The remains of the day
Wednesday was...long. I didn't sleep worth shit and finally awoke for good around 9. Wandered around getting packed (the ETA I had was vague: late afternoon), finally went out for gas and stuff. (It's a sorry state of affairs when I'm pitifully grateful to "only" pay $2.98 a gallon for gas.) After that, since I was in the area, I went to a newish discount place AI has been touting. Discovered that their plus sizes aren't, really, but found a denim fedora w/ a rhinestone buckle for $2.97, a melon-striped men's shirt for $3.49, and, planning ahead for the bordello boudoir, a pair of ornate gold wire over-the-door racks---$4.99 each.
Grabbed lunch at BK, went back to the house, and ended up crashing in one of the recliners in the family room, which was actually more comfortable than the #$%&ing guest bed. Napped for an hour or two.
We had the first real "boom and crash" afternoon shower of the season---I was glad I didn't have to drive in it, although this was quite a bit later than my commute time anyway, about 5-ish. And frankly, after seven months of commuting, I've gotten over a lot of my highway hysteria (at least when I'm driving).
"Late afternoon" turned out to be 7 PM. PJ got me postcards (per my request), and AI got me a new tarot deck (total surprise!). The C's thanked me profusely, and they're taking me to dinner at Outback on Saturday evening. (Rack o' lamb, here I come!)
I stopped by Walgreens on the way home, and dropped off the RX I got from the dentist weeks ago and have been carrying around ever since...my mouth is screaming without a sound, which isn't the happiest of homecomings. Although, even with that, I'm glad to be home. It may be a pit, but by golly, it's MY pit. I'm very much looking forward to my own bed!
My original plan when I requested this Saturday off was to cruise down to Vero for a car show they're having, but instead, B and I are going to see how much more we can get done here. (And I'm going over to her place before work on Friday to help her take up some water-damaged carpet---although we've made that plan before and had to cancel.)
It would be nice if we could get the white wall shelf hung, although B said something about a plan to organize my TV stand...not *my* highest priority, but she's the organizational genius, so I'll go along with it....
