So, yeah. I need to update this thing, given all that's happened this past week through this weekend.
This week has been extraordinarily shitty. I fought with Michelle constantly, my work schedule was all fucked up (messing me up both psychologically and physically), and I was just in a bad mood 24/7. They continued to get progressively worse until, with a strange and surprising twist of fate, I found out that I had 40 hours clocked at work and had to go home. I was scheduled to work Saturday, but I was told not to; if I did, I'd be going well into overtime and they really couldn't have that. So they sent me home at around 10:00 Friday morning, and I had the next two days off.
My first thought: go see Michelle.
I called her the moment I got home and asked her what her plans for this weekend were. She essentially told me she didn't have any, and promptly asked why I was asking. I told her very plainly that I wanted to come down and spend the weekend, and she totally started blissing out like a panda on crack.
I got ready, threw some stuff in my bag, and hit the road. I let my mom and Bruce know where I was going, but I didn't tell my father because - basically - he'd have restricted me from going because I'm technically driving his car.
Anyway, I made it down safely and had a wonderful first night with Michelle. We went out for Thai food (we ate Daffy Duck!) and hung out at her dorm (where I'm allowed to stay because she lives in a co-ed dormitory). On Saturday, we went to the farmer's market and I got pickles and an omelet! We also relaxed and got some much-needed rest. Then, we went to the Charleston symphony (where they performed old Astair and Garland hits) followed by a get-together at Michelle's friend's house (where I played a decent round of GameCube Mario Kart and Michelle kicked everyone's asses).
Now, it's Sunday and I must return home. Michelle and I are going to have some breakfast and then go down to Barnes & Noble (again, bookstores are our thing). After that, unfortunately, I must leave. I have work tomorrow, plus Michelle is working for the March of Dimes thingamajig today.
However, she will be coming down on Friday, so it'll be an insanely short period of time before I see her again (for which I'm extremely grateful).
