Today really was probably the best day I've had in quite awhile. I woke at about 6:30 and I would have waited for my mom to come "wake" me, but I got so wide awake while I waited for 6:40 I couldn't stand to lie in my bed another second so I got up and started getting ready. My mom was shocked to see me up already when she came to wake me. I really should have stayed in bed till 40 though because I was ready to go pretty quickly and I was bored out of my mind. I just can't dawdle nor can I idle. I just seem to get things together as quickly as possible then I'm left idling because I got ready to quickly. For breakfast I ate some chocolate fudge poptarts.
Everything was pretty typical when we got to the office. I mostly played on the computer but I grew bored very quickly as I found myself unable to find things to hold my interest for long. At lunch we planned to go help Judy with her computer then we were going to go by the bank to close my savings account and open up a checking account in it's place so that I have a little more freedom with it. Of course I'm still going to be as careful with my money as always but at least I don't have limits in the case I need it.
During the time that I was waiting for lunch I stalked around a bit on eBay and had pretty much decided I definitely wanted Pokemon Soul Silver after having stalked it for a few weeks now. I actually thought I had about 155 dollars in my account in which I could buy it with. I was lucky as when I had asked mom about the legitimacy of the game I was looking at being sold as pre-order before it was officially released and after she telling me it was legit if I bought from a top-rated seller, this prompted me to want to check my funds. My mom gave me the number to the bank and I called them myself. Nerve-wracking as it was my first time to do so. I was confused when I was told I only had 114 in my account. After my mom was off the phone with someone, I told her this and she told me to call again and ask for a transactions report. I did so, this time it was easier. I went back a few months and I recognized everything they reported. I thanked them and hung up. I wasn't happy that I had less than I did, but I was glad that there were not mysterious transactions, especially after that weird e-mail I got the other day, regardless of my mom denouncing its authenticity. I was also disappointed as this meant I could not buy Soul Silver yet but it made me glad I had not tried to buy it sooner as I would have gone under 100 dollars.
I checked up on Deviant Art and noticed some new deviations from an artist I have been watching. One of his pictures referenced a song called "Our Solem Hour" by Within Temptation. I didn't know this song but curious, I looked it up on You Tube. I decided I liked the song very much but was a it weirded out when I noticed that the lead singer looks a bit like Melinda Gordon from Ghost Whisperer at many angles. I'm sure it's just me but I find it kinda scary. I also looked up other songs by Within Temptation but none I liked as much as "Our Solem Hour".
Also before lunch my mom showed me about how to balance a check book. At first I thought it looked highly complicated but after having it explained it actually looks quite easy. I almost think my mom might have enjoyed teaching that to me. After that I returned to my computer until about 20 min til lunch when my mom asked if I wanted to eat. Apparently she wanted to eat early so we'd have time to do everything else during lunch. Good thing as we went 15min over due to the bank.
It didn't take long to try to help Judy. Unfortunately we were unable to locate what she was looking for on her drive. As we were leaving her house I noticed a plant next to the door. I almost always notice the plants. I had asked what it was and she didn't know I don't think but she told me that I could have a couple of the leaves as the plant spawns from the tips of it's leaves, which is pretty odd, but not surprising to me. I have a plant that spawns similarly but it does so from the base of it's leaves and only when they have been broken off from the plant. I thanked her for the leaves and it made me very happy as I am always excited to get a new plant. My mom even told Judy how much she made my day by doing so.
We arrived at the bank to do my account stuff so I left the leaves in a shady place in the car while we did that. That was a mistake I believe, not that I had much choice, because the heat for even just one hour seemed to have damaged the existing, small roots it had. It seemed at first that it was only a few but the rest died throughout the rest of the day. Although the small, new plants sprouting off the tip still seems green so I currently have them with some rooting hormone to see if it will stimulate new roots.
Now while we were at the bank I felt a bit nervous. I'm not entirely sure why. The lady helping us was very nice to me. I was shocked when she actually asked my age instead of assuming when my mom told her I wanted to open a checking account. It was pretty funny really. When my mom said that she asked about my age and when my mom replied with "21" she smiled and said "Yes she can." I really liked her, she made me feel a little less uncomfortable although I felt a bit silly about my questions I kept asking but she reassured me several times I was not bothering her. I hope it was true. My mom kept joking saying I was "signing my life away". This actually made me uncomfortable as I did not know why she was saying that. Apparently it was only a joke in refference to the number of times I had to sign my name and such. She seemed to feel bad when she noticed it was unnerving me.
I was a bit glad to get back to the office and relax a bit after that but I was still pretty hyper for some reason. I think I felt rather empowered by having called the bank earlier. It made me feel very smart. I don't know if we actually did this before or after lunch but my mom and I also looked up the locations of GameStop in town so we would know where we needed to go so I could get the event Jirachi that ends tomorrow. Anticipating this made my day inch by slowly and very little held my interest. My boyfriend, Tyler, called me sometime after lunch. He was feeling depressed and I asked him what was wrong and he only said it was cause he couldn't be with me yet. Really, he says this so often I really didn't think about it and I said something that I really thought was something he normally laughed at and I was only trying to cheer him up. Unfortunately this had the opposite effect somehow and he ended up hanging up on me. I really didn't intend to hurt his feelings. I can't even remember what I said now but I apologized several times but he still seemed really upset. He never called back after that until later when I had decided to start cleaning a little early as I was too down to really do anything or enjoy playing Spore as I had been doing while all that was happening.
I felt bad when I realized I missed his call so I texted him explaining that. He replied saying it was okay. He is so very quick to forgive. I guess that's good and I'm the same way. It sucked that my cleaning job ended so quickly as the last hour dragged pretty badly with nothing to do and especially so on the last 30 min before we could go. 10 min went by fairly well when a woman named Cynthia(sp?) was in the office on errand. She was nice and chatted a short while before going on with her other errands. The last 20 min were pure torture, likely cause I was eager to get my Pokemon.
I was glad when it finally became time for us to go though we had to go by my Grandma's house first to pick up money from my dad. My mom was not feeling well and have been suffering a massive headache most of the day and didn't feel like going in and my dad was too tired to come outside so I had to go in to get it myself. I felt bad for my mom with me sticking around so long but I didn't want to look like I was coming in to get money then leave and I definitely want them to know I love them and whatnot. So I chatted for awhile though I hated taking so long for my mom's sake so I mentioned nicely a few times that I should go since mom didn't feel well and I finally managed to leave so that my mom and I could go get my Pokemon event, get groceries, and get home as soon as possible so she could relax.
I was so so grateful to my mom for taking me to get the Jirachi Pokemon from the event. Even in the happen so that I didn't get one, I still was happy that she was willing to take me. We headed off, looking for the first one but we realized the location we had written down was likely the GameStop in the mall and we had already passed it when we realized it so we decided to go to the other one as it was nearby. We went in and I took my DS. At this point I was nearly bursting with excitement as this is the first event Pokemon I was at least attempting to get that I had to leave the house in order to receive it. I waited while the guy at the counter waited on another customer then when he was available I asked about how to get the Jirachi. He explained to me that location was not handing them out anymore and that I should try the location in the mall as they still were and they guy there could help me. He asked if I wanted to pre-order Soul Silver or Heart Gold but I told him know and thanked him for the information then my mom and I left for the other GameStop. Honestly, I thought the outlet in the mall would be the less likely of the two to provide the download.
It really didn't take us too long to locate the GameStop outlet. My mom needed to go do something else right then so she asked if she could do that while I got the Pokemon. I let her know I had no problem with that and entered the store. I asked the guy behind the counter if the event was still going on. This time I asked that because I was afraid they might have stopped the event a day early. The guy seemed less than happy to deal with me and made it clear he had no idea anything about it really.
Before I could mention that the event shouldn't have ended yet, a black-haired lady behind him told me the event was still active and my hopes instantly rose. She told me all I needed to do was go to my main screen on my game. When I got there I asked if I go to Mystery Gift, she said yes and I was given three options. I knew it was not the option on the top as it was "receive from friend" so it left me with "receive from wireless" and "receive from Nintendo WFC". I figured it couldn't be the last since I got the Pikachu colored Pichu that way and I was unable to get Jirachi doing that though you can never know for certain. She told me to select "receive from wireless". I did so and waited while it searched for the download. I was so happy when it asked me if I wanted to download Jirachi. I really half expected for something to go wrong and leave me unable to get it. The lady also told me to obtain the Jirachi, I would need to go in-game and talk to a man at the Pokemart. I knew this already but I thanked her all the same. She didn't ask if I wanted to buy anything and almost seemed happy seeing how excited I was though I'm sure it was for something else. I was just brimming with excitement and energy when I got the Jirachi I could barely contain myself.
As I left the store my mom was heading my direction. She seemed shocked I was done already though I knew the download would not take long, experience from the Pikachu colored Pichu. I think she could tell I was excited but she asked me if I got it all the same. She seemed happy for me when I told her I had and I thanked her for bringing me. She also asked to see the Pokemon, I don't blame her, I was excited over it so of course she'd want to see it. I showed her and she thought it was cute, commenting that it looked like a little joker. She's kinda right. She even asked me if I thought it was cute. I found this question odd but I told her yes cause I do think it's cute.
As we left the mall she told me she was glad I had so much energy as she was very tired and needed me to be alert for her. I'd have been happy to do this any day for her but I was especially willing to do so today especially since she had done something so very nice for me, it was the least I could do to do some things to help her out. Grocery shopping didn't seem to take too long to me. I helped my mom get the things on our list plus a few extras, such as snow peas when I noticed them on the shelf in the veggie isle. When I saw them I just stopped and pointed and looked at my mom like "OMG look!". I love snow peas, ever since my dad bought them one time they were in a salad bag. I've seen snap peas, but I have never seen snow peas available in the store before. I was so happy that my mom let me get them. I felt so showered with gifts today as I just kept getting such awesome things. Even if the plants I got are not savable my mom told me she could get more leaves from Judy another day if need be.
When we were ready to check out a little while later, I helped put things on the conveyor belt and we noticed one of the Snack Packs we bought was damaged so I took the damaged one and returned to the isle it was on and got another as my mom paid for the food. She was smart and told the lady we were buying three Snack Packs even though there were only two on the conveyor as I was going to be getting another. This saved time as we didn't have to scan it when I got there. As we approached our van we were afraid it might not have been ours as, I don't know if I mentioned it before but if I have here's a recap:
We were coming out of Walmart a separate day and we accidentally opened up another person's vehicle. It scared the crap out of us as it looked like ours from the outside and my sis had even climbed in but she soon noticed it didn't smell like out vehicle and as we opened a side door to see a baby seat my sis was jumping out saying it wasn't our vehicle. We quickly closed the doors and looked around for our own van. We couldn't believe the owners of the other van had been so careless to leave their vehicle unlocked. Luckily, we were all honest people and had only opened theirs by mistake when we thought it was ours. We were glad to find our own vehicle and drive off for home.
Okay so this didn't happen today but it made us think a little before opening it up. I checked the back and noticed the distinguishable crack and dentage on the back door and I also heard the doors unlock when my mom used the clicker. We were so happy to be heading home at this time and thus, glad we were not going to group as that meant we would have been out much later and my mom's headache was something horrible. As we started for home my mom complained of not feeling well and her vision being a little cloudy. This alerted me as she was driving and was asking me to be alert for her so she didn't run over pedestrians in the parking lot. I didn't like this at all and she actually drove a fair ways before I convinced her to let me drive despite my dislike for it. I wasn't going to let her go too far, it was getting dark and even with her normal vision she has terrible night-time vision, and she says so herself. So cloudy vision plus oncoming darkness, not a good combination. She turned into a little housed area and we switch seats and I drove the rest of the way home. My leg hurt horribly at first as I'm not accustomed to driving much but I ignored the pain and kept going. About halfway there my mom told me that I must love her a lot if I was willing to drive for her. She's damn right though.
We were both so happy to be home and even though I was more nervous about driving this time than usual, my mom said I did better at driving than ever before. Heh, perhaps I should be nervous driving from now on. Lol not. My legs felt like jello for a short while. My energy from my excitement had completely diminished now and I was long ready to eat. I had been ready to eat since 3 and it wasn't till 6:49 when we left for home from Walmart, so it was later than that when I ate. I just cooked a little mini pizza and ate that with ranch dressing and my stomach was happy. It helped that while it cooked, I ate the remainder of my sister's plum as she didn't want all of it. While I ate my pizza I watched Ghost Whisperer with my mom then after that I lounged on her bed with her while we watched Medium. As soon as those shows were over I knew I needed to go to bed soon. I told my mom goodnight and thanked her a few times more to show my immense gratitude for taking me to get my Pokemon.
She seemed so happy to know I was happy. I'll know from now on not to be afraid to ask her if I can do something in the future since the worst that can happen is I just get a no. But I'll be sure to ask for something that is not inconvenient to ask for. I'd never ask to go get a Pokemon event that takes place somewhere either all across town when we're not going in town, or in another city, etc. This one just so happened to be in our general area so it wasn't too much trouble to go to.
Wow.. I have gone through this so many times to add in details I kept forgetting to record. I swear if there is anything else I'm missing after this, I think we can all live without it as I think I got all the important stuff plus a lot of crap no one will likely care about. Probably not even me within a couple of days but hey! I've got it anyway. lol
Anywho, I think it's time for me to crash out. Night all!
