Day 2437 Obstacles, obstacles

15th April 2024

Oh what a sunny day it is, Kelli has a list of places to go, so let’s get started.

Of course we were running late, the clock in the house is running slow, possibly caused by her cramming cotton wool in the back to quiet it down when she had trouble sleeping.

That is still weird to me, electric clocks hardly makes any noise, but she could hear it.

So we were already late. She wanted to go to Plato’s to sell some more of her unworn clothes, but we discovered that Chicago Drive was being dug up, so we had to detour. The trouble with that is everybody has to do the same thing.

A side note, earlier as we drove through town, I noticed this young kid, he looked about twelve, driving a flashy Lexus. I remarked that he must have stolen it, or was a trainee pimp or drug dealer. At that point, Kelli accused me of being a horrible person for making those accusations.

I replied that I’m British, and that’s what we do.

Normally young kids drive cars that look they’ve been in a war zone, and if they don’t have any dents or scratches they will hit a tree so they don’t stand out.

Anyway, because we had to join a long queue on the detour, I noticed this kid in the car in front of us again, I started up the tirade again, which killed a bit of the time we’re were stuck in the queue. Kelli was not impressed because it was now too late to get to Plato’s. She decided to drive straight to her doctors appointment which was the next thing on her list.

We arrived five minutes late, but it didn’t stop him giving her the rough treatment. I find it quite relaxing to watch someone else getting manipulated.

Once that was over we drove, yet again to Hudsonville to collect, from the same house, another piece of free furniture, at this rate we’ll have everything in their house.

It was a heavy bugger, but Kelli had a plan. She had been asked by a customer if we had, or could find a tall dresser, well this was that, hopefully it will be acceptable.

We then drove back to Plato’s for Kelli to deposit her clothes whilst I went for a coffee.

With little of her stuff selected we then drove to HR Block to sort out her tax return.

What a dull place full of dull people doing a dull job, I was glad to get out of there. They used Action office in the most unimaginable way, but that was par for the course.
