I knew I could do it
I had seen that Judey Kalchik had decided to do this #100 Things in 20 Minutes Challenge that seemed to pique my interest. Shortly after I saw that Cathy Holmes wrote 20 Minutes of Babble, and decided I had to do it too. I love to babble, and my mind is a nonstop randomness machine. So here ya go folks, 100 things that probably don’t matter!

Pixel+. Top Story - June 2023.

A Lesson in Etiquette . Top Story - June 2023.
My first neighbour was an older gentleman who had recently been widowed. Even though his wife was a long-time baker, he had still found the time and energy to bake me a welcoming cake. The icing was leaky, and the cake was dry, but the kind thought made my day. He really made me feel at home and part of the neighbourhood, even if he was the only one to welcome me to the apartment complex.

What a Nut. Top Story - May 2023.
No one knew why the vending machine was installed on the fourth floor of the apartment building. It didn’t make sense to have it there, and tenants from the other floors immediately complained about the unfairness of it all. But the building manager was preoccupied with a custody battle, so some snack machine wasn’t really a top priority.

The Rattling of Wars
The antique shop was an antique itself; passed down for generations. No one understood how it wasn't bankrupt, as city folk avoided the shop like the plague. An old murder-suicide tale haunted the place, and the family's compensation was what kept doors open.

When You Gamble Your Heart. Top Story - May 2023.
I blew on candles that weren’t for my birthday. I figured, why do wishes only count on days of birth? I mean, someone somewhere was definitely born today, maybe they’ll be kind enough to let me borrow some of their luck.
