monday appointments, 6.23.25

the thing about car appointments, is that you’re stuck wherever you go for the time being until the work is completed. there are ways around this such as rental vehicles or ridesharing, but i decided to hang out in the area instead. while the lexus was being worked on this morning, i walked around downtown reading. i found myself at a comic bookstore i’ve always seen in passing, but never stepped in. it was a warm day, so once i walked in, the ac felt so good. not only that, but they sold more than comic books. they sold dvds, blu ray, cds, cards, action figures, video games, literally everything. they’ve been in business for 20 or 25 years (i can’t remember) the guy told me. i bought a few cds for the ride home. they also had toys and figures from the 70’s, 80’s, and probably even before then. it’s a neat store and i’m glad small businesses like this exist. sometime later i got the call my car was ready and because it was too late to go to work, i ended up going to the gym. i think tonight we’re having burgers at the house, which is the perfect meal after a workout.

but before then, i’m feeling a nap.
