Get Back Jojo

I am back in town, safe and sound.

My drives down and back were sunny and uneventful, just like I like them. Both went pretty quick 7 and half hours instead of 8 or more, but I guess doing mostly 80 for that time helps too. I saw a lot less cops today than I did on Wednesday. I suppose tomorrow will be their big "Interstate Party" day.

The visit with parental units was good. Dad looks thin to me, but he's much stronger, I can tell just from his hugs. Mom was mom- offering to make me food, coffee, etc all for the chance at showing me motherly love. No wonder I have food issues, eh? hehe. It's nice though, to have someone make it for me for a change.

I took all my laundry home. No, literally. I mean all my laundry. Since I don't have a washer/dryer, and haven't been to the commercial one in awhile, I've had a lot built up - well, except for those items I tub-washed weeks ago. I knew it was too much when dad's eyes kinda popped out of his head and he wondered how I got it all in my Jetta. Honestly though, it was only 2 big baskets. Ok, 2 and a small. Alright, so one wasn't really a basket persay, but a laundry hamper more like. I did somewhere between 8 and 10 loads.

But now it's ALL CLEAN!

I did actually get bored. There's only so much to do when it's a tad too chilly for the beach, and I'm not into football watching like Mom and Dad. So I went to the bookstore, and to Wal-Mart. At the latter I picked up some yarn and needles and started a nice blue muffler for Mr. Broadband. Hopefully it'll be done in time to give him as a Hanukkah present.

I didn't do a whole lot while I was there- except eat. Not just Turkey day traditionals, but homemade omg-to-die-for-Andes-mint-chip-cookies, and frozen Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Minis. I mean seriously, this is why I don't keep these things in my own home. I have ZERO will power and control. Not to mention the pumpkin pie, although I did better with that than the cookies. I only ate a total of 3 slices from the 2 pies. I had wayyyy too much stuffing though, and the gravy soaking it didn't help.

So what's the first thing I do when I get into town? Unload my car? Newp- I drive straight to the Y and walk 1.19 miles in 30 minutes. I think it was more out of excess caffeine from the 2 Full Throttle beverages I drank on the drive than any real sense of guilt. I actually wanted to go to the local Y while I was in FL, but there wasn't one close by.

So I'm home, and my laundry is folded in large containers, taunting me to put them away rather than leave them in the living room- which of course would be the sensible place to put on and remove clothing.

I'll see Mr. Broadband tonight, and tomorrow we're attending UUCA together.

I feel.... oddly productive.

Must be the caffeine.
