Neighborly

I helped PK move his new couch up to his apartment today. It was a nice piece and I was happy for him that his place was getting more settled and furnished. We then went to Yogurtland to have ourselves some treats, then Kang Kang to get a take-out combo for his lunch tomorrow. We also spent some time shopping and browsing Big Lots and Dollar Tree. Bargains were everywhere. Yes quite a few of unknown, random brands too. I was intrigued and excited about the cheap wines Big Lots carried. PK decided to try two of them, and later told me one of them, Demonique, was pretty terrible. Oh well let's hope the other one tastes better.

I have 2 especially kind neighbors. Caretas is always kind, caring, and generous to me. We went out for lunch today and had lots of laughs. It was great to see her feeling better again. After my dentist visit, I came back and took a short nap. Caretas knew I didn't have dinner yet, so she prepared a dinner plate for me too. How did I get so lucky?! I thanked her like I did always. She's so genuinely sweet to me, I sometimes just don't know how to express my gratitude besides thanking her again and again. Later this evening on my way out to the gym, my other neighbor stopped me and asked if I eat sushi. I said yes, and she gave me 2 boxes of sushi on the spot. Wow! She had given me sushi before, but tonight I was reminded again that I had another wonderful neighbor who cared. I know I am truly blessed to have these wonderful, almost motherly figures living next to me. I don't always remember that, I should. How nice it is to have someone care about you and want to make sure that you're OK? I am very appreciative of the love and friendship I have received from the people whom I might have never met or known if I didn't live here. Or they just figured out that a beast like me loves to eat and decided to keep me fed whenever they could! Hahaha!
