Got up in the am and ran some errands - not al the ones i meant to do. I sent out a ton of postcards to various and sundry while I was away. i wrote more that I didn't send yet, so some people won't get Bahamian stamps, but hey at least you'll get postcards! Eventually. Anyway, I bought a couple rumcakes - one for me, one as a thank you gift, but now I am thinking I should have gotten a bigger one for the gift... I just didn't have room! After that, it was back to the hotel to kill time until check out at 12 - my plane wasn't supposed to leave until 2:55, but it takes a while to get out to the airport, so I figured leaving at 12 would be fine. What i did was - I re-read some of Pieces so I could remember what I was doing with it. Man some of that stuff is cool, if I do say so myself!

Eventually got the rest of my things together and headed downstairs. they got me a cab, rode out to the airport, found out there was an hour delay. Wasn't too worried, as I'd purposefully booked my CS flight a bit later expecting this kind of thing. They had free wireless (but only one crappy restaurant) in the airport, so I had a tuna sandwich, some cheese pringles and a crappy mango/carrot/sugar juice and killed time online. I eventually did some writing (Pieces) and started reading The Brothers Karamazov. I had a hard time with Russian literature. I enjoy it but I can only handle it in little doses, so over the course of the day i think I only read about 100 pages.

Got on the plane around four, mostly slept, read, and listened to tunes. I have traveled so much that I always can tell when they are about to tel you to turn off your electronic devices about a minute before they actually do, whee. Got in to CS and eventually figured out that my 7:30 flight was delayed until 10:20 :p Had dinner of a crappy veggie pizza (had to pick off olives even though they weren't listed on the toppings, bah), read more, wrote more, listened to more music. Got very sleepy. Had a snack later from McDonalds (fries, fruit/yogurt parfait, water) because everything else was closed - it was the first time I've been in one in over a year. I thought it was longer than that, but I just now recalled getting apple pies and orange juice on occasion from the one right behind the department at ECU.

Finally took off around 10:10, got in to CS around 10:50. Called Miss Megan only to find that she was already ready for bed, if not already *in* bed... But she kindly came out to get me anyway, yay for her! :D

Got home to find crap all over my floor (see previous post). Also they are now doing serious work on the building beside me, so I am apparently going to have to live with loud construction all summer again (I blame Rob, somehow this is his fault). And their porta-potty is right outside my bedroom window, apparently - that shit is also not cool! Argh! Anyway, I am back - welcome to Fuckin' Texas :p

Things I need to do today:
get dressed and fed
put shit away
clean my house better, esp the bathroom (midnight tidying = not good enough)
collect mail
sort receipts and such to take in to the department
call Miss Claire, coordinate dinner plans with her and Megan
probably some other crap I am forgetting...
Maybe I will finish this Pieces section and post it :x

Also I am rocking on this song lately, so thanks again insertfancyname!
