Today I shopped . Lots of random little things I knew I needed , but I mostly stayed in town and finished ( or started ) a couple projects in the house . I started the morning at the frame shop in town , where I dropped off a couple things I wanted matted and a few things that needed ' finishing ' . I did n't bring the larger paintings in the first time b / c I was n't sure if they could do the finishing for me , but they could , so I went back to drop those off - and the first one was already ready for pickup when I came by ! OPTIONS:
- The people at the shop knew what they were doing
- The people at the shop could n't repair the painting
- None of the above choices .
- The people at the shop forgot to work on it

But I could see it in her eyes that she knew . And today I could have stayed longer , but when she showed me her wound and asked asked me to massage her legs like old times , I knew I could n't take it anymore and I lied that I had school and left quickly . And on the bus , I was like a water tap and a kid was looking at me curiously . What 's most important is getting her saved and I really hope I can make it happen , although she 's deaf in a ear and speaks in hokkien + canto . OPTIONS:
