The Day of the Disappearing Rat and a Crazy Thunderstorm

-

Hello everyone,

So today was one of those days that makes you just want to crawl back into bed and start over. It began pretty lazily, with me waiting for my Apple Watch and iPhone to charge. I was lounging in bed, watching videos, when I decided to check my devices. They were charged, so I figured it was a good time to head to the post office and drop off some mail.

While getting ready at home, I glanced over and saw something utterly disgusting—a nasty rat in my room, under my ottoman, stuck on a trap and my dumbbell. And, of course, I was home alone. I freaked out completely. I thought about handling it myself, but I was way too creeped out. I should have just put another trap on it and gotten rid of it, but nope, I was too chicken shit. 💩 🤦🏾‍♀️

In a panic, I rushed outside to see if any neighbors were around to help, but as luck would have it, no one was around. 😂 With no other options, I decided to leave the house and head to the post office in the next town. Just as I set out, it started raining on me. Smh 🤦🏾‍♀️ I tried to make it to the post office before the downpour, but fortunately, it didn’t rain too heavily.

After mailing my stuff, I hurried back home because I don’t drive, and I don’t own a scooter. 🛵 😂 I really wanted some fried chicken from ShopRite by my house, but by the time I got home at 5, I was hot, tired, and over it. I had left the house at 3:30 and took my time coming back, which exhausted me. So, I decided to skip the chicken.

I ended up sitting on the porch until my mom came home at 5:30 to help me deal with the rat. I don’t care how old I am—rats are gross and creepy, and they freak me out. I’m so over this place. It would be amazing if the owners took any pride in the property and hired exterminators. Ugh. 😑

So, my mom and I go to my room to take care of the rat, but guess what? The damn rat is gone, but the trap is still there. 😩🤦🏾‍♀️🤬 This mofo got off the trap and bounced, and now it's still somewhere in the house because I was too chicken to get it the first time. What a damn day this was.

And if that wasn’t enough, tonight as I’m in the living room, it starts pouring rain like buckets with thunderstorms and lightning. Omg. 😳

I hope your day was less eventful than mine!

Deuces,

Shadeira

Missing You, Mark: Life Just Isn’t the Same Without You

It’s hard to put into words how much I miss my best friend, Mark Williams Jr. 💔 He would’ve turned 36 on October 9, and it feels strange celebrating his birthday in Greece without him here. We met when I was 14, and from that moment on, we were inseparable—literally attached at the hip. I used to call him my “gentle giant” because that’s exactly who he was. We both were a little awkward, a little shy, but somehow we just clicked. He made everything easier, and we understood each other’s quirks in a way nobody else could. Mark was the first of us to get his driver’s license. We used to laugh about how neither of us ever really had a relationship, mostly because he was so shy around girls. I wasn’t much better, to be honest. But those things never mattered because we always had each other. As we got older, life started getting in the way, and adult responsibilities pulled us in different directions. Still, I cherished every text, every corny joke, and every silly story about his string ...

Wildfire Alert: A Wake-Up Call in New Jersey

  Wildfire Alert: A Wake-Up Call in New Jersey New Jersey, a state we usually associate with urban life, shorelines, and lush parks, has been hit with an unexpected and dangerous crisis. Wildfires have broken out across the state, with major incidents reported in both urban and natural areas. This is not something we're used to seeing here, but it’s become a reality we can no longer ignore. In West Milford’s Jennings Creek, a massive wildfire has already scorched over 3,000 acres, threatening nearby homes, structures, and closing down local roads. The blaze is only 10% contained, and firefighters are working tirelessly to prevent further spread. But this isn't just limited to rural areas—there's been another blaze closer to more populated regions. As smoky air fills neighborhoods, it’s becoming more evident that wildfires don’t only happen "somewhere else." The origin of the fire in West Milford has reportedly been linked to human activity, with one person alleged...

Diary of a Chaotic Day: Math, Figma, Funky Classmates, and a Walmart Surprise

lol this ai pic is so funny 😂  Late Post: Written on November 14, 2024 Today was… something, to say the least. It all started with a brutal math quiz 🧮 ➗ that, for some reason, my professor thought could be done in 20 minutes—without a calculator. Seriously? Twenty minutes to solve problems like: • p² + 11p + 30 = (p + 5)(p + 6) • b² + 8b + 15 = (b + 3)(b + 5) • 36 - 25t² = (6 - 5t)(6 + 5t) These aren’t your basic addition problems—factorizing on paper is a whole other struggle! Tackling them without any kind of help was impossible 🤯. Math class feels like my personal downfall, but I’m powering through as best as I can 💪🏾. After surviving that, I treated myself to some Green Day coffee ☕ and mini tacos 🌮 with a kick! The coffee was heaven—Green Day’s got a way of summing things up with  “American Idiot”  and how we’re living in  “Troubled Times.” Then I went to the library to work… or at least tried to. I ended up people-watching 👀, sipping my coffee, and star...
