yep
yesterday was interesting: before i even got up, dr. p calls and has to reschedule me lesson for tomorrow. ok, that's fine. in leu (sp) of me lesson, the family goes to the movies to see spiderman 2. amanda and i were supposed to go see that today. unfortunately, i had to go straight to me cello lesson after the movie, then drive out to NMB for nan's meeting while pa and i ate at flynn's irish tavern (marty flynn is in the AOH w/ pa). so that was fine. i come home at 9 something, try calling ms. amanda, but it was busy. fran calls, asking me to work today, and i asked me folks to tell me when they're off the phone. they didn't. i called amanda again later, only to find out she was sleeping. i looked at the clock: 10:45! sorry mrs. alison!! so then i got up today at 7:30 to work at fran's again, for the last day. didn't know if amanda was going to the barn or not, since it's been so wet (and so HOT...over 100 in some places). so i didn't want to call until later. unfortunately, later was too late. amanda had to go pick up her mother, i felt too bad, but we've STILL got the 2 weeks after she gets back from boston and i get back from topsail. but yeah...finished fran's yard today, just cuttin up grass and junk w/ the lawnmower. the outside greenery looks decent, now if only the inside looked as good. after working for, almost 4 hours i think (w/ LONG breaks because fran was there for the first time and couldn't work that long), we soaked in his hot tub for 10-15 mins. first time in a water-logged environment, shower not included, in a while. jeremy just doesn't want to go to the waterpark a lot, well...when he's here at least. i'm really enjoying the silent nights w/o him. i thought i'd be crazy w/ that background noise, but i can hear the clocks ticking downstairs, the insects outside, and if i can get away w/ it, leave the tv on. i just enjoy that passive background noise; i'm one of the peeps that need to do at least 2 things at once. but yeah...people ask me if i'm going to miss my family when i'm away. here's the answer: doubt it. take yesterday for instance: nan does NOT trust me driving. she had to drive to my cello lesson and NMB, but i could drive pa around after she drove to her meeting (mainly because he CAN'T drive yet because of his pacemaker). but that's beside the point. listen to this: on the way home (which she drove, of course), she asked if she could get over in the other lane, because she's too old to look herself behind or in the mirrors. she can't even buckle up right!!!! ergle...anywho. we were in a 3-flippin-lane highway, and we were in the middle, and she wants to know if she can get over!!!! to WHERE???? she gets pissy at me when i don't know, when i can't read her mind. i'm a very technical person; i like to know how and what things are, and to know how it fits into the grand scheme of things. you've gotta be very explicit around me. but i digress AGAIN. we got into another argument, the first time in less than a week (and first since jeremy left) about how arrogant i was and so "perfect" but not really and how i think i'm better than everyone else. same old, same old. but it only lasted until the car ride home. really, i think she was mad at pa for not picking up these uber cool napkins she ordered at marty's while we were there eating. ok..i think i'm done for now. until later!
