Hello from Roommate

Hi, my name is roommate, I live in the Hemlock Hilton with foxy K. Cox. I am writing this from a wireless keyboard which is beyond weird, let me tell you. So we are roommates in a really nice cabin with five birds that live on our porch. Their names are Albert, Bernice, Curtis, Derrell, and Eustace. They have grown from eggs to birds in front of our eyes. Their parents are very attentive and poop all over our porch. The Hemlock Hilton is home to random senior staff. We have ceiling fans, varnished floors, and twinkle lights. Those factors plus the coffee pot and fridge on our back porch make for good digs and good community.
Being random senior staff means we sit at the back staff table. Nurses, doctors, assistant head counselors, the hostess, and overflow people all gather three times a day to eat together and endure some of the most awkward conversation that we will ever encounter in our whole lives. Without being mean spirited, I would like to share some of what I have learned from these meals.

Life is a choice. For example, you can choose to make life an adventure or you can pop a lean cuisine in the microwave. Now, I have nothing against a meal that is from the freezer section and supplies you with nutrients after spending meer minutes in the microwave. But mindset is key. Do not be a victim of your own life and of your choices. Live life to the fullest whether you are enjoying a lean cuisine from your microwave or if you are snacking on the wildest cuisine on the planet. Enjoy your life and form community wherever you can find it. If life hands you a lean cuisine, shake some hot sauce on it and throw a party.

Thank you for listening to my soapbox.
Roommate
