Today was a bit of a trying day. Woke up with not enough sleep and laid in bed for five minutes wondering how in the hell I managed to get up around 6AM in high school and just get on with it. The good thing was I laid in bed and listened to the mild thunderstorm outside. It's been a long time since that. Drove Mum to work but on little gas and then we got all the way to Centre where we were stopped by a downed powerline in the middle of the road. The authorities were just getting there to deal with it. So we ended up taking a detour through a residential neighborhood and came out beyond that point on Centre. Dropped Mum off, paranoid about running on empty, then ended up following the LONG line of cars taking the residential neighborhood. Straddling empty, stressed cus I was supposed to meet Chris, I sucked it up and gave BP my mother's money. Then met Chris. We had a lovely breakfast of bagels and coffee at Big Apple Bagel and talked about our lives. Glad I know that boy. Then I headed home and arrived just before the real storm hit. Wind and pouring rain, I stayed on weather.com and the tv signal kept going in and out. Finally it ended and I made do watching British shows.
Mum called and had me come pick her up from work because only half the office had power. I collected her then turned around and got Ian for book club. Successful meeting discussing Revolutionary Road. Got an interesting setup for next time--I get to finish Fever series for it, others are reading what they want, will present to group. Then we're making Ian read at least one Fever book! Then I had to go to Target for a mouse for Mum, was annoyed because she said UPC when she meant USB and I was all stressed and confused. More British telly and a salad when I got home and then just stress cus she laid on these errands on me. Sidenote: got a call RIGHT before I was going to leave and I HAVE A JOB INTERVIEW FOR NEXT MONDAY. Wanted me sooner but I don't have a car this week. Would need to sort out transport for earlier as Mum will be gone all week. But anyway, drove ALL the way back to Centre to the credit union, and then it was closed due to lack of power and I had skipped cashing my check and then the bank was closed. I was just a bit frazzled because driving round all day really rather stresses me out. But...ZUMBA.
Kind of bad that actually getting myself to a thing I enjoy on time stresses me out and has become a big thing. Class went by so fast today and I didn't sweat really hard til the latter half. I think she took it easy on us a bit. Then I was bothered by the sun glaring at the windshield a long time. Just every little thing seems to get at me when I'm tired. Made it home, showered, going to see Kyle and Aunt Viv tomorrow instead of sitting around, which is nice. Cleanedish bathroom, did dishes, I am a regular homemaker! Cut coupons, too, and am finally taking time to chill out. Content! :)
