Day 40

Bluh.

Today was even more hectic than yesterday.

For one thing, I set my alarm for 6 PM instead of 6 AM. I was supposed to meet M and K for carpool by 7-ish. I woke up at 6:45. I had to rush like I have never rushed before. I didn't even have time for breakfast. And all the while, Toby and Sophie were looking up at me and dancing around my legs like 'omg walkies? walkies NAO?' But I didn't have time! I felt like the worst human being on the planet when I shut them in the cage and left. Luckily, I got Kai to come over and walk 'em. You're a saint, Kai, btw. Class was all right, especially Shakespeare and Nautical. They're my two favorite classes, I think. Had lunch with M and took her to Freebird's, since she'd never been. Also went to the vintage store down the street. Had a lot of fun. AND, when I went to the library, I actually typed about a page of my story. I hadn't realized just how much I missed my characters. Writers' block solved, for now...

Now for the bad bits of the day.

I've been trying to eat better, maybe shed a few (dozen) pounds. But since I didn't get breakfast at the apartment, I had to get vending machine food. And, of course, a burrito for lunch. But I had a healthy dinner, so hopefully that'll make up for it.

After class ended, I was walking to the parking garage (which is INSANELY far from my last class) and it started raining. I had no umbrella. Because I had my laptop in my bag, like I usually do, I was worried that, since the rain was getting harder and the garage was still far away, it would get fried. So I went to the campus bookstore, shelled out 12 bucks for the cheapest umbrella I could find, and when I got back out of the store, it had stopped raining. Yay. Took me an hour to get home. I don't know if I'm gonna keep up with the carpool if it takes that long. While I was sitting in the parking garage, not being able to move, I decided to crack open the manual in the glove box about what that little indicator light might be. Turns out, one of my tires has low pressure. I have no earthly idea how to air up a tire! So meh.

And then my babies decide to make me laugh. Sophie got her foot caught in the loop of a grocery bag, so there was a rustle when she walked. And Toby wants to play with me. How he loves that rope toy. You'd never guess he's eight years old! I loffs my boy <3. And now, I think I shall play tug-o-war. A nice way to end a hectic day.
