travels from florida
so yesterday's flight was luckily uneventful. the plane even left the airport on time which was a definate plus because i thought it would be delayed due to weather, an afternoon thunderstorm is nearly always brewing here or in florida. i had expected it to be very hot down in fort lauderdale and it was but it was actually cooler there then it is here. low 90's verus today it was supposed to be 101 and feel like 112. it was in the newspaper and on the radio that one is supposed to avoid being outside in this heat. even the constructuon men building houses in my neighborhood had to stop. i guess they've had the past few days off because i haven't heard anybanging from over there.
florida was really weird. it put me in such a morbid mood. we went to visit my g.g. who is 98 and very old. she just moved into an assisted living facility and is having a tough time adjusting. everyone there is just waiting to die it is one of the most depressing places. almost like the blood cancer ward at the hospital. though those kids haven't just given up and are waiting to die like these people that ward is always a sad place to visit. anyway so the home is just very old people who are all just waiting to die. it made me really depressed the whole time. there was a lady having her birthday party while we were there. she was turning 101. i don't think i want to make it to 101. i don't think i will... not many people do but maybe by the time i'm that old there will be all sorts of treatments to make you live longer. so that was that. we saw my aunt and uncle from california while we were there too... they met us. also my great-aunt and great-uncle who live in fort laudderdale. we did dinner with them on saturday and sunday. saturday we went to this great fish place and i had scallops (i love scallops!!!) and then on sunday we went to the outback which is always pretty good (steak and mashed potatoes lol).
now i'm hanging out at mom's work chilling and working for service learning hours and pizza. i organized and dated all these cd's... there was like 10 boxes of them. that was very tedious but i got a yummy chanello's pizza for lunch and 3 service hours to go on my highschool transcript. i don't know how some of the interns in my mom's office do it. it must be horrible just organizizng and filing and labeling all day 5 days a week for 3 months. i think i would die.
later have an orthodontist appointment. i didn't wear my headgear and so she is going to wire my jaw shut (probably) and it will suck. i don't even want to know. like the mother in finding neverland... i'll take their drugs and put on the anesthesia mask but i don't think i want to know what metal objects they're wiring inside my mouth. i hope it won't set the metal detectors off at the airport. that would be horrible. but i guess the brackets didn't last weekend so maybe the wire won't either. my poor mouth. my poor poor mouth. but at least she doesn't have to worry about me sneaking popcorn anymore. that is on the no-no high fiber list. i have been banned by dr. kim to ever touch it again. in modeation.
hmm... there was supposed to be a thank-you party today sometime at my mom's work with cake and ice cream but it is 3:14 and i see nothing. oh well maybe tomorrow. i'm sure i'll be back. unless mom manages to take tomorrow off and then i'm supposed to go school shopping in cary. oggi girl is having a sale and delia's too. we were supposed to go on thursday but the kid she was working with didn't show today and he wants to come on thursday when his cousins leave which is fine. going in search of the goodies...
