Yes, it’s Friday Night!

It’s Friday night and here I sit at home. I usually spend my every weekend at Alfee’s house, but since I have so much packing to do, I need to be here. He has things to do with his brother tomorrow because there’s no telling when his brother will be shipped out, so he’s staying at home. It’s for the best because he would be really bored here.
He did come down to take me to dinner, though. I had a yummy steak with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. Yes, it was super delicious and I am now hungry again and wish that I had another meal just like it to eat.
Naturally, because this is my luck we’re talking about, we get seated next to a party of the loudest and most obnoxious patrons. I do realize that when you’re out at dinner, having a few drinks and having a good time, you tend to be a bit wild. I don’t expect people to be saints because I am sitting there and I’m a princess. It’s just being polite. You don’t have to explode with the loudest laugh ever or scream to the people across the table from you. These people were so loud that Alfee and I could barely hear each other unless we too wanted to yell, which we didn’t. It was so bad that I was getting a headache.
When we came home, Alfee and I decided that he might as well take home some of his stuff. We went through every drawer of mine and got his clothes, socks and underwear out of. Also, from the closet. We were both relatively surprised at how much clothes he had here! It all but filled the back of his SUV. I think he had more socks here than he has at home, and in better shape, too. Most of his clothes smells like cedar wood, so he has a lot of laundry to do over his weekend.
Like I have a lot of packing.
My mother and I were supposed to clear a path to take out some furniture tomorrow for the dump. After she ate, she said to wake her up in an hour and a half. But, my mother is the laziest person in the world. I don’t know why I fell for the “I’ll get up” line again. I tried and I tried again, but she refused to get up. Now, she is going to be extra stressed and full of curses tomorrow when she has to rush clean to clear a path.
I warned her.
