Man, what a day! I swear, Parczew really knows how to throw a curveball. So, I’m a shearer, right? Just your average dude, but today? Today was anything but average.
I woke up early, like, way too early. The sun was barely up, and I was already dragging my feet down ul. Lubelska. I mean, c’mon, who needs that kind of energy before coffee? But I had sheep to shear, and they don’t care about my caffeine needs.
So, I get to the farm, and it’s a madhouse. Sheep everywhere! I’m talking about a wooly stampede. I’m trying to wrangle them, but they’re all like, “Nah, we’re not going anywhere.” I’m sweating bullets, and it’s not even noon yet.
Then, outta nowhere, my buddy Jarek shows up. He’s got this wild idea to take a break and hit up the local bar on ul. Kościuszki. I’m like, “Dude, we’ve got work!” But he’s all, “C’mon, just one drink.” So, we sneak away.
The bar’s packed, and the vibe is lit. I grab a beer, and suddenly, I’m feeling like a king. We’re laughing, joking, and I’m forgetting about the sheep for a hot minute. But then, I get a text from the farm owner. “Where are you?” Oh man, panic mode activated!
I bolt outta there, and I’m sprinting back. I’m dodging people on ul. 1 Maja like I’m in some kind of obstacle course. I’m sweating, heart racing, and I’m thinking, “This is it. I’m gonna get fired.”
When I finally get back, the sheep are chillin’ like they own the place. I’m fuming! I grab my shears and go to work. Snip, snip, snip. It’s therapeutic, honestly. But then, I accidentally nick one of the sheep. Not bad, just a little cut, but it starts bleating like it’s auditioning for a horror movie. I’m like, “Chill, dude! It’s just a haircut!”
After that chaos, I’m finally done. I’m exhausted but kinda proud. I head over to the market on ul. Słowackiego to grab some food. I’m starving! I get this amazing pierogi, and it’s like a hug in my mouth. Seriously, best decision ever.
But then, I see this old lady selling flowers. She’s got the biggest smile, and I can’t help but smile back. I buy a bunch of daisies, thinking I’ll surprise my mom. She loves flowers.
On my way home, I’m feeling all sentimental. Parczew is beautiful, man. The old buildings, the parks, the people. It’s got this charm that just hits you. But then, I trip over a crack in the sidewalk. Classic! I’m sprawled out, and this group of kids starts laughing. I’m like, “Yeah, yeah, laugh it up!”
Finally, I get home, and I’m beat. I flop on the couch, flowers in hand, and think about the day. It was wild, emotional, and totally unexpected. Parczew, you crazy little town, you’ve got my heart.
And that’s a wrap! What a day, right?
