Saturday's Are Not My Best

So it is yet, another Saturday that I have spent NOT at a track meet/invitational. I passed my road test on Tuesday and I've been driving everywhere since then. This morning, I was supposed to get up at 6:30 and get everything all ready to go, and then I was going to drive myself to the school and catch the bus for the invitational. But it never fails, I was wide awake at 4:30am and I tried falling asleep but I couldn't. Somewhere around 6:20 I finally fell asleep, and by then I had turned my alarms off because I thought it was pointless to keep them on if I was already awake. Big mistake. The next time I woke up, it was 7:59. I have nothing else to say on that topic.

So now I'm sitting here at my computer after helping my mom with laundry and cleaning out the cat boxes (gag). I decided that I'd write a blog and then, since I missed track, I'd go for a nice, long run. Later, my mom wants me to help her give our cat a lion cut. He's a Maine-coon, so this should be interesting.

I'm sitting here in a huge purple sweatshirt and my ex-boyfriends boxers, and I'm feeling slightly conflicted. I don't know what to do today. I don't know if I want to go out to Lake Grove and pick my sister up and get her lunch, or do I want to stay here and try to find the huge spider that's lurking in the shadows of my room. Do I want to go to the beach? Do I want to go out to the Nature Preserve and walk around or take pictures? I need to pick something before the day escapes me.

Yesterday I went grocery shopping and then I went to McDonald's to pick up my sister and her friend dinner. On the way to the store, I decided that I go a really long way and see where I can drive on my own. Since it was only my third day with a licence, I wanted to see if I could find something without help. So I found the Nature Preserve. I pulled in and my friend called me so I sat in the little parking place and talked to him for a little while. After that, I made my way to the grocery store and then went home. After I unloaded the groceries and did some things around the house. I asked my sister and her friend what they wanted from McDonald's and left. Only I didn't go there first. I went the opposite way and just drove. I was listening to Jack Johnson and I got lost in thought. Eventually, I stopped at a stop sign and realized that I didn't know where I was. So I turned around and somehow made my way back to familiar places and picked up McDonald's. On the way home, I decided to take a quick detour and wound my way up in front of my ex-boyfriends house. Not much has changed, but I guess I wasn't looking for change. I knew he wasn't home, but I just wanted to see his home, just to see it I guess. I have a letter to give him, and I want to put it on his front porch. (I know he'll probably never read this so I'm not worried that he'll find out in advance.) But I've been meaning to give this to him for a long time now. It's nothing really big, it's like a, "I'm-glad-we're-still-friends-because-your-friendship-means-a-lot-to-me" letter. I have it all written, now I just have to find a way to get it on his front porch.

I'm going to end this now because I don't want to keep rambling on about nothing.

Until next time!
