12:15am and I've been meaning to take a shower since 3pm but I laid in bed and took a nap, and now I can't sleep because I took a nap but I'm too tired to get out of bed and shower, but I need a shower. I spent the weekend planting trees. I have dirt in every imaginable place. I need a shower. I can't go to work tomorrow in my current state.
Or can I?
#my hair is full of dirt#its under my fingernails. bottoms of my feets. still in my eyes somehow?#i loved planting trees but i didnt waste time trying to be dainty about it#i sat my ass in the dirt and used my hands where the post hole digger failed#for context i was at the camp i work at in the summer#its not yet summer#but every memorial day a group of people will spend the weekend doing work projects#we get food. hang out with other scouts. theres a lot of partying happening#i walked through all of the staff cabins that ive never really gotten to see before while i was there#i also watched like 85% of back to the future#it sure is one of the movies of all time#oh! back to the important information#its a weekend of cheerful service. its put on by the order of the arrow#which is a scouting cult. but the foundation of this cult is cheerful service#so anyone that shows up is ready to sort tools or clean showerhouses or clear trails#my best friend ran it this year so he put me on a project be knew i would like. planting trees!!#but last year pretty much all of us spent the entire day leveling tent platforms#we had these special frames thst were pretty much just 4 2x4s with levels on the sides#and we had to dig in the ground. set down the frame. lift the frame and make adjustments. set down the frame.#put cinderblocks on the corners of it so that the tent platform has something to rest on. double check that its level.#hundreds of times#and it was a great time being with other people who were there voluntarily. ready to put in a weekend of cheerful service#im not a part of the order of the arrow because as i mentioned it's a weird fuckinf cult#but i can get behind the cheerful service#these tags could not stay on topic#okay. gonna go to sleep. clean up anything super important before i go to work. then shower when i get home
