numbers dropped due to people leaving after college was done and eventually my confirmation priest came over so I asked him:
“How does it feel knowing that you are going to Rome soon?”
He replied:
“It’s an assignment.”
I eventually made my way over to the church and got in line for confession. The girl in front of me gave me a weird look so I just gave her the death stare to deal with her. After a bit the priest finally arrived and we made our way through confession. My confession was short and the priest talking to me had it short so I just left after a bit to pray my decade of the rosary for my penance. I made my way back and sat all the way in the front. Naomi wasn’t there but Sideburns was sitting next to his cousin and Elizabeth was nearby. Sometimes there are these three nuns that come, one’s super old and needs a cane, the other one is slightly younger, and the third one is Black, the oldest one gave me a mean look which made me unhappy with her. There was this other girl who would go up to do the readings later on that I glanced at and she gave me a fake smile, which just sat in my mind, I have never known her or interacted with her before yet people are clearly talking about me, I wanted it to fucking stop immediately. I just sat in silence during the prayer before the actual mass started. The main presider was the priest from the Thursday Eucharistic adoration who introduced me to Norah. His homily was on Catholic flirting and dating, so I will be calling him Father Valentine. One Saint he mentioned during his homily was José Luis Sánchez del Río (March 28th, 1913 – February 10th, 1928) and him being the first saint photographed during his martyrdom. But Either I’m misremembering things, or he got José Ramón Miguel Agustín Pro Juárez otherwise known as Blessed Miguel Pro (January 13th, 1891 – November 23rd, 1927) mixed up with Sánchez. He said he was going to be re-assigned to Colorado in two weeks but I was glad he was giving the homily instead of that priest from last week. There were only 3 priests today as compared to the usual 4, Father Valentine, Father Malachi, and this newly ordained priest (not the one I had given my confession to). We got in line to receive communion. I went back and then we walked over to the meeting place, I knew where it was so I held open the door for others to come, the girl who read for that day thanked me and I whispered to her:
“I know what a fake smile is.”
I held it open for a bit more before finally heading in, I first talked to Sideburns and his cousin before walking around a bit, I talked with Elizabeth and then wandered around because I felt blown off by everybody until this guy named Quinn decided to talk to me, we talk a bit and then I go over and encounter this one girl who I meet that has been going to this event for 4 years and told me she just graduated high school and that she planned to study architecture. I then decided to try to get Sideburns, his cousin, the architecture, and Elizabeth to talk together and them along with a few other people, we formed an ellipse and the topic of this dance happening on Friday was brought up, this other girl was complaining about how guys didn’t ask girls to dance anymore and she mentioned that when girls are all grouped up guys wouldn’t actually ask them to dance normally, but only do as a dare, I tried to intercede.
“From our perspective…”
I said it two times but they just ignored me and I got so frustrated that I went elsewhere, I wasn’t encountering any hostility beforehand. I got a strawberry shortcake and ate it while I saw the newly ordained priest give out blessings, I got one from him and then walked back over to Elizabeth asking if she drives near where my house is on her way home, she said she didn’t so ended up talking to this cuter woman about this mission service and half about her life, I foolishly felt confident and asked her for her number and she told me it would be better to install this app, I installed it but never opened it and the moment she got distracted with talking to Elizabeth, I sneak-dashed out of there and walked home, the bus skipped my stop before I could even cross the street to get to it so I just walked home and along the way, I smelled some Indian guys while they were smoking all the way from the porch of their house. I got home and had a shot of limoncello before taking a shower and falling asleep.

May 22nd, 2025: Start of the workweek today, I set my alarm for 8:00am but I woke up a bit later than usual because it was so silent, I went over to the convenience store to get some cereal from the store and got a discount on cocoa pebbles, I went back and had that for breakfast. I got dressed and made my way to the bus stop and got on it. At work when I got there, Max, Jesse, John, and Will were all dealing with this huge delivery and I clocked in to help put it away. I helped bring stuff to the warehouse before a second delivery of items came in, this time it was an extremely large amount of boxes of olive oil. John and I had to take 3 pallets of boxes and put them on the shelf, I would hand them to him and he would put them up, when I was coming back with the second pallet, he was on a call with someone and said:
“Love you bye!”
So I speculate on who could this be, I just asked him then:
“Wait who were you talking to?”
He elaborated:
“Oh I was just talking to my girlfriend, I was asking her if she wanted me to get some subway sandwiches to eat for dinner on the way home.”
“Oh that’s super nice!”
We finished up and then I went down to stock the beverage cooler aisle. My first break was my lunch break and I was super hungry so I got an entire pizza for my order, I ended up eating half of it for my lunch break and then got back to work. I decided to give Mr. Blundstone a slice of my pizza and I later saw Tiffany. My next task that I had to do was wiping down the windows outside and while I was doing it I just kept hearing this shouting. I look to see it is none other than the infamous Cookie herself shouting at everything and everyone. I saw this Black guy walking in my direction past Cookie, when he got near I asked:
“Did she yell at you?”
He joked:
“Like she always does!”
I replied:
“Classic Cookie!”
I got done outside and started washing the glass inside, when I got done with one part, Tiffany had removed some stuff so that Jesse could clean in this place that hadn’t been cleaned in a long time, I helped him out for a bit and then got back to my regular job. When I was done with my regular job I talked with Paula for a bit to try and crack into her department. She told me about her not working on Friday because she was moving to this apartment. She showed me where and I thought it was pretty nice. Once I got finished with all of my tasks for the day, I started my break and then worked on closings for today. I texted James about potentially heading to IKEA next week to buy furniture for my new place. I started on all of my tasks and took quite a while to finish them all up. When I had the task of getting the umbrellas from outside and bringing them inside, I got two in before Tiffany decided to help me out with my task. I still had two slices of my pizza left so I asked her department if one of them wanted it and Tiffany said yes first so I gave it to her. I had to let Mr. Blundstone back in when he went out while I was clocked out so I let him in and then ran over to the bus stop to catch my bus. I got on and took it home, because my roommate had left such a mess in the kitchen. I just bought a bowl of ramen for dinner and cooked it in the microwave. I gamed for a bit and finally took a shower before going to sleep.

May 23rd, 2025: Friday, I had cereal and coffee for breakfast today and got dressed pretty fancy for the dance after work, dark grey dress pants, my knitted nylon rope belt, and my other blue and white button-up, I also packed my fancy dress shoes in my bag. I then hopped on the bus, when I got to work I started helping out with the pull that Jesse, John, Will, and Max were working on, I immediately got a bunch of compliments.
“Are you dressed for a wedding or a funeral?”
Asked Max. I didn’t get to tell him because I had to go upstairs to help with the load. I got my next task on the list which was to work on the beverage aisle, over there Lebanon asked me what I was dressed for and I told him about the church dance event and he congratulated me. I finished up with the beverage aisle and then completed two more tasks before I started on my lunch break. Mr. Blundstone asked me about my fancy outfit and I told him about the dance thing. I got my Asiago pasta salad paid for and took my break. When I got off my lunch break I was still feeling hungry but I continued my work, while I was upstairs one of the managers complimented me on my outfit:
“You’re looking sharp today!”
I replied:
“You’re not!”
She did that gasp thing and laughed a bit saying:
“Yes I am Gemerson, look at this outfit.”
I then went out on my tasks and finally took my second break. I was still feeling super hungry so I bought this bag of zuppole and ate like a fourth of it. Mr. Blundstone was on break at the same time that I was, he asked me why I got dressed and I told him for this dance at this church, he asked what denomination I was and I said Roman Catholic, he told me about him going to this non-denominational school despite his grandparents being Lutheran. I then had Ignatio say to me:
“What’s good my brother! Looking sharp!”
I said:
“Thank you!”
I continued my day and had that one manager say:
“Gemerson said I didn’t look fresh!”
And I got all of my tasks done early, because I didn’t have Jesse around near the time I was to clock out, I took an extended break and found out fAsherah wasn’t here today. While on my break I noticed that I had missed a call from Quoc and I got a text which said:
<Scratch that, I have to meet with the Landlady so I won’t be able to give you the keys.
I texted him:
>Ok
And then he immediately called, he said that he couldn’t give me the keys on Sunday and that I would have to wait until May 30th to grab the keys and that if I needed to move some stuff over beforehand, I would have to call James to let me into the basement. I did that and put my phone on the charger and then got started on my closings. One of the other guys in my department had stayed late to help me with closings so I got done with them all at roughly 6:35pm, I then helped out another department with floor scrubbing and finally clocked out so I wouldn’t miss the bus down to the church. The bus arrived at my stop at 6:45pm and I thankfully got on it. I took it all the way over and then started walking, on my way there some black kids were playing with a ball and one of them yelled:
“Tell Jamal to stop texting his femboy girlfriend!”
Jamal wasn’t happy:
“Bro shut yo bitch add up!”
I couldn’t stop laughing, I eventually got into the church and was let in by this bald guy, I went to the bathroom to try and get changed into my dress shoes. I ended up meeting this guy named Adam who was getting a masters in business In Iowa, he was attending the Traditional Mass that was going on here, he informed me that it is practically all they do here. I was so overjoyed that they had a time which worked out for me. The wait was so long it was bothering me when Adam finally went inside the bathroom, I just decided to change my shoes outside because I didn’t see anybody else nearby. I went inside the chapel while they were praying and sat in the same row as Adam for a bit until I decided to exit out the doors, outside there was this acolyte who was probably no younger than 55 who spoke with a French accent:
“Thank you very much!”
He stated,
“Thank you too and God bless”
I replied.
“God bless!”
I walked into the place where the dance was being held. I put my bag of zuppole on the The only person that I knew who I ended up encountering was the girl that Gabriel worked with, she had brought along two friends, one called Neera and Neera’s friend, Neera was wearing a dress that was very medieval Ukrainian, I made a joke about how women had such uncreative middle names because it was almost always Marie, Ann, or Rose. We played some songs and I got acquainted with the other men there, who made me feel underdressed. I first asked Neera’s friend to dance with me and she accepted, the first dance we tried was a waltz but I couldn’t get the hang of that even as she was giving me tips, I did the bow thing and then drank some of the sparkling water they had, 4 flavors, red was strawberry, yellow was lemon, green was lime, and blue was original, I ended up having all four over the course of the dance as I saw a lot of partner dances, where the guys would ask a girl to dance for one to two songs and I never saw a girl passing a guy down. I then went to dance again with Neera’s friend again and got slightly better. It was too weird to dance with the same girl a third time in a row so I decided to ask Gabriel’s friend to dance, we practiced the box step, I got a bit messed up with what foot to use but I finally got the hang of it.

Gabriel’s friend had pretty noticeable body odor and after two songs I went out, I went into the drink hall and finally met the priest who runs the Traditional Latin Mass, he also had a very noticeable French accent who I would guess to be in his 30s, he was friendly and I then went in when it was time for the line dance. There wasn’t enough men for all the women (Probably like 10 extra) but I got partnered up with this short girl, I asked her this obvious question:
“What’s your name?”
She replied:
“Marie, like the middle name!”
I laughed.
“I just had this conversation previously about how a lot of women have Marie, Ann, or Rose as a middle name!”
I noticed at that moment that Elizabeth had come in and I waved to her. Marie and I danced a bit as I forgot the dance instructions already. Once we were told to switch, I decided to head out so that another guy who hadn’t danced with anybody the first time could dance with Marie. I went out a bit and saw these two Hispanic ladies cleaning down the hall. When I went back I noticed that nobody had chosen to dance with Neera so I gave her my hand and we danced to this song, I wasn’t as good but I got better, a song came on but I couldn’t get into the beat and she had pointed that out so the moment I was distracted I got out of there, I literally chilled down by going back and forth to the drink bar and grabbing a piece of ice and munching on it a lot. I saw the French priest talking to the cleaning ladies in Spanish. I went back in and saw Adam dancing with Neera, I sat next to Elizabeth in her wheelchair and said to her:
“Looks like both of us can’t dance!”
We talked a bit and I asked her if she ate the zuppole, she didn’t but tried some and liked it. I walked around a bit and waved one time at Neera. Another song came on which was La Vie en rose (the Édith Piaf version) that this one girl said was her favorite. Throughout the night I was watching the foot movement of others without sexual intent to see how they did it and got better at dancing by just remembering how they did it. Some of the guys who were discerning the priesthood and I felt sad for the women who might have been attracted to them. I eventually gathered the courage to ask Neera to dance again and apologized to her:
“I’m so sorry for running off because I was a bad dancer!”
She was happy:
“It’s ok!”
I finally got the hang on the swing and we were swinging all around. She taught me this pretzel swing thing and I was still kind of confused. I did the thank you bow to her, I asked Gabriel’s friend if she could give me a ride home once the dance was done, she agreed. I danced as best as I could with Elizabeth. The final song had went and gone and the dance was done at 10:45pm. I got in the car with Gabriel’s friend, Neera, and Neera’s friend, I sat next to Neera in the back and we discussed ourselves, she did a Liberal Art degree at this Catholic college in Wyoming despite growing up in a super small town in upstate New York near Lake Ontario. In the town she said she didn't need a car because everything was on Main street, which was '5 traffic lights long'. She had 4 brothers and 3 of them did Computer Science like I do, and when I asked for her phone number, she said that she didn’t have a phone at all because at her college, she did not need a phone and there wasn’t any phones on campus. Her campus was super small people and size wise, only having 180 people in her class. She was playing with her braided hair a lot and said she usually writes to those she wants to keep in touch with. I asked for her email but she refused because she felt like we would just fall out of touch pretty fast. She had her birthday pretty late in the school year and had to serve as designated driver because of it. I finally got to my home and said my goodbyes. I took a shower and then went to sleep.

May 24th, 2025: Back to normal work today, I got up at 7:00am and had cereal with milk for breakfast. I started to get packed for moving out and then I got to the bus stop. The bus stop had this woman wearing a hat at it so I went back to my house and got a hat to wear. I got off a bit early and walked into this convenience store to buy some lunch, there was a homeless Black man outside accosting everyone.
“Excuse me sir! Do you have any change?”
He asked me and this other guy that went in. I bought one of those microwavable cups of Mac n cheese and two packets of gum, when I walked out, I timed my exit so that this other guy was getting talked to while he was leaving. I got into work and started off the day by working on the beverage aisle, I got done with that and then got to cleaning the bathrooms. I noticed that fAsherah still wasn’t there today, so I asked one of the cashiers if she had quit.
“No, she’s just sick!”
He replied. I went on with my day and talked to Paula a bit more. Jesse didn’t assign me enough tasks again. For lunch I heated up the Mac n cheese in the microwave while I overheard the new employee in my department watch some anime on his phone. I took the cup out and tried to stir in the dried cheese powder but the black plastic spoons they provided were too flimsy and the heads would bend a good amount. I ate the half mixed Mac n cheese and then bought some cookies for everyone to eat, the bag was in the break room. I continued my tasks and then decided to go into the office to see Jesse cleaning out behind the desk, he then asks me:
“Want some half eaten chocolate I found behind the desk? It expired in 2023!”
I jokingly declined. But the interesting thing he found behind the desk was an unopened package for an USB powered LED clock fan, which basically how it works is it has LEDs on one fan blade (red and green for this one) and when it is on, it spins very fast but also turns the individual LEDs on and off very quickly at the precise time so images are formed as the text on a clock, including an hour, minute, and second hand, but no indication of AM or PM. I enjoyed it and took it home. I decided to finally text fAsherah at 3:49pm and had this conversation:
>I brought my 3D why did you quit this week?
<My Friend I Was Poisoned
<The Microbes Got Me .
One additional task that I got assigned by Jesse was to dust off some stuff for Lebanon with this duster that he found, along the way I spotted the new employee and Will talking to each other in Spanish. I dusted for Lebanon and he congratulated me, saying that the new duster was much less worn than the old duster. I started on my closings and while I was doing so, there was this conversation between Matt, Tony, and Jab about something relating to Tony spending time in jail, I didn’t really overhear that much so I would not make any hasty judgments. I finally got out at 6:00pm and took some boxes for packing and took the bus home. When I got home I had started to work on packing up for the day. I checked my Instagram account and I finally got a message back from Henry asking about the Bible study group, he just replied:
<Yeah
Which makes me wonder if I accidentally gave Henry and Punk my original landline number instead of my current phone number, I kind of wanted to ask him that but I decided against it, I watched two episodes of Severance while on my couch, I cooked some chicken nuggets that were in the freezer compartment of the fridge with the Airfryer and drizzled some ketchup over it, I also had some sauerkraut while finally getting the tv in the living room working. I wrote my entry for the day and then took a shower before plugging in the fan and going to sleep, also I didn’t see Enosh all day…

May 25th, 2025: Final day of the workweek today. I woke up and had cereal for breakfast along with some coffee. I got dressed in my good pants but wore a normal shirt. The bus line I usually went on magically decided to have a skip in the schedule for the bus I usually got which resulted in me using the other bus. I walked to work from the bus stop and then clocked in to do my regular task. While I was working on the drink cooler and pushing one of the glass bottles to the front, the first one shattered and dripped juice down on all of the others. I grabbed the biggest intact portion of the bottle and brought it to the back, marked it off, and then threw it in the garbage. I got some disinfectant wipes to grab the rest of the glass shards, but one of them pierced me in my left thumb and caused some bleeding. I looked everywhere for a band aid until I checked one of the cashier’s places and found one, it was too big for my thumb and more fit for putting on a scab you got on your knee because you tripped on the curb while running. It didn’t really stay on so I fixed that by wearing a glove. I ended up seeing fAsherah and asked her why she was sick. She told me:
“I had an issue with my kidneys!”
I then continued on my sweeping task and also the cleaning upstairs task that I had. This one employee who always plays dubstep whenever he’s upstairs and packing food, he gave me a roasted sesame stick for free. When I got done with the cleaning I had to water some plants outside. I decided to hook up the hose to our power washer outside and asked Jesse if we had any extra oil for the stronger power washer that we had. He couldn’t find any and said that Will usually goes out to buy them. I decided to get lunch first and bought some new cookies. I gave fAsherah one and she liked it. While I was getting to the end of my lunch break fAsherah sat next to me while I was eating some of Bill’s soup. She asked if it was vegetarian and I said yes. I got clocked back in and got all the watering done and then power washed this entrance we had with some caked up piles of salt left over from winter. I got that removed and then just chilled for the rest of my day while trying to find work. Paula accidentally stained her white shirt which she was disappointed with. I emptied the trash for the bakery and got rewarded with a singular fry for my efforts. I had ginger beer because my stomach wasn’t feeling so good. I started on closings. I got a text from Grandma Jane of a video of her cat chirping at the birds outside her window with her saying:
<Now Katnip is talking to the birds!
When I was about to head out. I noticed this container of Strawberry Nesquik milk mix and asked Tony what it was for and he said that we made something that used it and french vanilla coffee creamer as powder for something. He asked me:
“Do you want some strawberry milk?”
But I declined. I clocked out and waited for the bus stop and this old White guy came up to me and said:
“Do you like to party?”
I declined again because I didn’t want to get multiple sexually transmitted infections or a drug addiction. I got on the bus and took it to church, I got in and did some prayers before the mass started. The presided was a 41 year old Latino priest and I gave $10 during the money distribution. Once that was done I went to the grocery store to buy some off brand soda and then took the bus home, I packed a bit more and then watched the final episode of season 2 of Severance. I loved the ending and laughed at the scene with Mr. Drummond. I took a shower and then went to sleep.

May 26th, 2025: Enosh’s final day living here. I woke up and had some cereal and coffee before I started to help Enosh with moving some stuff out. I carried his bed frames and we both carried the couch and futon out to the U-Haul truck that he had rented. We had some issues with getting it out of the door but there was this event that was happening on the other side of the city where there was a Christian Catholic cookout happening. I took the bus down at 11:15pm but I was there a bit early so I did a bit of a walk around to fill out SuperlocalMaps. I saw this Black guy slouching down with his also Black girlfriend pulling him back up. I eventually entered the lawn of the place and saw the missionary guy, he welcomed me and showed me around the place a bit. Including the very crowded library. He started up the grill and then I got told to make some lemonade. I didn’t have enough lemon juice to make it so I asked the missionary if he had anything else and gave me a lime. I cut it into fours and then squeezed them into the pitcher. I cleaned up the place a bit and he thanked me for it. My next task was to work on grilling this package of hotdogs, which I have never done before, the missionary brushed off the grill for me and just told me to roll them around, I put the first ones on and noticed that a few were dirty so he grabbed a tray filled with water to dunk the things in. Some more people came to the event but there ended up being only one woman, Liseuxa, she was from the previous takedown event after Christmastime and she had shown up and said hi to me. I said hi back and she remembered me from the takedown event and the flowers she wanted. The missionary asked her if she could make a grocery run, she said yes and I also asked if she could pick up some lemon juice from the store. She left and I continued to cook all the hotdogs in the package. This other older guy from Chicago came in and took over for me to cook the hamburger patties while holding a beer can in one of those can pouches, near the start of his cooking experience, he let a total of three burger patties slip into the charcoals below but put them back on immediately. He talked about this story of Chicago in the 1990s about this guy at this chicken place that was mad at management and posted an advertisement for free food which caused a giant rush that made the news. Later on he let me finish cooking them and I got all the fallen patties washed off and we sat at a table with the others, including Liseuxa. The conversation turned to Sedevacantists and one of the guys from the Catholic center who acolyted with us (not Mercurius) mentioned people being secretly Sedevacantists in relation to the recent case of the Bishop of the Diocese of Charlotte, Michael Martin, announcing that on July 8th that almost all instances of the Traditional Latin Mass would be banned except for one far away from the city of Charlotte, and in his letter with an excerpt below:
<Effective July 8, 2025, the Traditional Latin Mass will no longer be celebrated at parish churches in the Diocese of Charlotte. In accordance with Traditionis Custodes Art. 3 §2, I am designating a chapel in the diocese where faithful adherents may gather for the celebration of the Eucharist on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation using the Roman Missal of 1962. The chapel set aside for this purpose is located at 757 Oakridge Farm Hwy., Mooresville, North Carolina 28115. The name of the chapel is yet to be determined.
<A priest of the diocese will be appointed as chaplain, to be responsible for celebrating two Sunday Masses and Holy Day Masses using the 1962 Roman Missal at this site. Those who are interested in participating in the Eucharistic celebration in this form will remain active members of their current parishes, where they may continue receiving the sacraments.
Pretty much all of the people were mad at it (the cook guy was on a walk with this dog) and then Sedevacantists came up, I figured out how to detect one so I asked Liseuxa:
“What’s your opinion on the Vatican II council?”
She told me that it was mostly ok except for how they modified all those altars and the insides of churches ended up looking uglier. I agreed with her on how Vatican II had this effect which caused churches to look boring and modern as per other churches built at the time. The missionary then started a game of Croquet (Nine-wicket) with him going first, Liseuxa getting the yellow hammer, and I got the orange hammer, going last. The rules are that you have to hit it through 9 different hoops and get it to the other stake and then go back the other route, you get extra hits for hitting another person’s ball or going through a hoop, the one in the middle you had to go through twice. I was going the worst but when the missionary got back to the starting point first, he decided to play the poison version where you could take players out by intentionally hitting their ball, if the poisoned ball went through a gate, they were out. He then proceeded to wipe out everyone but me in one single turn, but the next turn I got out myself because the curvature of the hill messed me up. I sat out the next round and asked for a broom and dustpan to sweep up the 8 concrete steps. I talked to Liseuxa about the sounds that electric cars made and she said she hated it and just wanted them to make no sounds because she lives next to a highway. There was some music playing and I just hung on the guardrails because I could. I had to leave for this other cookout that I promised Joseph I would go to. I took the bus back home and then called him asking for the address but didn’t get a response, I got home to work on writing my blog entry for the day when Joseph called me telling me the address. I then walked over and said hi to him. It was at the house of one of the choir leaders, whom I will be calling Lang, and I even got to meet their bunny named Fritz, he was alternating between being shy and curious, wanting to be pet and running away from me. That one guy that was going into the military that I met during one of Joseph and I’s dinner nights, his grandma was here and he was playing baseball with his brother. I talked with Lucas a bit before joining the baseball game, I hit it once which was a homerun and then went back to talking with Joseph and the military kid’s grandmother. I talked to the military kid and he said that he might be going to the same college as me. Eventually the military kid left and his brother was coloring in the flag of Australia in this coloring book, very sloppy, I gave him some tips to help him, but a bit later I ended up getting a call from my dad about my plan to go to Jared’s graduation party, while I was in there, the kid kept saying to me:
“Wanna play baseball”
I kept my cool thankfully and discussed taking the Amtrak line to get there and possibly staying at his sister’s place. Lang came in and I said hi to him as he got the kid calmed down. I then overheard Lucas and 2 others talk to Joseph about his picky eating habits, one of the fruits I remember he tolerates is grapes, both green and purple. I eventually left at 7:15pm to start walking home. When I finally got in, I noticed that Enosh had still left some stuff so I texted him:
>There’s still some of your stuff here.
But I never got a response, I took a shower and then went to sleep.

May 27th, 2025: Packing today, I woke up at 6:15am and got dressed in my grey dress pants and one of my blue and white plaid button-downs, I hopped on the bus with my backpack and took it down, it was relatively full but halfway to my stop I realized that I had forgotten my ID card. I did the time card fill out for last Tuesday and then got my chip in. I talked to Seth M and got started by helping with some miscellaneous tasks for IT. When I checked the calendar, it said that this new person was coming in at 9:30am so I was kind of excited. Someone pointed out that Seth M and I both had matching blue and white plaid button-downs and they remarked that it must have been the official IT uniform. At 9:11pm I got a text form Enosh saying:
<Hey, sorry for not getting back to you yesterday. I was on the road all day. I did leave a few things behind. I didn’t want to take the mug because I couldn’t remember if it was yours or mine. You can have it if you want. I also couldn’t take the microwave because my car didn’t have space. If you want you can have it for the summer. Otherwise, maybe we could sell it on Facebook marketplace?
I replied at 9:12am with:
>I don’t need a microwave, I wish you thought this out more. You could have just left some more stuff at your cousin’s place.
He then replied at 9:34am:
<I actually don’t think I could have stored it at my cousins house. Let me ask around and see who would take it. I’m sure I can find someone. Also, if you can text me a picture of it I can put it on Facebook Marketplace.
I was still at work so I couldn’t do anything. My task for the day was to help set up company iPhones and distribute apps for people to use on their phones, I thought it was a waste of money but only some people have it. The new girl finally came in but we didn’t really talk for a bit until I got the card printer set up. I asked the new girl for a professional picture of herself and her preferred job title. She airdropped it to me, which I hadn’t had to deal with in a long time. I talked with her a bit more and found out she was from the city of Daegu in South Korea and was in the same grade as me. She came to my city because it was one of the few exchange programs offered by her high school. I got her the new ID card just before she left at 12:30pm. I then went over to the pizza place and bought lunch there. I got back in time and I noticed a Pakistani family in the lobby past the elevators and holy cannoli they left a cloud of their odor which made me sick. Then this employee whom I will be calling Staples told me about this issue she had with someone putting in staples that were too big for the stapler and got stuck. I decided to use the thing of small staples to scoop the bigger staples out and it worked. She wrote a note telling people to not use the big staples. I chilled out for a bit until Zach A called me into his office to continue working on the data sheet. He had a black suit and white pants. Dude fashionmogged me. I told him that I would not be here for the next week because of my cousin’s graduation party. Later on the topic of his church came up and I asked him where he went, he told me he went to this Assemblies of God church. I got back to my spot and ended up clocking out a bit early so I walked over to the bus stop and then took the bus home. James had texted me about me bringing over some boxes before hand and I texted him at 5:18pm that I was walking over to the place with two boxes now, he gave me the ok and then I walked over, I eventually got there at 5:27pm, texting him to let me in, he did at 5:29pm and I went upstairs and put my stuff in Quoc’s empty room. James talked to me about wanting to make himself some ramen but Quoc took all the pots and pans when he left. We then took his compact Honda over to my house and then loaded it up with more stuff. He parked a bit far from my apartment but he remarked about my Magic the Gathering card collection, he used to play it but hasn’t in a long time. We then drove back and I was even allowed to have some snacks except for the Swedish Fish in the cabinet because James the Greater liked them. I took 3 fruit gummy packages and then walked home and took a shower and went to sleep.
