so far, this spring break had been exhausting. all of friday, i got ready for my trip. the two seconds of free time i had were spent driving to and from the mall, in order to see dylan for the last time. and then we left. we drove from 5pm until 1am, crashing at a quality inn with outside doors located all of 12 feet from a railroad junction that transported oil for all of the major names. the engineers blew their horns EVERY time they passed the hotel. with every 10 minutes that passed, so did 3 screaming trains. joy. the next day we woke up at 7 (!) and were on the road by 8. we drove, with gitsy whining and crying the whole way, until 8 at night, stopping every few hours to let gitsy out of her cage or to look for prom dresses. we got pizza from the mellow mushroom, went shopping at whole foods, got cookies and chai from the mad hatter, and went to my grandma's. i ended up going to bed around midnight at my aunt's.
this morning, i got up at 9 to get to church by 11, and then grocery shopped and helped transport people from grandma's to my aunt's until about 5:30, not really sitting down at all for 5 hours. now people are cooking and doing homework and putting groceries away, and all i want to do is sleep. my mom's not making food i can eat, anyways. and i have that dumb bio lab to do still.
when does spring break become a break?
