the_rckI actually went out yesterday. Scott and I went to the library and then Whole Foods before we picked up Cordelia and her friend (Whole Foods was two minutes from where they were, and we had time to kill before going there). All four of us went for bubble tea. The only time I had trouble was the walk from the parking structure to bubble tea and back. I think it’s that twelve year old girls walk faster than I’m quite up to while Scott was willing to keep to my pace.
The movie watching thing was apparently just Cordelia, her best friend, and the boy who had invited them. Cordelia hastened to assure me that the boy’s mother and her boyfriend were there, too, and that the boy’s sister was 'somewhere in the house, I think.' They watched Scott Pilgrim. The whole thing seems to have been set up between the boy and Cordelia’s friend which makes me wonder if the original invitation was just for the friend and Cordelia ended up included to make it less like a date. I’m not sure the other girl’s parents would have given permission if Cordelia hadn’t been invited, too.
Cordelia told me a couple of days ago that she doesn’t want to be a stupid teenager, doing stupid things. I pointed out that, when you’re right there, sometimes it’s hard to tell that those things are stupid. I know she was trying to reassure me that she has more sense than to do things that are unsafe and/or illegal, but… She’s twelve. The way she views those things is likely to change. I don’t think she’s going to be wild or anything, but who knows?
I did a little bit of Ingress while we were out and about, but we were moving fast enough that, by the time the program caught up with what I was trying to do, we were nearly always out of range. I don’t do a lot with Ingress because I don’t get out very often. Maybe in the spring.
The library has a set of CDs that I’m considering checking out, but there are 63 of them in the box, and the dratted thing only has a two week check out period. I’m not sure I want to take on that much in that short a period when I might or might not be able to renew. I have no idea how anybody who worked or had classes or did anything at all during the day would get through even a fraction of those. Maybe they expect that anyone who checks the set out will just rip the CDs for later listening?
Scott’s not sure if the kidney stone has passed yet. When I asked him yesterday, he hadn’t felt it for at least a day, but he wasn’t sure if that meant it had passed or if it meant that it hadn’t moved recently and that he was just used to it being where it was. He’s scheduled to see a urologist tomorrow.
I tried on the four shirts Scott’s parents got me. The long sleeved, button front shirt gaps horribly. There’s no way on earth I’ll ever be able to wear it, not without breast reduction surgery. Two of the short sleeved shirts are wearable. I don’t like the color of either particularly, but it’s not a burning hatred. The third shirt is a color I like, but it’s very, very thin. Scott says it’s not see through, but I can’t imagine ever being comfortable wearing it in public, not even just opening the door to bring in the mail.
