It's All Fun and Games Til
someone's digestive system stops working. :p
The first half of today was really great. I'm still the tiniest bit congested, but that's nothing. I didn't run, but I did stretch. It counts, heh.
Had breakfast (almond butter and jelly on wheat; cottage cheese with mandarin oranges), did a tiny bit of laundry, showered, all that stuff. Also started tidying up my room so I can do a bit of cleaning on Saturday. Had lunch (salad, mostly just lettuce and tomato with some lowfat dressing) then just stayed online for awhile, reading message boards.
Around 1 I decided to head to Allie's Tack Shop and then go to Wakefield from there. So I went, looked around (nice flat saddle in the consignment section, but even if I could afford it/needed one, it was a size too small), and left soon after. I decided to stop home again cuz I wanted to get some Friends, just in case I needed them later (Fisherman's Friends, that is! most hardcore lozenges ever, hehe).
I walked in the front door.
Mom: "Did you forget something?"
Me: "Yeah, but I just went to Allie's anyway, I didn't head out yet."
Mom: "Allie's?! Why'd you go there if you're going to another donut shop later?"
Me: ::slightly dumbfounded:: "No! I went to the tack shop. And Starbucks is NOT a donut shop!"
Starbucks donuts would be completely awesome though.
So I finally drove to Wakefield, which wasn't too eventful in itself. It*was* annoying having cops EVERYWHERE though-- even on some of the back roads near my house. Was it due to the heightened "terrorist alert?" Probably, cuz it wasn't otherwise a special day; even the weather wasn't that nice. :p
(Although I must question how having cops driving around would stop a terrorist. I'm sorry, but if someone's willing to kill themselves along with whatever number of innocent people, a cop's presence is NOT going to make them say "Okay, guess I won't!")
Anyway, Starbucks! A major thank you to Travis for spending about 14 hours there with me today, haha. It was definitely a good time. ;)
For you poor souls who weren't there, I'm not going to detail everything that we talked about but to sum part of it up, humanity is doomed and Wal*Mart needs to be destroyed. There just aren't enough ninjas in the world to save us all! ;D
(What *was* the line you said about that? I can't remember what it was, but it was wicked funny, hehe)
Consumed: 1 tall nonfat vanilla latte. They didn't have any espresso brownies and definitely no cheesecake. Sigh, hehe.
The Starbucks itself is very. . .round. I have never been in any Starbucks that was even remotely set up the same way. The door is in front of the counter where you order your drinks, but the seating area is behind all that, literally on the other side of the circle. It's very strange. The only problem that *I* could see is that there aren't many seats at all, not compared to a more usual layout. I'm just assuming that once URI's back in session, a lot of kids are probably gonna head there, but I could be wrong. I thought tourists might be a problem today, but it didn't even get remotely full the whole time we were there. ::shrug::
I had to leave at 4:30ish so I could be home around 5. My Mom and I were planning to have dinner at 7 Moons and for once she didn't change plans at last minute. Amazing.
The downfall of the entire day was this: caffeine and my nonexistant bladder don't mix (not like you all didn't know that already :p), so I stopped at the DD that's on my way home to use the bathroom. The girl was about to clean it, but she was nice and let me use it first, haha. I felt bad for being a pain, so I decided to buy a little something to make up for it. Enter the double chocolate donut.
I decided not to actually *have* the donut since I would be having Chinese food soon, and so I continued my drive home. Once I actually got home though, my Mom said she didn't want to leave until 6 because she wasn't overly hungry yet. No problem, I guess.
But *I* was pretty hungry at this point, so I decided to have a snack since my dinner at 7 Moons wouldn't be as huge as usual (no crab rangoons or fried rice! O_O haha). I made a veggie burger and yes, had half of the donut too.
And then my digestion decided to quit. I think the donut killed it because I had been completely fine until that point. Bad reflux and pain, pain, pain. This was all *before* the Chinese food, too. :/
I didn't say anything, and unfortunately there isn't anything I can *do* for it. So even though I was in pain and not hungry at all, we went. We both ordered pad thai noodles (chicken for her, shrimp for me) but I didn't even have half. It's been three and a half hours now and I'm still getting pad thai reflux. I just hope it'll be gone before I go to bed.
So yeah, *most* of today was good, but the past few hours have sucked immensely. :p
Tomorrow I'm working 1-9, but Saturday is still free. I need to go to Whole Foods though and like I mentioned, I want to start cleaning my room, deciding what to get rid of once and for all, etc. I'm not going to try making plans with anyone, but if anything comes up, I'm around. Rich also comes home that night, around midnight I think. Not sure if I'm gonna go meet him at the airport or not. His brother's going to pick them up, so I don't technically have to, but it might be nice of me, haha.
Time to finish my TR book and lay around in agony. x_x
Talk to y'all later!

The line was "Walmart, it's worse than Ninja's" haha. For everyone else who has no idea why, that's because the choose your own adventure books I read as a kid all ended with me being killed by ninja's and your story ended with working at Walmart forever! But I thought working at Walmart forever was worse then being killed by Ninja's haha.
No problem sitting at Starbucks for 14 hours haha, I've been known to spend 5+ hours at Brewed Awakenings or Starbucks with some of my other friends! So anytime :)
And Sorry to hear you didn't feel well later in the day. Hope you feel better tommorow.
-Travis
