The Wild, Wild West

Yeeeeeah, as the title suggests its getting real wild out in these streets. I have been across some frightening situations but I think this scenario I had Monday night really spooked me and shook my sense of safety. My co-worker and I have this silent agreement where he cleans and takes care of the back/the kitchen and bathroom and I take care of the front/the eating area and counter which means I must take out the trash that accumulates up front. I was taking the trash out as usual, checking my surroundings ready to run back into the building if I see anything scary like an animal or a human however because my job is in a complex of other neighboring businesses most of the people you see back there are just employee. So when I initially saw a person as I was walking to the dumpster I wasn't too alarmed by his presence, but as I neared him I realized he was like trying to hide behind the corner and had a ski mask on and was hold something shiny in his hand, which I assumed was a gun since it was too big to be a knife. I was gonna drop the trash and run back in to the building at that point but I realized that would've been stupid because he probably would've shot me assuming I would go inside to report him to the cops and/or would've assumed that I was the person he was trying to get (I guessing he is a hitman at least since it seems like he is trying to scout someone out). I slowly just threw the trash and briskly walked back to my building, being sure to keep checking behind. He was fine and stayed in his place but at last few feet I got he started walking over so I ran inside and locked the door behind me. When I told my coworker, he said that the guy did the same thing the other night and he said it even spooked him and made him lock the doors earlier (and he is from this area ANDDDD he lived in Brazil). He said that we will start taking the trash out together or he'll just do it himself which gives me some comfort, but hopefully that guy isn't around again. Despite the situation, I am grateful to be okay especially since there have been a lot of random parking lots lately that have been resulting in death (just last month, a teen was randomly shot dead in the parking lot across the street T-T).

I was a little duress from that along with some familial issues which made it hard for me to post Tuesday night. But! I am all well now and am just vibing and enjoying my newest obsession: Bleach 🤪.

As usual, I leave my pics from the week-- ttyl!!!

Appreciate my newest phone background!

Bought my first batch of egg nog, cheers to egg nog season 🤪

I already told y'all, but here is a pic of the tree that fell over from the hurricane

[Went to do paperwork with Sebastian and his bf at Cuck's]

Had a little sleepover with my niece, it was fun. I feel like me and her vibe the most together, but she is usually chiller/quieter when she is around her siblings. So I forgot how hyper she is as a person until that day 😭😂😭

Idk why, but one night there was like a line of 5 big plans-- I hope they are for war purposes :'))

Found this really cool Japanese restuarant for my mom's bday!

[It was really yummy! I NEED to go back ASAP]

My niece came over last night to write her "essay" (her paper just had to be 4 paragraphs and had to be a 1/2 page 😭) since she didn't have internet at home rn. We talked for a little bit and it makes me sad that she is growing up because the world is so cruel and hasn't been treating her so nicely so far :(((

It's cold now so my nieces hace whipped out their cute coats!
