Random Photos from Early July

Late night snack run. My car is a ‘97 Camry and I love it, though I don’t take nearly as much care of it as I should. My sweet boy at the vet after he threw up 5 times in one day. Turns out he was fine but cost me 350$. A car outside the pub, decked out in football decals due to an important game that night. My car wouldn’t start in the grocery store carpark, but some worker gave me a jump start from his forklift’s battery. Truly my hero–I was able to make it home in time for my morning meeting at work because of him. A random cat in my neighbourhood I came across during a run. This is the same spot I saw a different cat, many months ago, crawl into that storm drain because I must have gotten too close to it and spooked it. I like to think it’s okay–maybe it’s the same cat even; I didn’t memorise how it looked back then. I don’t smoke in my appartment or on my balcony, so sometimes I gotta be time efficient and sneak a smoke after a run. I must admit it feels utterly ridiculous. The alleyway to a Shisha bar. I went in and had a look, but it was way too expensive for my taste–plus I’m a bit of a nicotine lightweight and those things make me dizzy as fuck. A nice place to set up at the end of a night and drunkenly message your coworker because you’re worried they hate you. Yep. As good a place as any for a beer and a smoke.
