Am I Really That Short?

Today was pretty good I think. My mom woke me at 5:30 to ask where the canned cat food was. I told her and went back to sleep as I saw no reason to get on up an hour early. When I got up at my normal time I went about my business, getting my stuff together and getting me some breakfast so I wouldn't be dying of starvation come lunch time. We headed to work early as my mom didn't feel like waiting the extra time plus it gave us some time to get gas in the van before work.

As usual I didn't do much aside from play on my computer and play my Pokemon game. For lunch I had the leftovers of the rice from Bonzai Garden that I ate for supper last night. Surprisingly, reheating it in the microwave was just about as good as heating it over the stove-top. I didn't start my vacuuming till nearly 5 as people were still in the office pretty late; I didn't even get time to finish before we had to leave long enough to go to the bank so my mom could deposit a check. My mom took little note of it at first, but the bank actually put out one of those suckers they have for little kids when mom got whatever it was from the transaction. I of course took the sucker from my mom and just looked at it for a moment.

This wasn't the first time I had been mistaken for being a child because of my size and my mom found it quite hilarious. Of course, I'm pretty good natured about it as it happens all the time so I just learn to laugh. I almost always pretend to be insulted, in such a way everyone knows I'm not truly insulted, but I always laugh about it. Especially later. I guess being 4' 11' and 21 years of age will throw lots of people off. I just can't wait till I'm driving alone and a cop pulls me over cause I look under-aged. That'll be great fun cause I'll have my driver's license with me as proof I'm legal. =D

We ended up going back to the office quickly then leaving again as I had forgotten my purse so I could authorize my mom depositing a check to me into her account. Before we did this though we went by my grandma's house to pick up a check from my dad to my mom. We were almost late to the bank before it closes because my grandma would not shut up even though we told her we needed to go so we could get to the bank. She just doesn't understand unless it benefits her. Sounds like someone else I know, and it isn't my mom. *cough*Lindsay*cough* Turns out, when we got to the other bank, I didn't even need my driver's license seeing as we had done this several times already. Ah well.

We had already decided we would not go to group since we would have Sarah over. Unfortunately, plans changed and she wasn't going to come over. I had a feeling that would happen if I got excited. I almost never get excited cause most of the time when I do it never happens but I let it happen again and I was disappointed. I had actually learned about this at lunch so I was pretty upset for a majority of the day till the incident with the sucker at the bank. Thing like that just can't leave you gloomy. And the sucker was pretty good too. Lime flavoured.

After that we headed to the Dollar Tree to pick up some canned cat food for one of our cats, Hallow, as he had not been doing well recently and we were using it to help gain him some weight and it has been working really well. While we were there I looked around for a laundry basket for myself. I found one I felt would work but my mom didn't want to get it because she didn't want to get me something if it was a "just for now" thing. Seriously, the thing was only 1 dollar so I don't understand what the deal was. I really need a basket of some sort as I am tired of piling my clothes on my closet floor then trying to carry the entire load in my arms to the washer every Wednesday when I do my laundry. She did say she would buy me a better one at Family Dollar sometime later although at Family Dollar everything is just cheaper, not 1 dollar like at Dollar Tree. At Dollar Tree I had also spotted a paddle ball toy that featured the Naurto characters Naruto and Gaara. I thought of Leighanna immediately because it was Naruto, plus, it had her favorite character Gaara. Unfortunately I was not intelligent at the time to think to buy it for her. If it is still there the next time my mom and I go there, I am going to buy it for her.

We finally headed on home after that. We didn't find birdseed at the Dollar Tree so my mom decided she would likely get that on Monday. I was about starving when I got home so after I got all my stuff set back up how it needed to be I went to fix me a mini pizza. I ate that with ranch dressing and a Mountain Dew. At first I didn't think I would finish it as I had been drinking the little half cans of Mountain Dew and my mom just recently decided to buy me the full size cans as they were a better deal. Oddly enough, after my sis and I sat down to play Tales of Symphonia, I did end up finishing it off. I was glad as it would have ended up flat by the time I would have wanted it again as I am not a heavy soda drinker and just 3 cans can likely last me a few weeks, so an entire box will take me a month, maybe a month and a half to get through.

On the game Leighanna and I went through Mithos's castle to get the Present, Past and Sacred Stones so we could do the Neiflheim quest. We got in there with the sole intention of doing training only and we planned to escape the dungeon on the first large, green, exit candlestick that we found. Unfortunately we did not find one and ended up dying when I mistakenly chose the option "Select a character and fight" and was unable to choose Presea as I had chosen her the last time that option came up. I chose Lloyd as Leighana and I can both play him. Unfortunately the level also chose to make us fight all monsters and I was quickly killed off by the demons and forced to load from our last save which was right before we entered as there are no save points within the nasty long dungeon. This was rather frustrating mainly because we had gained a couple of levels within the dungeon so all our progress had been erased in that regard. We were too tired to continue and decided it was best never to go into that dungeon for any reason too late at night. Being already fairly late, we decided to give up on the game for the night and turn it off. We will likely try again tomorrow when neither of us are tired.

I was fine with leaving the game, I was wanting to go do my own thing anyway about halfway through our play tonight. I started playing on some of the sites I like then I decided to get out my zen garden I bought and set it up. I took about 10 minutes to play with it before I got it where I think I like it. I don't know if I will change it again anytime soon but at least if I get bored of it's current design I can easily change it any way I choose. I really like the little thing, it's pretty cool and I had always kinda wanted one. Of course, I'm just fascinated with almost anything oriental.

Well I think that just about sums up my day. Pretty good day I think. I'm just happy I didn't have to go to group as I seriously didn't feel like going today and neither did my mom. Anywho, I think I'm going to wrap things up here, play a little more on my comp, then shove off and play my Pokemon Ruby awhile before I go on to bed. Cya!

PS. In case you guys are wondering, I tried to fall asleep to a movie the night before last. Yes I actually tried! But by the time I got the movie in, I felt pretty awake and even after settling down and watching Pokemon Jirachi: Wish Maker, no matter how tired I kinda felt, I just was unable to fall asleep till after it ended and I put the movie away. I officially fail.
