watertown for a few hours
all in all, this trip was totally worth it.
but, we'll start with where my last entry left off, yes?
woke up sunday morning, wanting to snuggle. schmitty woke up wanting to brush his teeth. i quickly found myself feeling snubbed for toothpaste, which doesn't feel good. not exactly how i'd wanted the day to start (actually, i'd wanted it to start with a snuggle). things were resolved before i had to leave for work.
i'm kind of sick of my brain. i don't think i should have that emotional a response to toothpaste. there were a million justifications behind it, but in the end it was still a little thing and i should have just let it go and hugged him. why is that so hard sometimes?
anyway, i sleep-walked thru the morning show, hopped home for dinner only to find schmitty and echo still there. that was a nice surpise, because the goodbyes earlier had been brief and testy (at least with schmitty, not echo). dined, gave proper love (i know it's only three days. whatever), and went back to work ready to actually work. the evening show was pretty cool because we had the signers in, and that was fun. i tried to learn as much as i could, but all i learned was stuff i could have figured out (the world for yellow, the word for horn, the word for amen). i got all my work done as fast as humanly possible, and hopped right onto the highway. i would have made it all the way to watertown without any trouble, IF about 30 miles outside Harrisburg, my windshield wipers hadn't decided to completely stop working. just no more wipers. which wouldn't have been a problem if it hadn't been raining. and there hadn't been a ton of trucks to pass. and it hadn't been periodically foggy as fuck.
unsafe driving conditions? what? psh.
so, i made the last 5 hours of my trip with me squinting through this tiny little patch of mostly clear windshield down near the wipers. it made the drive home much longer and more frightening than i wanted, but at least i wasn't in danger of falling asleep at the wheel. every turn in the road provided enough heartpounding fear to keep me awake.
home by 5:30am, and i sat around talking with daddy for an hour before he had to get ready for work.
i had planned on waking up at 9am and squatting at my endo's until they'd see me, but i slept right thru the alarm. didn't wake up till 11:30, and that's only because rickster called me. so, thank you rick, you saved my butt.
i hustled down to my endo's, and explained my dilemma, and they rushed some blood work and a consultation for me. it was only $115 to see the endo in watertown, which is $200 cheaper than it would have been in dc. that makes a HUGE difference.
so now i have a two month supply of meds, which means i can stop trying to make the meds stretch out, and go back to actually taking a pill/day like i'm supposed too! CRAZY!
dr. fish continues to rock my world. she has been the best endo i could hope for.
i also went to payless and bought a pair of boots and heels because it was bogo on clearance shoes. two pairs for under $35. that rocks! ran into angel and mike on my way out, but i didn't have time to play, because i had to run back to the endo's. it was a nice surprise, none the less.
now i'm exhausted. i wanna go discount shopping, but i also wanna sleep. oh! what to do!?
ps: dear broadway. please stop striking. i wanna see stoppard.
