LONGEST DAY OF MY LIFEEEEEEEEEE
GAH.
Got up, went practically downtown to meet Amalie for lunch at Pei Wei (that I couldn't find for ten minutes, yeesh), then rush back through traffic on Kirby (effffff youuuuuu Houston construction traffic, effff youuuuu) to work at the J.
Turns out there is the last home swim meet tonight. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Sorry, that was just my lack of soul crying out to the universe. Ken and Stanley are both breathing down my neck, I'm having to do a whole bunch of stuff I don't know how to like moving lane ropes and setting up chairs and stuff and thank god for Ellen. She knew the drill and basically shadowed me and helped me through the whole ordeal. Once Ken and Stanley left, most things went swimmingly (except for the cascading disappearances of guards, YIKES that was making me feel like I was going plumb loco). Clean up was a bitch and a half, but got done within normal time constraints.
Downside to all this was, I was intending to go down to Surfside tonight and hang at the bonfire/guard party thing, but I can't even muster the energy to drive to go fill up the car with gas, let alone an hour drive plus drinking. So none of that, booo. As I told Zach, "I haven't sunk into oblivion recently," and I'm kinda gettin' that feeling like I want to.
ANYway, going to 59 Diner with Abby and Zach (and probalby Yixin) to reward myself with a milkshake and some deliciousness.
