  Daytime

  You ever spend so much time with someone that you can easily notice small things or changes about them? Well, I've been feeling like that tely.

  It’s been a few days now. My friend has been acting differently and only seems to function well when I give her clear instructions. She does better that way.

  But now, she has a habit of not looking at me unless I tell her to. And then when I do tell her, it’s really brief, as if my eyeballs are ugly or something.

  And I can say for sure, my eyes are gorgeous. They’re green. We love green, way better than brown. Hers are brown, but that’s okay. It’s not her fault, even if it’s tragic.

  Anyway, so, I made breakfast. My friend, who was never one to compin, seemed to have trouble eating.

  It would be a real shame if she started to grow tired of meat. It’s not like it’s easy to come by y’know. She should be gd we’re not starving and living like birds.

  She’s been jumpy too. Dropped a spoon earlier when I stood up too fast.

  Is vegetarianism a virus or disease? I hope not.

  Slightly darker daytime

  Over the past few days, I sometimes hear pnes flying in the distance. It’s annoying.

  At first I had thoughts like maybe we’re all going to get nuked, but nothing ever happens. However, I think it’s a good sign that there are still functioning humans out there that can operate a pne in the first pce.

  Meanwhile, I’ve been struggling to figure out this god damn generator.

  The book I found about generators is informative and all, but like, there’s barely any pictures! I don’t know what shit looks like.

  And I’m really thankful I’m not one of those types of girls that have long nails, cause I would have broken at least five by now trying to move this thing around.

  My friend helped me painfully drag it from the neighbor’s yard to mine, then into the shed here.

  Girl, I skipped leg day, arm day. I skipped all the days. Why are these hunks of metal so heavy?

  But once we got it all shacked up, I started trying to figure out how to hook it up and everything while my friend took care of bringing over the couple canisters of gas we found.

  Reading this, I have no idea what a transfer switch is or an interlock kit is, and apparently cords have male ends? What does that MEAN? Cords have penises? What is happening?

  This is gonna take a long time.

  Maybe I should find a new friend that’s an electrician.

  Cricket Symphony has begun

  Is it possible that the mumbly epidemic can happen to animals, or even bugs? I think it’d be a bit interesting to have mumbly rabbits, birds or crickets.

  I’d have more ways to get rid of old meat if the animals could help me clean up from time to time.

  And on that note, I pn to take a trip to one of the clinics my friend and I saw on the town map. I’ll be going alone, unfortunately.

  My friend has been sleeping a lot tely. Since that day, actually.

  I tried to talk to her about my pns today, but she could barely stay awake through a simple conversation. Just nodding. Saying ‘yeah.’ or ‘okay.’

  She might be sick. I’ll try looking for medicine.

  If not, maybe I can find some caffeine pills to perk her back up!

  Hate to say it, but she’s way more useful when she has energy.
