Day 114 (Saturday July 4th)

I don’t remember a ton about this bay because I didn’t write these 2 entries until Monday but HERE WE GO

Also I’ve decided fuck it, y’all get to know my siblings names because referring to them as my brothers and sister is dumb. Eric is the oldest brother, Greg is the other older brother, Emily is the little sister.

Eric was already home, and he woke me up at like 1pm. I started getting ready for the day just because now I assume if someone is waking me up we’re about to do something. Greg came home sometime in the middle of the afternoon. My dad made food on the grill and we all sat around and ate and talked a lot, and eventually my sister leaves out to have a sleepover with friends. My mom gave her grief about it because she wanted to watch fireworks with the whole family. We drove to some huge church property because they were the only ones around shooting off fireworks, and I made everyone clover bracelets and we got ice cream and an elephant ear because there was a whole-ass fair situation. We all wore masks tho. It was really nice just being outside and doing something almost normal for once. They had a speaker playing music and someone made an announcement thanking local law enforcement and we all went “ACAB” and laughed. The show was nice, my dad braided my hair, and I got to sit on the roof of the car waiting for traffic to lighten up. My brothers talked about math the ENTIRE time. After the show, we went to the store for key lime pie and my brothers got alcohol and stuff for drinks. We all talked more when we got home until I got tired.

Day 115 (Sunday July 5th)

Eric woke me up again, but this time to get McAllister’s and go to the park. I got less sleep than usual and kind of tired all day. Eric and Greg also got coffe at Starbucks. We ate at the park and sat on the bench for forever, trying to decide on something to do. We talked about kayaking, but all boat rentals needed to be made a day in advance. We instead decided to go hiking!! We went home to prepare, and headed out to the Monon trail. It was hot and humid out, and there wasn’t much shade at first, but we crossed a street and turned a bend and ended up in a heavily wooded area that was super pretty. We were wondering when a good turning around point would be, and had just started going the other way when a huge thunderclap rolled overhead. We decided that was a pretty good sign to head back. It started sprinkling, and as soon as we got out of the woods the rain picked up and we had to run to the closest shelter in front on an ice cream shop. It started coming down in sheets, so we booked it to an open jimmy johns across a small street. We bought some soda and waited out the worst of the rain, but we still had to walk a little over a mile while it was still sprinkling. Eric considered paying for a 1 mile Uber lmao. I felt like I was in a Studio Ghibli movie with all the greenery on either side. The rain fully let up as soon as we got to the car, but some guy with a blunt in his hand tried to talk to us as we passed by him, saying we looked like cowboys walking through the mist. We laughed it off and went home. As soon as we got there, we changed clothes, had a quick snack, and went to our neighbor’s house. One of our neighbors had died, and his neighbor was having a little get-together to remember him. As soon as I got there I was stuck talking to the two wierd homeschool kids for an HOUR. I HATED it. I had to text emily and her friend to come rescue me. We talked on our porch for a little bit, but then they kicked me out so I went inside and waited for everybody to get back. Dad came home first, since Eric and Greg were still talking with neighbors. When they got back, we wanted to watch a movie, and I brought out Shrek on tape, but we couldn’t get the tape player to work. Eric and Greg played video games, and emily and I played Mario kart ds. It had been forever since we were able to play, but because I found my white ds, we were able to!! After a while, I went to my room for a bit and drew for artfight. I got a headache, took some medicine, and sat next to Greg on the couch watching him play rimworld until I fell asleep. I later woke up and moved to my own bed.

Day 116 (Monday July 6th)

I woke up wierdly early (10am ish), but Greg was still asleep on the couch, so I had to be quiet while getting some breakfast. I spent the morning sketching for artfight and going between the kitchen and my room. Eric didn’t show up until some time after noon, and the first thing he did was show off his new infrared thermometer by zapping my forehead. He had to work all day, so I didn’t see much of him. I went back to my room to draw until Greg’s girlfriend texted me asking if he had his phone on him. I had to wake him up at 3:30pm lmao. I went back to drawing until I got sick of it. Later I talked with Greg in the backyard about college and mental health for probably over an hour until emily came outside and asked if we were going to do anything tonight or tomorrow. We went inside and fetched Eric, then all gathered on the couches to eat dinner. Eric bought procreate on his iPad for me to play with, and it’s really fun to draw with. I drew while Eric and Greg played video games and emily watched TikTok. She eventually left, and I sat on the couch drawing until past 2 am and went to bed. My G O D procreate is so fun to draw with, it’s a shame Eric is taking his iPad when he leaves :/ ill just have to buy and iPad and pencil for myself some time
