Three objects I can’t live without?
I live in a city with too much sprawl. I really can’t get around or do too much ‘living’ without my car. Currently, I drive a Chevy Spark. It is tiny, so I can park it anywhere, and it is a standard transmission, so even though it’s a little baby car, I still feel like a man driving it. It has been nicknamed the piss jug because of its awful colour. Chevy calls this colour nitro yellow, but it is indeed a terrible ‘I haven’t drunk enough water on this road trip and used a jug because no one wanted to pull over for me’ yellow. Gross. When the weather gets better, I have a 1962 Morris Mini that we will be assembling and that will be my newest (old) tiny ride. I can’t wait.
The second object I can’t seem to survive without is my reading glasses. My eyes recently changed prescriptions by 3 points in one eye. So right now, I’m using my old glasses, but I can only look through one eye, tthat he glasses still work with or see double until I drop the money on a new pair. Most of my current job is reading small print. I really need to make a few extra hundred bucks to get updated. I used to need trim-focals too, but my eyes shifted, so now I only need my weird readers. It’s so nice to walk around and drive and stuff without glasses anymore. Have you ever heard of someone’s eyes shifting so much? I think it’s weird.
The third object I can’t seem to live without is my toothbrush. I’d just sit there and pick at my teeth all day without it. I’m a fidgeter at the best of times, but dirty teeth with that film they get on them when neglected? Dear heavens. I can’t cope.
When I was young, we went to this absolute sheister of a dentist. I have four unnecessary fillings. He got caught ripping off families in the small town we lived in growing up, and basically robbed hundreds of people by giving their kids unnecessary fillings. My mother was a single mom with three kids, and he took thousands from her. I kinda hope he went super broke after doing that. Meanwhile, I set off metal detectors everywhere I go with my mouth full of metal in what should have been pretty decent teeth. I brush the hell out of them now, so I don’t require any more fillings.
