*Go to your friend's basketball practice because she needs you to be a practice player. Realize, with much relief, that indeed you do NOT miss basketball one bit. You have also lost all agility ability (you like that?) and are glad that you are still a physically strong person, just in the endurance/running/spinning way. Not in the sprinting/change directions/speed way. Don't even pretend that you're going to think about going again to be a practice player. You have 0% desire. After being around high school girls, be very very relieved and thankful to Jesus that you are no longer in high school. You cannot stand high schoolers (this is a generalization...I do have some high schoolers that I love dearly).
*Go back home and don't shower. Be gross. It's vacation. Plus showers are WAY WAY WAY overrated.
*Eat soup because again, you feel like a garbage disposal but at the same time feel a little bit guilty because you might as well have licked the grease off the stove at Stephy's (ew) earlier. But crazy...you're hungry again. Call it safe and eat soup. Italian Wedding of course...MMMmmm. Watch stupid TV while you eat it because that's what you do when you eat meals by yourself. Sister Sister comes on and you can't believe you used to watch this crap. So annoying. Shut it off.
*Brush your teeth for good measure because you are about to....
*Go to the dentist because you have some fillings to get YES! The glass is half full the glass is half full. It won't hurt, you won't faint...right? RIGHT! Be really proud of yourself when the dentist is inserting novocaine into your gums for what seems like hours, with that shot-type tool, and you don't even faint! Remind yourself to look anywhere BUT at the tools he is using.
*After getting 3 fillings, go to the grocery store to get a bag of ice. You're going to help a friend make homemade cookies and cream ice cream! Hope and pray that you don't see anyone at the grocery store that you know. Because it WOULD be awkward to see a parent of a student you used to have and the tongue would keep getting in the way of the rest of your mouth and everything would seemingly come out wrong. You still have a very numb left-side of the mouth. You even tried to put chapstick on earlier but no matter how hard you pushed, there didn't seem to be any application success. But then once looking at the mirror you realize that you have a big wad of chapstick sitting under your lip, on your chin. You just can't feel it. You look around to make sure no creeper is sitting in their car pointing and laughing. Whew. There's no one. Just a loyal dog sitting in the driver's seat waiting for his owner to come back with a toy shaped like a hamburger. Also the toy squeaks when squeezed.
*Meet up with your friend DeLuca and make ice cream. Well, while the intention to help was there, you end up watching her make it. You are offered a couple of things in the next 10 minutes. The first is her old ice cream maker, which she is using at the moment. You think it over and realize that although you would be the obvious #1 candidate for a hand-me-down i.c. maker, you'd be too lazy to make it yourself. Because, who wants to put all the time and effort into making ice cream when there are local grocer's freezers all over? And these freezers and filled with an abundance of flavors and excitement. The second thing offered to you is a kitten. You actually, seriously, contemplate the simple idea of answering, "yes." And then you return to reality sooner than later (thank goodness) and realize that while it would be a super thing for about 3 days, it would only be a super thing for 3 days. Because then the kitten will probably have to be fixed, then have surgery because he is run over by a car, and I'll have to go to a therapist because I've entered a bout of depression because I'm so sad about this cat that I said yes to on impulse. Then it will get older and I will look at my mature budget (ha) and notice that I have spent my life's savings on kitty litter, kitty food, and cat toys and pillows and collars and maybe even some paw shoes. I will have turned into a cat person and will have said yes to 5 more cats. My things will be covered with hair and I will start coughing up hair balls. Well, anyway, I ended up saying no. And the ice cream was dynamite.
*Eat Thai food and watch Swing Vote with friends. Enjoy the Thai food and the ice cream and the friends and the movie. Be excited and proud that you did not even fall asleep during the movie, although you were very close a couple of times. You even twitched. You also played a lot of Scrabble on-line. A new addiction that I realize has GOT to stop. But it's just that I'm so good I can't help it. Muahahh. JK JK.
*Return home to blog. Revel in your newly cleaned room. Be a little disappointed that once again you have gotten no donations in the mail or on your donation page. Be grateful that you hounded DeLuca for a donation, though. Yay DeLuca.
*Be excited for the TNT run tomorrow, and the shoe clinic and the purchase of new ones in the morning.
****LOL. I'm out****
