this sunday mom was too tired to get out of bed so we didn't go to church! 🎊🎉 for her birthday ava decided she wanted to go to the sugar factory (because she lacks taste). before heading over to grandma's to scoop her and bridgette up, we got her a card, balloons and $100 out the bank. we got to grandma's, sang happy birthday, then waited at a gas station for ava's friend, ariel, to join us. we went to the river north location and it was just as....aged as i remember. if the overpriced entrees and desserts weren't enough to put me off, the sad attempts of holding onto the remnants of it's hey-day. like it's not 2014 anymore take them damn photos down. my $22 milkshake was good tho. mom pissed me off tho when she tried to shade ariel after she ordered an expensive drink talking bout "it's not her birthday" in this half-assed whisper as if she's the one paying for it. later we went down to miniso so i could buy plushies for ava and her friend. luckily by the time mom commented on me buying one for ariel, she was already out the car.
saturday (4/5)
after mom left for the church, ava and i went up to blue island to check out studious cafe. i found out about the place after leaving from the bowling alley we always go to for our family reunion meetings. it was a really nice vibe but despite it's name it wasn't the best place for studying; the seats weren't very ergonomic. besides that everything was great. i had a nice iced london fog and ava got a cold coffee. in hindsight i definitely should've ordered for her and gotten her a latte since i'm sure that's what she actually wanted. she stayed quiet for most of the time and when she started bothering me and i bought her a cookie to placate her. after that we walked around the blue island downtown area and went into some vintage shops. sadly i didn't find anything but ava got some $1 bracelets.
sunday (4/6)
during sunday school, we went over out parts for the easter bullshit. then ms. marge came in and asked us to brainstorm some ideas for youth day or else we'd being doing the sneaker ball. useless nigga #1 and #2(yemi and ameyah) acted as if they couldn't come up with shit so we're sticking with the middle school dance concept until further notice. after church i asked mom to take me over to hyde park records. i ended up finding a janet cd ($6) and TWO mariah carey albums for 99 cents!!
we went over to auntie darlene's house and i finally started my first book of 2025: A Master of Djinn. im really liking it so far, not too hard to follow and reading fantasy based off something that's not olden europe is always a treat
monday (4/7)
this morning steph, geselle, and i went out to ulta to get first dibs at cecred hair care. (before that i dropped my essay draft off at prairie) when we got there we were gobsmacked at the hair drops being sold out when they had just gotten the shipment yesterday. i got the deep conditioner and moisture locking lotion. i opted for the redken shampoo and conditioner since i've heard really good things about it. when i got to the cash register, i expressed my shock about the hair drops to the cashier and she told me that they hadn't gotten it in yet but that i should check back tomorrow or the day after. so best believe i'll be there. we then went to the new motea location to eat and both got spicy tonkotsu ramen. it was just as good as i remember. i decided to go for something different and got the strawberry-taro drink but when i got it i realized that the worker had put it in as just plain taro so i went and got it fixed. they let me keep the wrong one so i let steph have it and she loved the custard pudding. after we went to the sip, steph would've just gone by herself later but they were closing at 1:00 due to construction. i got a blueberry muffin. when i got home i left my ulta haul and leftovers in the car so that mom wouldn't ask questions about how i managed to go to class and shop. (i used my sofi account to purchase everything)
i was in work all of 10 minutes before someone pissed me off. ms. v for some godforsaken reason keeps getting on my ass about being up at circulation. apparently ms. rita told her that it'd be my new permanent spot. this makes no sense for two reason, #1 why would she want me at circ permanently when i'm the last person in the adult services and #2 why the hell am i hearing this from ms. v??? for some reason rita has been giving me orders thru ms. v for like the past month and it's starting piss me and ms v off (she takes questioning her as disrespect, typical older black woman shit)
when i got home i was elated to find out that my online ulta order had been delivered. i've decided to start getting into bodycare and hydrating my skin. i just got two items tony bravo recommended in her body care routine, a body oil and naturium body butter. i also finally got the exfoliating mediheal peel pads, praying that those will be able to get rid of these damn bumps on my skin. then at like 11 pm i saw the cutest ballet sneaker type shoes on depop and got into a little bit of an offer war with the seller. i ended up settling for her $55 offer and after taxes and other bs it came out to $70. i know i should regret impulsively buying a pair of skechers in the dead of night but they're literally the exact type of shoe i've been searching for. not a sneaker, not a sandal but something in between + they're brown leather sooooo.....
my latest dyke daydream is kimani and valerie actress au where they star in a highly anticipated bdsm romcom movie. it is extremely well received.
