Walkies

It was very warm today. After our argument about the thermostat last night, today would be a day to literally open EVERY window and let in fresh air. But she still has the heat on. Because heaven forbid, fresh air.

Last night, I was warm,  and uncomfortable. I didn't fall asleep until after 1am, stupidly. And then I woke up with the birdies around 6:30. 

Mom had already been up and she turned on the coffee, took her meds, and went back down to her room to wait for the time when she could eat/drink. She has to wait a while after taking one of her meds. 

I poured my coffee, drank it, and pondered the outside. It was early but never too early to call C. 

I let mom know I was taking a walk ("Be Careful") and went out and called C. She kept me company for the over a mile walk around the neighborhood. It was perfect weather, just the best temperature, no wind. Perfect. 

We had a very busy work day. I skipped lunch with mom because I was supposed to have a meeting, but, the girl didn't show up (boo). Lunch would have been nice, but I've got that covered for Thursday. Will get a make up date then. 

After work tonight, I went and made some photo copies at Staples, and got a bunch of stuff ready to mail out first thing in the morning. I went to Lowes and bought a fan for this room because last night I was fucking roasting like a goddamn rotisserie chicken. I haven't set it up yet but ... will.

I went to get a pedicure after going over to that side of the shopping plaza, but they were so busy she asked if I could come back in an hour. I didn't feel like coming back in an hour, so, I made an appointment for 5:30 tomorrow.  It will be nice to knock that to-do item out of the park. 

Then I thought about going to buy a dress, but was feeling more hungry and less shoppy. So I went to a new restaurant in downtown to treat myself to a meal. And a beer.

I ordered wings, asking "are they deep fried and crispy?" and the girl told me oh hell yes they are. 

Insert narrator voice: No, they were not. 

Still they tasted okay even if they weren't how I like them. I got a salad and then regretted it. Like, why didn't I just get a burger or a cubano or something more hefty. Salad is uninspiring. 

My mother called, all worried that I'd been gone all of 45 minutes. I thought about just not answering the phone at all. Just. No. But I knew she'd call and call again.

I paid, and got a box for my salad to go home with. I'll eat it for lunch tomorrow with some of my other chicken stuffs. I fought the temptation to go to Walmart and get some Entenmann's something, or a big danish, something crunchy, something sweet. I knew I had no snacky things at home but just didn't want to deal with it all. Just go back to the house.

Jess and I hadn't chatted for a bit, so we had a 2 hour yap. Very delightful. Told them about my knee and the Treadmilltastrophe, we talked about the wedding and how her friend is doing with stress and family.  They are going to come here on Sunday for a visit, to see Grandma and if I need help buying a dress, a set of eyes to assist.

My mom came down the hall three times while I was chatting with Jess to ask if I was using the internet. I told her yes. YES. I had a hockey game on. Yes. I'm using the internet. I have work to do after I'm off the phone. Leave me alone. Stop asking. Leave the internet on. Ohmygod i'm gonnnnnna kill youuuuu. 

Anyway. 

Time for bed. Well, set up the fan first. It may come in super handy. I'm hot already.
