I was so productive today...after I got out of bed at 10:30. Don't judge me. My sleeping is way off right now. And I had strange dreams that involved a fastpitch softball tournament in Tonga, being lost on an island for 5 weeks, and the emergence of my parents ON the island as they screamed about how financially irresponsible I was. Suddenly, as they were yelling, I was 12 again in my old bedroom with the blue and yellow wallpaper. Weird.
Anyway, I woke up with a monsoon headache, drank some juice, and drove to down with what LOOKED like sex hair (I was way too tired to fix it,) a splotchy red face, and a list of errands to run. I found out yesterday that all volunteers had to get the H1N1 vaccine before we leave for LA, so I called the Health Dpt. who won't get the vaccines until October. Then I called the Primary Care Clinic, who thank goodness has them. So I waited in the office, got my vaccine, had to get an updated copy of my immunization record, dropped off a movie for my brother, deposited a check, got my glasses tightened, and ran into the IGA to pick up some 'essentials' for my adventure that now starts in 20 days. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant, toothpaste, razors, tampons, pads, lalala.
So I check out at the counter and the lady says, "Looks like you're goin on a trip!" and I said, "Well, yeah, actually I am." She looked happy that she guessed it right. After I paid (and could've kicked myself for not going to the Dollar Store, which could've saved me 5 or 10 bucks,) the lady said "Have a good trip", but I thought she was gonna say "Have a good day" so I automatically said, "You too!"
Then we both stopped and I said, "Well, I mean, have a good day."
She says, "Oh well it don't matter, honey, I'm always on a trip!"
It was definitely funny. A bit strange.
Even stranger, when I walked INto the grocery store, one of the cashiers walked outside for a smoke. I don't know who she is--probably a woman of mid-50s or older-- and her eyes got real wide and said, "Wull HEY! How're YOuuuuuu?" I said, "Um, I'm good! How are you?" Then she got a real crazy look in her eye--they got so big where I couldn't see her lids--and she said, "Wull, I'll be doin MUCH better after I have a SMOKE!" cackle cackle cackle.
I think I need to get outta here, guys.
