lifeaslizzieSo, despite the time that I had a good visit with my parents, one brother, Ethan, Chris, Ish, and my grandparents, this weekend was mostly terrible. Here's a brief "why:"
1. I forgot my cell phone charger. My phone was half-charged when I left here, and it only got worse. I didn't get to visit people I wanted to see because their numbers were in my phone, and I ended up turning it off with 1 bar left, for the ride back to NY in case I needed it. Boo.
2. My parents just acquired a brand new kitten, who is absolutely adorable. I love cats but... I am SO allergic. My eyes watered and itched all weekend.
3. I couldn't sleep without Kevin, though I was exhausted beyond belief. It was horrible and lonely. And I didn't have my cell phone battery to call him to rid myself of the loneliness.
4. Winnie pooped on the floor within 20 minutes of our arrival. Thankfully that was the only accident.
5. The pot roast I had for lunch today before hitting the road must not have been totally cooked-- I've run to the toilet every 10 minutes or so since getting back.
6. I lost my ticket for the MA Turnpike, which resulted in my free ride to the Thruway costing me FULL price, like I had driven in from Boston or something, not home. Great. Even better, I found the ticket later. I suck.
7. Due to sleep deprivation, I could barely stay awake to drive back. I terrified Winnie when I swerved over the "WAKE UP!" grooves in the pavement at one point. Oops. Thankfully, I got a second wind about 2 hours into the drive.
8. I missed my other brother by 10 minutes. I knew I should have stuck around longer. At least I got to see Ethan today. (Ethan is a good friend of my brothers' who has become an honorary Bennett Clan member)
9. At Kohl's, I found the ultimate deal on sneakers. I've wanted a pair for running, to replace my Asics which have been demoted to work shoes. I found some snazzy Asics for $55 (already cheap), which rang up at $40. I get home and go to wear them, only to realize I have a size 10 and an 11. I was too excited to try them both-- I only tried the 11 since my others are 11s. FAIL. I had to drive back and look for a match. None to be found. I got my money back but I was very sad.
10. Kevin was supposed to be out of work at 6pm, so he should have been home maybe half an hour after I got back to the apartment. He signed himself up to work overnight! (I appreciate this because we are broke and need every cent we can get, but I was so thrilled to see him, and he won't be back til 6am!)
I called out of work tomorrow morning. I think everyone expected me to, anyway, though they expected it because they assume I will still be in MA. I just want a free day, darn it! And I have the time to use, so... I'm gonna! Kev has the day free, with the exception of class at 6pm. Right now, though, I just need some serious sleep and a shower.
