  Dawn of a new day!

  I’ve been so busy tely that I forgot to write about all the cool things that happened yesterday!

  This was the best decision I could ever make.

  One of my neighbors further down the street, their house had some pretty good supplies overall but the BEST part was their garage. Thankfully it wasn’t locked or anything!

  Inside were all the tools I could EVER want! I found myself a chainsaw, drills, all those like, doo-hickeys people use to work on cars. Sadly I’m not that educated in that subject, plus I hate the idea of toiling in grease 'n oil. Ew. No thanks.

  AND they had a generator with two cans of gas!

  Which is amazing and all, but problem is, I have absolutely no fucking idea how to operate a generator or even like, attach it to my house? It’s also a bit big, not even sure if I could lift it. I'm too delicate.

  I’ll keep my hopes up that I might find an instruction manual somewhere, or maybe I’ll go find the town library and see if they have any books on generators?? Worth a try, right?

  Oh my god, if I could have power, that would be incredible.

  Sky looks like molten orange that exploded with roses and blueberries

  When I returned to the neighbor’s house to pack up the st of the tools I wanted, I heard a faint sound coming from inside the house.

  So, of course I went inside.

  I heard more rustling upstairs so I quietly investigated.

  Gd I did, because that’s how I found my new friend!

  Poor thing, she was hiding in the bedroom closet. She probably thought I was a mumbly or a bandit. She looked so terrified but I assured her that I was only looking around.

  I offered her to come join me at my house, I got plenty of food, bnkets, a fire, plushies, glitter pens. We could have a lot of fun chilling out together. It’s better than being scared and alone!

  She came along with me and talked about how bandits came by her house months ago, killing her parents and stealing a lot of things. Stuff about how her little brother went missing.

  She talks a lot.

  When we got back, I let her sit by the fire and personally cooked up some meat for her. She’s really thin, her face is kinda bony. I wonder just how long she’s been trying to survive on her own like this.

  She liked the food! My st friend didn’t, so I was pretty happy to see her eat so well. ?

  Also, I really love her blonde hair, it’s like mine!

  We could be twins. I like her.

  Late night

  My friend was pretty tired and went to bed early. A real shame, cause I liked talking to her.

  I let her use one of the bedrooms upstairs. This st week, using all the new cleaning supplies I found tely, I used them to finally clean up all the mess up there.

  Now the second floor is pretty much spotless and totally presentable for any new guests.

  If the internet was still a thing, I think my house would make a fantastic B&B. Well, if I managed to get some power hooked up here and a reliable source of water. But still!

  Having a new friend makes everything so much better. ?
