Remind me to talk about the national prayer service later

I seem to have, thus far, wasted my last day at home. It's not like I meant to. I was going to stay home and get myself all organized, and make myself feel good about how things were going. But, one thing led to another.

I went to bed around 3A, and woke up at 9, nauseous. Surprise, surprise. I'm not tired. But it will all catch up to me eventually. My Dad was masturbating when I got up. No, I didn't see it, THANK GOODNESS, that would have scarred me for life, but it was obvious. I walked out of my room and down the hall, pretty slowly. He had heard my door open, thankfully, and was pulling his pants up, and fixing his belt as I walked by him sitting in front of the computer screen. I didn't see what it was, but he minimized something on the screen and was quite squirmy. He said "You're up early!"

Wonderful! It's great when your parents completely underestimate how much you know about stuff like that. He was probably breathing a sigh of relief all morning, thinking he hadn't gotten caught. And I was just too sick to care. I walked around for a while, and eventually felt better.

Then I started packing. I got all the clothes in my closet done, but not much more, when my mom came home for lunch. I waited till her lunch was done and brought her back to work. I did my banking and headed over to TJ Maxx for my last check. There was a sign on the door that said they would be closed from noon until one. It was 12:30. But I was rather impressed that they had closed in remembrance of the victims of flight 11. When they re-opened, I went in and foudn out that the reason for it was that 7 of the passengers on flight 11 were employees, all of which had been with the company for 5 years or more. That kind of hit me. Wow...you know?

So, now I've wasted my afternoon, but I DID meet a fellow NU freshman at the bank today! That was kind of neat, but we will probably never see each other again. And now I'm in Floyd's room listening to Ani and waiting for her to come back so that I can play "In or Out" for her.

My theme, of course. I have to pee though, AGAIN! so, I will go do that now.
