A funny thing happened on the way to the forum....
So I'm here. And I'm sick. Yes, doctors are definitely morons, because now I have a head cold and I'm hacking up my lungs. It feels exactly like the black plague that I got from Estrella. And my chest hurts like whoa from coughing up so much junk. I can't even sleep through the night because I wake up unable to breathe. But I'm just kind of whining currently. Onto the roadtrip story....
So I met up with Rabbit in CA. We stayed with my grandparents who live by the beach. They really liked him, and he enjoyed their company. We went walking along the beach and played on the rocks and he skipped stones and I laughed at him. Afterwards, we went to the Ventura Pier and had lunch at this amazing greek meal. I paid for everything, to which he was not too happy about, and I didn't care. We played at the arcade and took pictures in a photo booth and had nummy ice cream and wandered through the shops and it was awesome. Went home and took a nap because we were both exhausted and I was starting to get sick (teh suck), then had dinner, then went and watched the sunset on the beach. We were snuggled together with a blanket wrapped around us and we were talking and I was singing and we stayed until the sun completely disappeared.
Got up at 3:30am, packed the car up, then left. I drove the CA leg, he drove the AZ leg. We hate each other's driving. We laughed and talked and told stories and sang and enjoyed each others' company. Got to my mom's house in excellent timing, then cooked her brunch for mom's day. I got her irises and she loved them. Promptly took another nap (we seem to be nap addicts) then got up and I cooked dinner. After we went with my mom to my little sister's work and she gave us ice cream. Got to the airport in plenty of time, then played games on the plane. He slept for the last part of the flight, which was fine, 'cause I was singing while he was sleeping on me. Got to LV and got my luggage, then his bro picked us up and took us home. Crashed as soon as I hit the pillow.
Monday I slept in while he went to work, then hung out with Courtney all day. It was fun for the most part. We cleaned his entire room. which was an event in itself. Found a lot of stuff I wasn't too happy about, but Courtney said he never throws anything away, so none of it meant anything. Room's clean now and actually smells nice! She and I went to In-And-Out for lunch on him (found a GC to there he'd never used) then went to Old Navy and I bought NEW PANTS! YAY!!! Got home and grabbed the boys and we all went to sushi at the yummy place he and I went to last weekend. 'Twas amazing. Got home and he watched heroes while I played on the computer, then stayed up too late talking. We suck at that game.
And now I'm here today. I slept in until friggin' 10:30am because I kept waking up in the night because I couldn't breathe. It sucked and I'm groggy and stuffed up and NOT liking it. We're going to Star Trek tonight and I can't wait. He's still learning to let me pay for things and I'm still learning to let him take care of me, so it's not too bad of a mix. He was unhappy I went shopping by myself and I was unhappy he paid for dinner, so tit for tat. I'm still getting used to him, but so far we're doing really well. Honestly, haven't really gotten on each other's nerves that much. I learned he skips lunch and snacks most of the afternoon and evening and he goes to bed kinda early. He has TV shows he's obsessed with and loves reading even if he doesn't have very many books in his room. He's really a lot smarter than he lets people believe, which seems odd to me, but I think his stubbornness counteracts with that. We constantly buck heads and it's not a bad thing, because I'm just as stubborn as he is. So far, I'm chalking our weekend up to a success and our week as starting out on the right foot. Tomorrow's fighter's practice, then I'm cooking Thursday, then our special date Friday, then I have no idea for the weekend. It's nice to be here with him. It's nice having him here the whole time and not just on the phone. I'm looking for a chain to wear his ring because it keeps slipping off and I don't want to lose it. He can make me giggle even while he's got me pissed off to no avail. Makes for one interesting mix I tell you. I just hope the rest of the week goes well, too.
