The happy place

yes I’ve picked up my new glasses they are rounded because I have changed. Rounded like a librarian’s or someone who is about to make a profound work of art someday.

It’s a blessing to not be wearing sunglasses when looking at the screen, and it did lift my mood considerably.

I went out after work, after the rain. It was sunny but the paving stones were still wet and the air felt fresh, and on the sky there were thick clouds but somehow they were blue. For some reason I was listening to Cranes (the music band) because maybe I felt sentimental having had this odd dream last night.

There was a raid by the poke gym nearby. It’s really a fountain but in the augmented reality it doubles like I said as a poke gym. It was where I went to meet my wife for the second time, long before we married, long before Pokémon go was invented, I barely knew her back then, only that she was the most attractive woman I’d ever seen and with such a fascinating personality too, which made awestruck. She had big rings in her ears and a leather jacket from some thrift store or something, and she was really tough but anyway so the raid.

There by this fountain — a big greenish bronze statue with some fish spewing water in a ring from the bottom of this circular basin — were two extremely cool looking fellas, with trucker or baseball caps sitting casually on a green bench nearby, one of them running a cable from his phone to concealed power bank. I could see they were level 50.

I didn’t venture too near while counting down I just circled the area and didn’t talk to them. For example what would we talk to each other about? Why I have a female avatar in the game? (That’s cause here in this game I get to choose).

Anyway the raid started and it was an ugly looking black Pokémon who I would’ve guessed was a ghost but apparently was of type “psycho” which were then quickly decimated and I caught it but didn’t even appraise.

I did however add these two guys, you can do this now in the summary screen, and will now proceed to exchange gifts with them every day.

And now I am sitting comfortably in an antique white armchair.

O yes I got to hear today that i was in the high performer (top) bracket, earning the max designated pay raise.
