i've pretty much been living at my aunt's house for the past four days. even though she's been doing great since her surgery, she still needs help doing some things around the house, and it also gives her some company. plus it gives me something to do. today, she just about worked me to death, or so it seemed, because she wanted the mopping and sweeping done, but it wasn't too bad. i just basically pick up things because she can't bend over, or i lift things that are too heavy for her. i do whatever she needs me to do. i've actually enjoyed staying with her. i don't usually get to spend a whole lot of time with her one-on-one, so it's been nice. we've talked about things going on in both of our lives and about others. it's been relaxing. i hooked up her DVD player, so for the past three nights, we've watched at least one movie. we watched Secret Window on Tuesday night because i bought it that day at Walmart. i was so excited when it came out. i got it right away. then i rented some movies, and we watched Love Actually. it was a pretty good movie. i had been wanting to see it for a long time. it was a feel-good movie that really gave me some hope. it really made me think. i swear, i was so inspired by that movie, that if i would have had Seth's number, i would have called him up right then. maybe. i had the whole scenario planned out in my head. i knew exactly what i would say. i just didn't know how he would react. one way would be for him to confess that he felt the same way. that would have been the good reaction. another way would have been for him to walk away, laughing. not so good. unfortunately, i did not have his number, and i still do not, and that feeling of confidence and hope has passed, so i am back to square one. last night we watched Cold Creek Manor. not very scary at all. i was expecting much worse. however, i was still jumpy afterward, for some reason. i was washing my face, and my aunt had come to the sink to wash her hands, and i said that soap was running down my arms. my aunt decided to wipe off my arms, but when i felt the towel, i screamed, not knowing what was touching me. i screamed at a few other things also. i'm not sure what the deal was.
i'm leaving bright and early tomorrow morning for my sister's house. i don't feel like getting up and leaving at 6:00 AM, but i suppose i have no choice. i plan on sleeping in the car. i'll wake up when we get there. it should be fun. i usually always enjoy myself. i get to see Kaitlyn and Jared and, oh yeah, my sister, and her husband.
i suddenly don't feel like writing anymore. i need to get to bed, or i definitely will not want to get up tomorrow.
