Shops And Strangers

The next day I woke up early. I washed up and put on a pair of sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt. I grabbed an apple on the way out and left Eva a note that I went out to take some pictures and that I would be at the shop later that day.

The first place I went to was the park. I love how the sunsets look in the morning. I went and took some pictures of silhouettes of trees. I also sat on the swings and thought of my them. Do they miss me? I shook my head and decided it wasn't worth troubling myself over at the moment.

Later on I went back to Grounds and Chocolate. I ordered a hazelnut coffee with two glazed donuts. I sat down in a booth towards the back. I took out my tablet and started watching supernatural. I wish I could watch Netflix for a living. That is a dream job. If you can't tell I am lazy. I was watching one of my favorite episodes WISHFUL THINKING, when a boy walked through the door caught my eye. I stared at him for a minute before relizing he was the yoga guy from yesterday. Before I go on may I say he is damn fine. No not sexy but damn fine.

He look still very angry and tense about life. Seriously yoga would be great for him. He had just ordered his coffee when he got a phone call. The phone call didn't seem to help at all. He hung up when the guy behind the counter handed him is drink. Apparently this guy doesn't know that coffee is hot unless ordered otherwise so he burnt his tounge and then spilt it on his shirt, and then started to cuss.

Now me being the kind of person that laughs at others pain knew I really needed to hold back my laughter. Me also being the kind of person that has no control of such thing, bursts out laughing.

Needing to breath from my laughter I looked up and saw that I had been the only one to laugh, and that everyone had paused, and was looking at me with the most horrified expression, while others gave me looks of pity. Then there was yoga guy that looked like he could kill me.

So I took this time to use supernatural to my rescue. I hold it up and rewind some and press play. Not knowing which scene was unfolding and I calmly stated

"I was laughing at this scence of the show I was watching."

I turned it up louder and I herd a gunshot come from my tablet. Then relizing I showed them the part where the alcoholic suicidal teddy bear attempts to kill himself by shooting himself in the head, but fails and you just see a bunch of fluff fly up.

Now they looked horrified before, but now they just looked horrified and disgusted.

Good going Violet now they think that you find suicide funny.

Getting my things I walk out awkwardly and head to my car. Driving back to Eva's house I decide to get change and go to the shop. It is my first day and I really need something to take my mind off of todays events.

*******:********:*******:*********

9:00 A.M

That is what time I got to the shop. It opens up in 30 more minutes. Until then I decided to see where things are and straighten up some.

I looked at my phone to read the time and it was one minute until it was time to open the store.

They haven't called. I wonder if they hate me..

I was broken out of my thoughts with the ring of the door. An elderly lady walked in she looked about the same age as..

The old lady walked over to me and wanted to know if we had any cast Iron skillets. Her daughter-in-law had washed it. Which you are never suppose to do. I lead her to the back where I had seen some earlier. After about an hour of looking and deciding and changing her mind she walked out with the skillet she wanted.

As sweet as she was and as mean as this sounds I was glad to see her leave. That was unbearable. The next hour or so was pretty slow. One or two people coming in to look and leaving with something small like a button or something of that nature. Around 12:00 Eva came through the door with a big smile plastered on her face. I smiled back and greeted her. I told her about the events of today dealing with the shop. With that information she told me I was free to roam around town and that she would see me later.

I went to the park I went to earlier and took a picture of a scence from this morning. I was going to take a picture of a few things everyday, 3 times a day, at the same time as I possibly can get, for a year. I might change that later on. Again I am lazy.

I was taking a picture of this tree when I heard someone approaching me. While yes this is a public park, it was very vacant at the time. So when I looked up I saw yoga guy, but this time he wasn't alone he had another guy with him that looked just as angry as the other.

Hey! They should do yoga together. They could make workout DVD's and wear 80's workout clothes.

With this image in my head I broke out in laughter again. So much that I fell to the ground.

Did I mention that I am not graceful what so ever?

No?

Well I am not graceful in the least. So me falling is a spectical.

When I sobered up, I saw two shawdows looming over me. So I did the mauture thing and I closed my eyes.

There is no place like Eva's

There is no place like Eva's

There is no place like Eva's

I chanted in my head over and over. Well at least I thought it was on my head.

"Hey, red slippers you are still here."

I heard one say.

"Don't you also have to click your heals together?"

Questioned the other.

Fuck.

Well Namaste.
