She breathes a massive sigh of....hm. Of something.
It rained last night. This being Michigan, my automatic fear was that it was going to freeze and give us a road of ice. Not so. When I woke up it was sunny and the snow was melting. I tried to control myself as best as I could with cautious optimism. "If we get hit with a terrible storm soon, I'll be expecting it because we're still in February and this is Michigan. If the snow decides to stay away and we get an early spring, that's great." Yes, I realize I'm negotiating with the weather. I'm desperate.
This morning I woke up with this overwhelming sense of dread. What a way to start the day, I know. I don't even know why, I guess it was just normal human paranoia about the universe and things going awry. Or something. Whatever it was, it was annoying and making me nervous and a little butterfly-y. When sleepiness finally managed to overcome this weird feeling, I didn't wake up again until 1 or so in the afternoon. Watched two episodes of Family Guy I've never seen, one of which was the episode where Stewie and Brian go back in time to the day the Nazis invaded Poland. Anya and I were really hoping for a Springtime For Hitler number, because the opportunity presented itself SO OBVIOUSLY and everything. But they ended up not doing any sort of charming musical number because Mort was with them. *shakes fist*
After that we went to Craig's place, and packed up a lot of stuff. I still don't have everything out, but tomorrow after work I plan to meet my mom there to help me grab some more stuff. (Or should I say today after work since it's now 1:32 AM.)
After that, we proceeded to Serenity's, where we coincidentally met up with Jackie and Chelsea. We got some tea, some food, and then walked around with Jackie and Chotz for a while checking out what shops were still open. We went to What To Wear, which is a radically expensive store, but I still walked out with two pieces of clothing that were 70% off ticket price. I'm sure they were ridiculously marked-up in price to begin with. There's no way the dress I bought was worth $84, nor the shirt $70. I seriously doubt I'll ever go into that store and buy something at regular price. That aside, I really like what I got. I also rediscovered how much I really do like Jackie and Chelsea, and it is a shame I didn't get to hang out with them more in the past.
When we parted ways, Anya and I mosied into Horizon Books for a while and looked at art magazines and the art on the walls done by local high school students in the basement. Then, not sure how else to avoid going home, we tried Jacob's Well, which I'd never been to, but they were hosting a NA meeting. Later we found out Jacob's (or is it Jakob's??) is only open between from Thursday to Sunday. Ah well, another day. We decided to try the college to see if we could find someone we knew. Wandered and waited around for a while until we ran into someone Anya knew, who signed us in to the dorms to get to J Dub's room. We loafed around there for a while and then took off; I took Anya home so she could go to her big meeting tomorrow (today....) and I get to work. *shrug* So here I am, back at my dad's place. Pretty tired but felt like typing this up before sleeping. All in all it was kind of...a weird day, I felt very lost in my own thoughts and just kind of gone to the world, I couldn't really get out of the initial weirdness I felt in the morning.
Tomorrow promises nothing exciting with work, it's pretty much the same routine every time. But it's money. And after that and more moving out, I'll probably go see Anya depending on how the day plays out, of course. I'm trying to get in as much Anya time as I can, partly to make up for lost time, and partly because I plan to move out of state and I don't know what her plans are.
