A week in the life of...
I am so happy to be home. Life gets back to normal. I hate being away from my home and my stuff, my shower and my bed. So, to fill you in on my trip, I’ll start from Tuesday.
Left Thompson, got to Winnipeg, nothing exciting, except I could already tell the hubby and I would be getting on each others nerves this trip. Called my sister, decided it was too late to go for a visit, and the hubby and I went for supper. Meat lasagna, a chicken sandwich with fries, 2 7-up and 2 OJ. 50 bucks. I guess that’s what you get in those fancy hotels. Nice bed. REALLY nice bed. The comforter was so fluffy; you had to kinda push it down to see the TV at the end of the bed. Really comfy.
Got up the next day, headed for my doctor’s appointment after the hubby was off to his course. Paid for my parking, 2 hours worth (no, there is no foreshadowing there) and made my way up. Paid from 9:04am-11:04am, my appointment was for 9:45am, lots of time right? Yeah, I got outta there about 11:30, and lookie here, a fucken parking ticket! Not a city one mind you, but still. Time: 11:14, 10 stupid minutes after it expired. Thanks for having any heart assholes! Especially after I found a buck and gave it to the parking guy! Left there upset, decided to go and get hubby a sandwich for his lunch, went to Timmy Hoes. Ordered him a turkey sandwich, and they started to make it without asking me what I wanted. My hubby is picky, so no sauces…ever…for him. So I told them all I wanted was turkey and lettuce...and the person started bitching at me for not telling the cashier what I wanted! And bitched me out for 5 minutes about how she would have to throw this one away and what a waste of food...ETC...almost to tears now... So I get outta there, and I am behind this cement truck at a stop sign, a live bird falls out and onto the road. Now I am in tears. I wanted to stop my car and help the bird to the side so he didn’t die, but I knew that I would be in big trouble if I did that so I drove away. Luckily, I saw in my rearview, the bird flew away a couple of seconds later. Delivered lunch to the hubby and left to go and see my sister. Had a nice visit in the afternoon, really needed the beer she offered, and went and got the hubby for supper, and went to Boston Pizza. MMMMM!!!!! Visited after supper for a bit, made plans for the next day, and went back to the hotel...and crawled into those wonderful comfy beds again.
Got up and left grumpy sleeping, coffee at the sis’s place. Got him a little later, and went shopping. I love the Crypt. I love everything there. Got my sis’s nose pierced. SWEET!!!! I looks soooo good on her! I don’t think her BF likes it, but its her body, not his! Continued to do more shopping for the rest of the day, had supper at the sis’s place, then we headed down to see Bears on Broadway, which is a fundraiser for CancerCare Manitoba. Companies had artists paint the concrete bears and put them on display. They were really nice. I enjoyed the walk, although we only did half of them. Drove forever after that, but went to a really awesome ice cream place once sis’s BF remembered where it was. Back to the hotel for one more nite in those awesome beds.
Was up early yesterday, and decided to let grumpy sleep again...and went down the rest of Broadway to see the bears I had missed. Decided to take a self-led tour of Manitoba Legislature, and walked back to the hotel. I had a great time. Hopped into the car and went for coffee with sis again, spent the morning there, picked up hubby before checkout, had some lunch, (I like Quiznos subs,) went to a pet store, and traveled home. Busy, but well worth it trip...the hotel was quite lovely, even though the hubby and I got the “discount” rooms I think. Sis’s BF thinks that it was prolly maids quarters or for a nanny...still nice, but some things just weren’t perfect enough to be a rich persons room. I had an awesome visit with the family, and it reminds me that I really miss my sis and nephew... :(
Now, there was of course some drama that I didn’t fill in to my doings of the week, like, how the hubby and I could not get along. Whether one or the other was an ass, we fought when we were together. I was not innocent, but merely more bitchy then usual. For good reason I think...but of course, I prolly was way too bitchy. For instance, after the day of shopping, hubby got a new book, but couldn’t put it down when we were visiting, and I think that it was rude. The same nite, when I was parking to see the bears, he commented on how bad I was I parallel parking. Now, I had made a lot of comments about how bad I am at parking, I know that, and there is no place in Thompson to parallel park, so I never get any practice. I know its one driving thing I suck at. But he starts in on me about how bad I was at it...I got really mad! He chooses not to drive in the city, so even though I suck at something...SHUT THE FUCK UP! So yeah, from Winnipeg to Grand Rapids yesterday (about 4hrs of the trip), I bet we didn’t say much more then 15 words, but once we passed Grand Rapids, things got better. And once we got past our door, things were back to normal. I think it was mostly that we were outta our routine, plus, we never ever spend this much time together because of our work, we just got to each other. I was talking about this over breakfast with the guys this morning, and one of them said that he and his wife are the same way. They can’t stand each other when they go to Winnipeg...he says that its because the city stresses them out. Maybe that’s what happened...
So now we are back, and I ruined my roomies morning (see dreamfilled’s journal and comments) and I am back to work. I guess the week was pretty hectic without me. Maybe they will remember that...Maybe I’ll never get to go on holidays again... but I am happy to be home. There really is no place like it.
