Home alone
Being alone in the house definitely has its advantages, but every time I notice how much work it is, to do everything by yourself when the're gone; our veggie garden had to be maintained, watering the plants, driving around for my grandparents, washing the car...
Monday was the famous Lost Marathon at my house and I managed to convert my friends into being Sawyer and Boone fans:P. Unfortunately my dvd player broke down in the middle of the afternoon and we had to move the party to my friends' house somewhere in the middle of nowhere*grin*. Had to drive a friend to the train station at 10pm and we were both freaking out whether it was the 'big bend' already or to just drive right ahead. I chose the big bend and was right, luckily, cos it was mighty dark in the woods and I was scared to death hoping I wouldn't meet a trespasser;). I was glad when I reached the main road:D
Tuesday 2 friends of my high school came in the afternoon to just catch up. One of them is graduated this year and she is applying for a job, garden architect. The other one is studying law and still has 3 years to go. It was nice, but I felt uncomfortable with silences so I tried to lead the conversations so there was always something to say. I hadn't seen them much over the past 3 years since we left high school graduation. And much has happened that they don't know off. They are a part of my past, but I'm not sure if they will ever be that close again as they were back then.
Yesterday was not very fun. My grandmother let me drive around the whole morning to find some cold dish to eat since the heatwave is still very present over here. I didn't find anything and she got annoyed with me. Somehow she thinks I can fly in 15 minutes in traffic from the middle of the city till my home in the 'country-side'. She then had made reservations in a restaurant and I told her on my cell I would be there around noon, but around doesn't mean exaclty 12 o'clock. And she was annoyed again when I arrived there at 15 past noon. That made me pissed too, even though I shouldn't since they are pushing 80 and are feeling under the weather but sometimes you just can't help yourself;). I didn't get better at the restaurant. First, she felt a draft and took another place. Then, there was too much sun on her left arm. Later, her fish was fried too much. After that, my grandfather got angry at her and told her to shut up. Joy. The only thing that made my day after I came back, was when I went to the mail and found the newspaper page that Tina sent me. Thanks girl!! I appreciate it very much. Tell me if I ever can do something in return for you!
Today I took it easy, it was the first day I could actually sleep late, cos yesterday I had to get up early to take the trash outside. I washed my car this afternoon and thunderstorms are to be expected this evening and tomorrow finally a bit of coolness heading our way. Tomorrow evening my parents are coming home again...end of the good life...
