Let me just say, my parents are better than yours. Period. No contest. I know a lot of people say this, but mine really are. They support me in whatever I do, love me unconditionally, and help me however they can: emotionally, physically, spiritually, financially, etc., etc., etc.
Yesterday they overnighted me a care package. The care package (CPkg) consisted mainly of items that I either did not have room to pack (my hair dryer), or items I did not know I would need (sheets for the bed). There were also some fun items like Christmas lights (I always have a string up in my room), and necessary items like my bathrobe and the bigA AmericanEurocopter umbrella. I had purchased a dinky one from Target, but it was...dinky. And stupid. And pointless...but, I digress. The CPkg arrived today, right on schedule, at 12p. It cost about a million dollars to overnight, but that's what my parents did, because they do whatever it takes. Because they are the best. Ever.
I ventured out to The Container Store after receiving the CPkg, because I realized I needed hooks. Hooks for my cardigans, and hooks for my robe and towels. I also needed a new shower caddy - the one from Target was A WASTE OF MONEY. Kind of like the straightener...Anyways...It was really awesome to get off the escalator from the metro and find that The Container Store is literally next door. As soon as I walked in, I was at home. In case you didn't know this about me, if I ever won the lottery...I would buy a Container Store. I'm not sure if I would keep it running, or just leave it stocked the way it came, but I would walk around in my Container Store and be happy. Always.
I grabbed a cart, and was on my way. While I was walking around, B called, and we talked for the majority of the time I was there. They are currently having an office sale, so I picked up a few trinkets for work (sharing a small desk is difficult), found my hooks, a shower "caddy", and a few other things, and went to check out. The lady at the cash register was very nice, and was surprised at the fact that I was only wearing jeans and a sweatshirt with how cold it was outside. I explained to her how my "heater" works (those of you that know about my "heater" will understand, those who don't get it, well, sorry, but it's a need-to-know thing, and you don't need to know) and she got really tickled. I like knowing that I will talked about over drinks later -it's a thing.
Across the street was a Starbucks, so I went inside and ordered a Caramel Macchiato. I also purchased one of their plastic temporary cups for $1 and now I get $0.10 off every drink I order when I have them make it in my cup. It's very convenient because we have hot chocolate and vanilla "cappuccinos" in the dining hall, and this also means I have a cup for coffee at work.
I got back to TMH and tried to work on some more homework only to realize that the book I needed for the upcoming weeks WAS NOT IN MY POSSESSION! At first I figured I had forgotten it when I packed and just left it in Rockwall, but when I checked my Amazon account it turned out the seller hadn't even sent it to me! So I emailed the seller, told them to forget it, and emailed Dr. Reid to let her know.
I gave up, turned on Netflix, and eventually passed out.
*Until Next Time!*
