that isn’t officially out yet. She has a listening party of it at amazon.com so her beautiful voice is playing in the background while I write this.
I had today off. It is the first day of spring break so I thought it would be nice. My homebody kid didn’t want to go out and do anything. Because I really didn’t have any good ideas of what to do and the weather still favors winter, I didn’t push it. I ended up going to Target by myself to buy toilet bowl cleaner and such. I did buy a bistro table for our new patio. We (me and two Target employees) couldn’t fit the box in my car no way. Ended up unboxing it and putting it in all over the car.
When I got home, I got crabby. Probably a delayed response of Sunday night realizing that my day off is over and it is back to work for me. I am off this Friday where we will be doing something spring breaky, sorta, not really. RAW has his surgery downtown Chicago, right next to the hotel we stay at when we hang in Chicago.
Dorothy is driving him mad and just about took me down with him. We are trying to get her here to drive him crazy while he heals (that is my brainy idea that I will never live down). Anyway, because it is last minute now and only a one-way ticket flights are costing over $700. We proposed Amtrak to her but getting to the train station by 7 a.m. was going to be an issue.
So Dorothy calls today and says she just bought a bus ticket. Eight and a half hours on a friggin bus going the opposite direction to Toledo first. I am like no freaking way are you doing that. RAW’s cousins offered to drive her up here but she didn’t want to endure a 5 hour car drive but she has no problem with the bus from hell for over 8 hours? While she is telling me this, she is still in the bus station while a homeless woman begs her for money. Lovely.
I proposed an alteration to the train idea by telling her to have someone take her to Waterloo the afternoon before to a hotel 5 miles away. Then she can cab it to the train by 7:00 no problem. She then can walk a few yards to the Fox Lake Metra and then walk to our house. Which will be interesting because she is determined to just go straight to the hotel from Chicago but at 9:30 a.m. there will be no hotel.
Now we will have to figure how to get her home. Next week proves to be a challenging week as RAW’s mom babies him into insanity. Good times I say!
