Day 211

Up a number of the times in the night due to a combination of things. Excitement, and pain. I kept looking at the clock just hoping it would be time to get ready to leave, but what seemed like hours, was only minutes passing by.

Eventually, 5:15 came. It was 15 minutes earlier than I had the alarm set for, but there was no way I was trying to go back to sleep again. It killed to lift my head from the pillow. I got out of bed, and went to get changed. I laughed at the pain I was in as I tried to switch tops and bottoms. You'd have to be crazy to do this to yourself, I thought. Then I thought again...well I must be insane, cuz I can't wait to do it again! While it hurts like hell, it's a great pain.

At about 6 o'clock I emerged from the bathroom, and Josh was sitting up straight in his bed...in the dark. I called him a weirdo, and turned on the light. He played DS as I gathered my things. I said goodbye to him, gave him a hug, and headed out the door. I made sure it was shut, and was half way down the hall when I heard the door re-open. He was standing there, looking at me. He said goodbye again, and told me to have fun. What a cutie.

I went downstairs to wait for the bus, and while in the lobby, grabbed a couple of band-aids for the blister my shoes have created on my left heel. The bus was early, and I was on my way by about 6:30. I slept a little bit of the way, but every time I put my head back, the strain on my neck had me cringing haha.

When we arrived at the airport, I checked myself in, put the tag on my luggage, dropped my bag off, and went straight through security. This is where my progress got delayed. There were two people in front of me that got stopped, and only one person checking bags. As we stood and waited, a security guy walked by and asked how we were all doing. I was smiling ear to ear. He started asking if we were going to yellowknife and were we excited. He turned and looked at me, and said I looked much to happy to be going somewhere like that. I said I was going to Vancouver and was very excited, and he said that was understandable. Security had to rescan my bag, and cuz she couldn't see everything in it, she got the lady to check it. A New Moon and Fifth Avenue Collection conversation later, and I was on my way. There was nothing wrong with what I had in my bag. She did put a lipgloss in a clear bag, but it was nothing I was worried about. I walked past my gate to the washroom, then paid a disturbing 10.99 for a Cinnamon Dolce Latte and a Yogurt, and came back to sit at my gate. That's where I am now. I'll be boarding in about 14 minutes.

So, a flight home, the plane landed before I even got through an episode of Glee, and I offered the guy beside me, the chance to get off the plane before me, but he refused. That's when I booked it. I was off that plane so fast. I walked VERY quickly on the moving sidewalk, to pass numerous people, took an extremely long and painful walk...but eventually, I was running down the stairs and into my sister's arms. Then I hugged my Mom, and next, my Dad. I was soooo happy! My Mom and I waited for my luggage, then met up with my Dad and Sister, upstairs, for a Starbucks. AWESOME!

My Dad left for work, and Tara, my Mom and I were on our way to do some running around. There was a Costco trip, some HUGE red juicy delicious apples, the bakery, and a lot of laughs. When we got back, Tara began making dinner while my Mom and I ran to the store to get some sour cream. Soon after we got back, my Brother and his gf got here. We ate as fast as we could, and left for BINGO!

We had some fun there, but let me tell you...old ladies can be bitches! One mistake, and they don't let you live it down. Thursday should make for an interesting event. After Bingo, and Tara's 50 dollar win, Fiona dropped the 3 of us at the pub. Quite a few laugh and some hours later, we were driving Stephen and a friend back to their places, and then hopped in a cab to get back to ours. Shortly after arriving, I went to sleep. xx
