the amazing times of miss jenny bianchi
so i came home from bham yesterday. it was a lovely trip. i got to hang out with margot & the zapopan gang (including bethany and tricia who will soon be my roomies), observe my classroom (and it only took 1/2 a day), spend time with jess and the baby, see my "rho" and her babe (the thomases), AND hang out with my darling Horace.... overall, i couldn't really have asked for more.
so i woke up yesterday with some sinus issues (damn you pollen!) and took a dayquil before i started driving home...by the time i got to cullman i was miserable. the sinus pressure had progressed into a headache and then to a migraine and my stomach was very unhappy with me. the problem was that i was heading home to go to work for 6 hours... after i had a scare of thinking i might need to pull over and throw up, i called my manager and he was SO nice! he told me if i didn't feel good i didn't need to come in and then did all the footwork of finding someone to replace me, saying if someone comes in, great, if not we will do without. SO nice!!! nurse mom prescribed advil, half a turkey sandwich, and bed...all of which had me feeling a little better after a 2 hour nap. still a little snotty, but my tummy is back to normal.
OH! our air conditioner that cools the upstairs bedrooms (we have two units) has died! gaaah, we all know how i feel about hot weather...especially sleeping in it... the man said it will cost $5,100 minimum to replace it & daddy is out of town... basically that means, we are stuck until daddy can deal with it over the phone from massachusetts. my room is okay right now, but i'd really love to be cool instead of a bit humid.
i think the time is getting very close to me being a fiance instead of a girlfriend. blake has started smiling for no reason & won't tell me what he's thinking (or says he can't tell me which is worse), there's a secret something in his wallet that i'm not allowed to see, my friends are acting weird (which to be honest kind of hurt my feelings at first, but i'm thinking maybe it has something to do with them keeping a secret, so i don't know how to handle it except convince myself that nothing is wrong), AND it's almost april. okay, so the last one is not so convincing, but i just have a gut feeling. this is hard to jenny&blake the best friends who tell eachother everything (even when it's probably better not to)... i know i will survive, i just wish i was oblivious so i wouldn't feel awkward.
what else? blake is coming up to spend the weekend today...fun! (and daddy is out of town, so i'm glad we're gonna have more people in the house---laura is coming up, too---safety in numbers, kids.)
we leave for this year's cherry blossom festival on thursday... laura is the virginia princess this year so essentially we are swapping places. i'm excited to do the relaxed site seeing and spend time with my family. when you are a princess you are with the other princesses all day doing extraordinary wonderful things... it will be fun to watch laura enjoy all of that and get to experience the other side of it.
BLAKE IS COMING UP TO D.C. THURSDAY THE 12th & WILL GO TO THE BALL WITH US ON FRIDAY!!!! we're spending the day touring and site seeing and then eating a big lunch and getting ready for the ball. it's black tie so he'll be in a tux and i'll be dressed up and it will be magnificent.
okay, time to do other things...talk atcha later.
