the carbon monoxide detector started beeping, so i opened a window n looked up the user manual online. apparently its batteries needed to be replaced and now its not beeping anymore. i was really scared at first, tho, because what the hell do i do if there's carbon monoxide in my apartment? i mean shit, i have to be up in three hours because i have class at 8:00am and there's no where else for me to go. the first person i thought to call for help was albert n then i was like, "oh yeah, i can't do that." reanna barely gets a signal where she lives and anna couldn't give me a place to crash if i needed one because he lives in ohio. besides that, i'd want a place that i could take puma to, too, and i don't think i could with any of them. (i'd probably have to leave timmy behind, sadly, but does carbon monoxide kill hermit crabs, too?) one of the things i miss about dating cyn and albert, i've come to realize, is that it gave me another place to go, another place to sleep and even call my home if i really needed it.
