Day 195

Well...I was woken up, as per usual, a couple of different times today. I gave in to the fact that I wasn't going back to sleep, around 8-8:30. UGH. I still wasn't getting out of bed though. I laid here for a minute or two...then decided I'd start getting ready so no one could blame anything on me, if we were late for lunch. I had a great time getting ready. I heard my cousin's downstairs still, and walking around when I was in the shower...Then I was in my room listening to music and having fun doing my makeup. When I made my way downstairs, shortly after...they were all gone. Odd. I know Tom heard me in the shower...yet him nor Heloise said anything about them going out. Nice. Whatever...

I got some breakfast, sat down, and enjoyed some "Glee". I was in a great mood.
Nathaniel, Zach and Tim got home. Nathaniel got me upset right away as he leaned on the doorbell as he normally does, after it had already been rung once. I talked to him about that, and went back to the couch to watch my show. He came in a little while later, and I asked him for a hug. He told me he was a little muddy, but he gave me one anyway. Then Zach wandered in. He came and sat on my lap, upset that Nathaniel would be going to a friend's later, and he wanted to as well. Tim called him after a while, and the 2 of them went to mow the lawn. On the ride on mower.

Not knowing what was going on about lunch, as we were supposed to have plans, I was getting a little frustrated. Everyone else began pouring in, and the chaos started. Here's how my brain works. Calm morning, music, tv, makeup = HAPPY. Loud noises, chaos, disorganization = STRESS! Ugh. I stopped trying to make plans for everyone, sat on the couch, and focused on my computer. My Dad and Uncle walked up to the Pub to see if they'd take 11 people for lunch, and I guess they said yes, because soon after, 8 of us were walking up there, while the other 3 drove. We had a very good meal, and I stayed very quiet as the chaos escalated.

When we got back to the house, we said bye to my Nan and Tom, as they were heading back to Peterborough, and then my Dad and I said bye to everyone else, and went to Braintree. We got our tickets for "Alice and Wonderland", then we went shopping, stopped for a Starbucks *YIPPEE!!!!* Dad's seen him now :p (There was a comment about Starbucks when we got home later...I chose to ignore it, yet it's still spinning round my brain. Ugh!), and did some more shopping. My Dad bought me a really nice Bench hoodie! It could quite possibly be my new favourite. When we finished our shopping, we went back to the theatre. The movie was good, I know I've seen it before, but I still enjoyed it. I nodded off 3 or 4 times, which upset me...but just shows you how tired I am.

When we got back, the two of us came in to talk to Heloise and Tim, and to see if my Aunt and Uncle were still here. They weren't. My Dad and I went for a walk to the pub, as we thought we'd have a drink together. We must have been sitting there at least 10 minutes, had been looked at by the servers, yet had not been served. We got up and left. We walked up the High Street looking for other pubs, but had no luck, and didn't want to walk as far as the bridge. We turned around, and had a cup of green tea at home with some dark chocolate instead.

We spoke to Heloise and Tim, then came up to do some packing, and then I wrote lastnight's blog, had a shower, and am falling asleep writing this one, as I cough, and have a sore throat. My eyes are hurting too...Oh Dear. I'm gonna go. Sad day tomorrow. Good Night xx
