And the beat goes on...
Sunday was pretty damn sweet. I ate lunch with various people, including my aunt and my grandpa, and then I got money. ^^;;; I think that's the end of the late birthday gifts... I also got some chocolate and various cookies. We ate at McKormick & Schmick's in Reston. It really wasn't as good as the one in Tysons or New York, though... Well, I say this because I was nauseous from antibiotics, and the soup was too salty. I might avoid the one in Reston like the plague from now on...
After lunch, I went home and changed to go rock climbing. I wasn't sure if we were staying in Great Falls Park or not, so I called people kind of late... Really, we were checking it out, and it was also really hot (though, not as hot as today). It took us 30 min just to park because there were so many people. I forgot the grigri Mel got me for my birthday in my car... so, er, that made things pointless... I need to remember to bring it tomorrow. It's just funny to have two belay devices. Anyway, when we found a spot, a took forever to set things up... The first one was pretty easy. We just went up a crack. The second route (that Jorge didn't bother with) was a bit tricky. There wasn't much of anything to hold on to at the bottom other than a crack with no place to put your feet. Once you got passed that part, it was smooth sailing (well, not for Mel because she's kind of short and couldn't reach certain things). Once Val got up, it was getting pretty dark, so we had to pack up and leave. Jon was supposed to be with us, but Jorge and I ran out of power on our phones, and no one heard Val's ringing... ^^;;;
Later that evening, after we all showered, we convened at Mel & Val's house. Jon even showed up and told us how he went around the park for three hours looking for us. I felt so bad... and he never found us either. We apparently left around the same time. I suppose he left before us because I didn't see his car. I really do wish he shouted our names...
Last night was fun. I picked my mom up from the airport. She was supposed to come in at 8:52 PM, but then called and told me 9 PM. Later on, she called and told me it would be 9:30 PM, so I decided to get ready to pick her up. I showed up nearly an hour after that, and I still ended up waiting an hour before we left the airport. Apparently, customs opened her bags and checked everything and she missed her original flight or something. Always a good thing. XD
Today Kat picked her guinea pigs up, and I cleaned the hay and poo off my floor. Blech. I used 7-10 of those disinfecting paper towels. You may think I'm overexaggerating, but I'm really not... I know I took at least 7 out, but it's possible that I took three more to clean various other places around it. Oh, yeah, so the plan for tomorrow is bank, insurance, food, and, um, climbing in Sterling. I wonder if Naz and her group will go again... I'd set a time, but I really don't know anymore. I'll assume 7:30 PM. Show up whenever.
