...and boy, are my arms tired.
Mar. 28th, 2001 06:48 pmToday has been a slack day because "we're sick" (really just the Girl, and it sucks to be her because it's her 3rd birthday today; A and I are just both demolishedly exhausted). S just left for New Orleans. A and I each took naps all day today and blew off our plans. The Girl likes her birthday present from me, which is Blossom Powerpuff in a spacesuit who talks when you hold her hand (I also got her a giant umbrella that looks like Blossom's head, but I gave it to her at her party Sunday). Tonight I think we are going to watch anime (serial experiments: lain or Jubei) while I do laundry. But I'm sleepy again, so who knows.
Yesterday was hectic. We got up and got ready to go out and then dithered on whether or not to bring the Girl with us. Decided to at the last minute (after missing our bus so she could get her shoes on), then she showed signs of being sick at the bus stop. A called M and dithered some more, trying to decide whether or not to have him pick up the Girl, then decided to run her home as the bus pulled up and catch the next one and meet me in Rockfeller Center at Kinokuniya (the goal for that day, along with H&M), telling me that if worst came to worst the bus back would pick me up on 5th Ave where it let me off.
I got my lunch at Dean&Deluca as pre-arranged and went next door to Kino, where there were many things to be found, many reasons to learn Japanese. I stayed there til they closed waiting for Autumn, who never showed, then walked to H&M where I only had 30min and didn't try anything on, because I was wearing like three shirts, a coat, and carrying a big Kinokuniya bag. I bought a cute shirt, beige with neutral dots all over it. Then H&M closed and I walked up and down 5th Ave looking for a bus, like 7 blocks, freezing my ass off (I had worn a skirt... silly me). FINALLY I got on a bus and asked the driver where the northbound stops were... he directed me to Madison Ave and I wandered all those blocks back and had to wait for 1/2hr because I had just missed the bus.
When I got home I wasn't really mad, though... A was contrite, thought I had the number with me, etc etc. M had made her stay home when she came home with the Girl. He went out and bought me food, & I survived, so why cry over spilled milk? I have been super achy and tired (more like I often am at home) today though, and took a nap earlier. I went to bed pretty early last night.
I need to call Ragdoll soon but at the moment I feel too tired and might go take another nap. I'll see her Saturday so I don't feel that pressured to solidify plans too much before then. I am hopefully going to be able to extend my trip at least partway into next week, rather than leaving Sunday morning like I'm supposed to... but that involves dealing with the airline and travel agents and mom and blah blah blah and I haven't had the desire or opportunity to deal with any of it.
Oh, at Kinokuniya, I bought some "sundries" (cool stickers, notebook, paper, blah blah), a book of short stories dealing with women, issues of KERA and Shoxx, a design book I might return because I'm not impressed and it was spendy, and a cd, Luna Sea's Period., which is a sort of "best of"... Luna Sea is really good, anyone who likes The Cure or older U2 stuff will probably like them. I was also given a poster. I bought my mom some stickers and the other night I bought her a cool backpack, so I think that's covered... I still need to do the postcard thing.
Gah, I'm so tired and there's so little time left... I DEFINITELY need to change that ticket. My mom keeps writing me mail saying "New York will be there, you can always go back, pace yourself, etc". The initial plan was to go to the Met/Cloisters tomorrow and to some shopping Friday, but that might get swapped around, I dunno, or if we feel as crummy tomorrow... bleh.
Well, that's what I've been up to. :) I'm still having a good time, but I need to be more careful about pacing myself.
