the_rckI'm up right now because I ate too much at dinner. That was a good five hours ago, but things won't settle enough to let me sleep. I also couldn't get my mind to settle down, either.
Since it's after 1 a.m., I will refer to the 26th as yesterday from here on out. Why not?
Scott and I didn't get up until after 9. I think it was closer to 10 by the time Scott emerged from the bedroom. Neither of us were very motivated to get moving, but he was feeling considerably better after a good night's sleep.
We had lunch at Totoro. Parking was difficult. Scott found a space right in front of the restaurant, but he started at a bad angle and kept bouncing off the curb and nudging the car in front of us. Some random guy came by and yelled at Scott for that (as far as I could tell, it wasn't his car).
After lunch, we went to the Secretary of State's office so I could renew my driver's license. It took less time than it might have because they were sorting out the easy things and giving them to a new employee, and a driver's license renewal was considered easy. I expected a written test and an eye exam, but they did neither, just had me sign a couple of forms and pay them. The photo for the license wasn't great, but I didn't think we were likely to get a better one by trying again.
Scott made a quick trip into Plum Market before we headed back into town. He forgot that Huron had construction, so he took Dexter instead of Miller, and that dumped us onto Huron which was one lane only for a very, very long way. At least, it was one lane going in the direction we needed.
Scott dropped me off at Bubble Island as there was no parking. I got bubble tea for all three of us. Unfortunately, I didn't hold onto the tray that the drinks had come on firmly enough, so it, with Cordelia's bubble tea, slid off my lap and onto the floor. The cup split, so we had lychee flavored green tea all over the car floor. We ended up just not telling Cordelia we'd had bubble tea and making sure that we had finished ours well before she got home. (I also had to put my shirt in to soak because it had gotten strawberry green tea all down the front.)
It was Tuesday, so Cordelia didn't come home until 4, and she brought two other kids with her. Those two come every Tuesday and Thursday. The three kids played until the other kids' father came to get them, around 5:30. Then Scott dragged Cordelia off to wrap presents while I talked to my brother on the phone.
Some time after 6, we headed out to Red Lobster. They weren't at all crowded, so we were seated immediately, and our food came fairly quickly. We all ended up with leftovers. I managed to drop food on myself at least twice. I really wish I was better at not doing that.
After dinner, we went to Dairy Queen. I wasn't sure it was a good idea given Scott's cold and the fact that Cordelia seems to be coming down with it, too, but Scott seemed to think it would be okay. Scott and Cordelia had small chocolate dipped cones. I had a small Heath blizzard.
When we got home, we discovered that my step-father had called while we were out. That surprised me because he and Mom pretty much never remember anybody's birthday (they didn't acknowledge Cordelia's in any way). Then one of my sisters called (the other one is 23 years younger than I am, and I don't think she has the slightest idea when my birthday is).
After I got off the phone, I opened presents. Cordelia had been making faces at me and pointing at the clock while I was on the phone because she knew it was her bedtime, but she still wanted to see me open presents. (She was eager to get to bed because she was feeling sick.) I got two books, two CDs, and two DVDs.
After Cordelia went to bed, Scott and I watched last night's episode of Antiques Roadshow. We were in bed with the light off by 11:15. And then, I couldn't sleep.
Hopefully, now I can.
