Yet again, I find myself sitting outside on the porch. Yet again, it's freezing cold, despite the fact that it's supposed to be somewhat warm in April. And yet again, I have absolutely no idea why I come out here every morning. For all intents and purposes, I should be asleep, or at the very least laying down, but instead, I'm sitting out in the freezing cold, bats swarming overhead, to write a blog entry. Why? I don't know. Lack of drive to do much else, I suppose. Sheer insanity, maybe. Whatever the case, here I am... and there they are. The bats, I mean.
Well, I moved my dentist appointment back to Saturday. After a little more research, I decided that I didn't really trust the clinic that I had chosen... It was a little too obscure and I couldn't find any testimony from patients to cancel out my concern. The clinic I decided on for my new appointment has a lot more credibility, I think, and I feel much better about it. Nobody wants to visit a dental clinic they can't trust, after all. Nobody wants to visit a dental clinic, period...
I did a lot of yard work today. Spent hours pulling weeds and preparing the yard for another layer of grass seed. The first one didn't work out so well, mainly because the faulty sprinklers flooded them. But Mom bought a new set of sprinklers that should work better. I hope. Because I honestly don't want to spend another afternoon slaving over a lawn. On the bright side, the yard looks a lot better. So even if the grass refuses to grow, I don't have to worry about the yard looking like a mess. Plus, I put in a few new solar lamps along the walkway, which makes me happy. No more leaving the porch light on when I go out in the evening.
Tomorrow means more cleaning. I have to go through the dresser and decide what stays and what goes so we can finally put away the rest of the clothes packed away in bags and boxes that should have been put away... months ago. Then I have to make sure the rest of my homework is done so I can stay in Mexico for a weekend without having to worry about turning in assignments. I also have a hair appointment at Radiant on Friday, which means I'll be in Havasu all day, so I won't be able to work on assignments then, either. After that, it's smooth sailing and I'll be at Samantha's from Tuesday-ish until the 29th (whatever day that day falls on). That'll be awesome.
I can't wait to spend some time with my girl. We're gonna stay up late, swappin' manly stories, and in the morning, she's makin' waffles. We're gonna go see a movie or two, go out for evening coffee, talk about boys, hammer out plans for the future, take endless amounts of pictures and videos of us doing stupid stuff... Yeah, it's gonna be great. We used to do that kinda stuff all the time, but since she moved, we never have time. Spending a week and a half with her doing all the stuff we used to do is gonna be therapeutic for the both of us.
Oh. Right. My financial aid counselor finally called me back. In the afternoon this time, so I was actually awake to get the call. As it turns out, our three-week long game of phone tag was all so that she could tell me my application for financial aid went by without a hitch. I was relieved to hear that, but... seriously? She couldn't tell me that in a voicemail? I get that these calls are confidential and that there are some things she can't leave in a voicemail, but... isn't a call to say that everything's okay acceptable to leave as a message? She had me worried sick for weeks! I thought something went wrong during the application process! And given my experience with application processes these days... yeah. Well, in any case, I'm just glad that everything's on track. She said I can expect my check around the end of next month, which is perfect.
Alright... finally winding down. Time for bed.
