Yet again I was too clumsy to remember to take my camera with me when I left the house, so, yet again, no pictures for you. Ten seconds before I left the house, I was down in my room and I reminded myself to grab the camera before I left, but do you think I did? Of course not.
Regardless, mother came home from work about when I finished taking my shower, and then she, father, and I went up to Sears and Sleep Country to search for a mattress. I kind of liked the clerk at Sears and I think we'll be spending about $450 on a mattress from them. The folks at Sleep Country were really sleazy and tried to confuse me with various displays and mattress-jargon. I didn't really realize there was so much mattress-jargon, but apparently so. And apparently everyone has their own mattress-jargon. What we need is a committee to standardize the mattress-jargon. It doesn't really matter much, though. Really, anything would be more comfortable than the horrible fifty year-old mattress I'm currently sleeping on. We figured we may as well get something nice for a change. Otherwise we'd just get one from the thrift store (again). Long story short, it was really comfy, and I suppose it's probably worth it.
After that, we went to Walmart briefly, then dropped father off at home. Mother and I went to Safeway and picked out a bunch of food. We shouldn't go shopping when we're hungry. We came home with a dozen bagels, about four pounds of chocolate in various forms, and a lot of four-cheese tortellini, half of which we threw in the freezer. Dinner was good, and the pre-dinner bagel was also quite good. I've been eating those Cadbury mini-eggs all night while avoiding my paper proposals. I suppose I should consider doing them at some point in time. Right now, however, I should probably fill out that survey for the experiment that I'm participating in tomorrow. Apparently I have to read a bunch of German words so my German phonetics professor can get data for one of her papers or the like.
Okay, I'm too distracted by life and everything right now to really put much thought into this post. Sorry.
the only reason you are here now is a reminder of what I'll never have.
I'll never have... I'll never...
Standing so close knowing that it kills me to breathe you in,
standing so close knowing that it kills me to breathe you in.
But this table for one has become bearable.
I now take comfort in this, and for this, I cherish you.
Did you ever look, did you ever see that one person
and the subtle way that they do these things and it hurts so much?
