Weeks

Sometimes you get a week filled with responsibilities. The usual chores, additional duties, crazy spur of the moment ideas that have to happen right now.

You know that kind of week.

It pushes you into a sprint when you were expecting a nice jog.

By the time you reach the end, you're exhausted.

Then there's the kind of week that just drags on and on. Each moment stretches into the next, lingering far longer than you ever wanted it to. Not only does ever minute take in hour to pass, but even the simplest of tasks become unending.

This kind of week clings to your feet like a tar pit, refusing to let you go no matter how hard you fight to be free.

By the time this week ends, you don't know what a day is supposed to be. What is a second, and why do they keep coming back for more?

Just like a week spent in the blur of responsibilities, a week stretched beyond its accepted length is exhausting to endure.

But then, there are those rare, wonderful weeks wherein neither responsibilities nor time move beyond your ability to accomplish.

Those blissful weeks are just right in all ways: just enough tasks to fulfill, not too much time stretched out, and a comfortable pace that allows for both moments of haste and moments of leisure.

Enjoys those weeks, for they seem so rare in the bustle of life.

The Woodcutter's Robot

Once there was a robot, who could do all sorts of fun things. It could pick up sticks, wheel around the forest without getting stuck, and even cut and stack logs in the shed.

Then one day, the company which built all the robots decided that it didn't need all these different kinds of robots, and slowly began to discontinue services and parts for robots the company deemed obsolete.

This wasn't a problem for the Woodcutter's robot, not at first.

But then came a day when the treads that covered robot's wheels broke.

Without working treads, the robot couldn't wheel through the forest collecting sticks, nor could it maneuver around the shed properly.

The Woodcutter called the company to order replacement parts, and was told that the robot was one the company had discontinued service for. There were no spare parts to get. The Woodcutter was upset, because the company had orginally said that the robot was covered by a lifetime warrenty. The robot still worked just fine, except for the lack of maneuverability. Didn't that mean the robot's "lifetime" hadn't ended yet?

Not according to the company.

The company offered to send another, newer robot, at a discounted rate even.

But the Woodcutter didn't want another robot. Instead, the Woodcutter called an old friend, and asked her to come visit.

The old friend was a mechanic, who worked with all sorts of vehicles. Together, the Woodcutter and the Mechanic worked on the robot, making a new set of treads so that the robot could continue to do what it was there to do.

When all was done, the robot got back to work with an eager-sounding chirp, and the Woodcutter thanked his friend for her help.

The company may have given up on his robotic partner, but the Woodcutter wouldn't. Not while the robot still seemed eager to work.

Plants You Might Have in a Garden

1. Flowers. Because flower gardens are pretty, and quite often smell nice. Some are even edible!
2. Strawberries. People love strawberries, so why not grow your own?
3. Potatoes. How big will they be when they're ready to harvest? You'll have to dig them up to find out!
4. Mint. Fresh mint is great for desserts and drinks, plus it smells nice.
5. Tomatoes. They are a useful fruit that is used like a vegetable, and can come in various sizes!
6. Eggplant. For when you need an alternate version of chicken parmesan, eggplant is the vegetable to choose.
7. Rhubarb. Alien celery can be surprisingly tasty, just remember not to eat the leaves, as they're toxic.
8. Lettuce. Because you need a base vegetable to add the others to.
9. Rosemary. Useful for both dinner and dessert!
10. Weeds. They come, you take them out, and they come right back.

Bad Time

When time goes bad, it tends to favor three approaches.
First, the bad time. A bad time is inconvenient, but often manageable. A bad time could be a leaking dishwasher, missing homework, or a sick child on the day you and all your friends were going to get together.
A step above a bad time is when you're suffering from bad times. Bad times is when all the potential causes of a bad time get together to hit you all at once. Missing keys when you're already late for work, the whole family down with food poisoning on the day the hall bathroom decides to become a waterpark. A broken heel causing a twisted ankle while the wind rips your umbrella out of your hands so that the rain drenches you. You know how bad times look.
The third approach is rare, but always catastrophic. For it is when time goes bad. It becomes rotton, and portions of reality ooze away beneath the strain. Monstrous creatures breK theough the weakened barriers, and people fall out of time entirely. The lucky fools find themselves in the past or flung into the future. The unlucky fools are frozen in between seconds, trapped forever in a state of neither existing nor creasing to exist.
But the third approach rarely ecer occurs, and fixes itself in what could either be called no time at all, or after all this time. Eyewitnesses are split on which exactly is correct.
