Day Five/Home: 09/03/09

1:15 pm

I don't remember what I blogged yesterday. Well the family went to Animal Kingdom and Downtown Disney Shopping village. I stayed at the hotel. I rested, read my books, got food at the caf, packed, and organized all that. They came back; we packed more, settled in for the night. I was horribly awakened at 3:45 am, dozed until 3:54 am when my foot was shaken and I was firmly told to GET UP. Got ready, left the suite at 4:39 am. The Disney Magical Express airport shuttle bus arrived about 4:50-4:55 am. It was NOT magical. Two stops after picking us up, & a 40 minute ride to the airport. The bus played music from some of the rides at the parks. It SUCKED. I was so thankful to own an iPod. We got to the airport about 5:45 & checked our bags. We headed to the restrooms and then to Starbucks. Tazo Tea: Sweetened Shaken Iced Tea Passion Lemonade. And an espresso brownie. I discovered I lost the tie-belt to my favorite sweater while we were at Starbucks. I was so upset, still am. Gracie claimed she saw it in the restroom but didn't realize it was mine (I wonder so often, Where is her head?? But I know I'm like that too and our dad. ADHD/ADD is NOT cool). She ran back to look. She didn't find it sadly, so I went and found the sweetest friendliest most cheerful janitor to ask where the lost and found was. I loved him. His English was not impressive but he was so sweet. Mum and I headed over to the lost and found. They didn't open until 7. I wrote down the number & email. I still have to call them. I'm going to ASAP. We went through security after waiting for the 11-year-old to go to the ladies' AGAIN. We got to our gate and boarded in about 10 minutes. I closed my eyes and had my hands over my face when we went up. I hate flying and I hate heights. I read my book during the flight and it was somewhat enjoyable. The flight that is, my book is great. As soon as the seat belt light clicked on, and the captain told us we were beginning our descent, my stomach nose dived. Nauseous for the rest of the flight. I wasn't ok until I got to baggage claim. We got off the plane and I went down there while everyone else hit the restrooms. I'd gotten three of our bags by the time they got there. We got our bags, Daddy picked up the car, and we went HOME. My nervous-anxiety-OCD kicked in and I was in a mad rush to unpack and organize and clean. Like panic attack, freaking out, I couldn't handle it not being all taken care of. So I did. We were home about 11:15 and I was unpacked by 12:45. And that’s entirely unpacked. Toiletries, clothes, shoes, carry on, everything. I'm folding the laundry now and I have 5 days worth of newspapers to read. It’s so amazing to be home. I'm so tired. I have things to do though. Goodbye Florida. ...Hello my home in New Hampshire.

I messed up this post somehow. Don't know how. Not pleased.

Day One - 08/30/09

12:37 pm

So I'm in Orlando, on the Disney Resort Magical Express shuttle/bus service. I'm very tired and hungry. This bus has adjustable foot rests though. My 5 foot tall body is very thankful. My feet are dangling a good six inches off the floor otherwise. I'll have pics up on Facebook when we get home I think. Lots of stops, but ours is next, All-Star Music Resort!

10:23 pm

Long day. Long day. I was very stressed out towards the end, I took off my rings to apply sunblock and when I went to put them back on, my wedding ring from Mia was gone. I was in the food court at that point so I went back up to the suite and searches. Then called my mum in tears because that was just the last straw. I was mentally, physically, emotionally unable to handle anything else especially losing my wedding band. I was sitting on my chair-soon-to-be-pulled-out-bed-evil-army-cot waiting for her to get up there because she was coming for Sophie's sunglasses. I go to put my other rings back on. My wedding ring was stuck inside my spoon ring. I burst into tears all over again. The family went out to MGM, and I stayed there at the suite resting. I was just done. Could. Not. Cope. Now its 10:30 and I've got a double cheeseburger and a milkshake and I'm about to go to sleep and wake up at 7 am so we can be at the Magic Kingdom when it opens at 9.

Ok, I'm exhausted. Like I feel like falling asleep right now.

I woke up this morning and found a ladybug about a foot away from my face. Now, I couldn't see it because I'm blind without my contacts, so I moved closer and upon seeing what the moving thing was, flicked it away. If I'd had the presence of mind at that moment I could have squished it or rescued it or something. Nope, I didn't have presence of mind and flicked the darn thing away from me.

I got up and upon walking to the bathroom, I walk into the corner of it, on the crown molded woodwork around the door. Ouch.

Somehow I was in a good mood because none of this upset me. It kind of made me laugh but I might have been slightly loopy from lingering sleepiness and a knock on the head.

Got ready, and went out with Mum and Grace. We went to Tyngsboro to pick up Gracie's glasses, then we went across the street/D.W. to the Pheasant Lane Mall to go to Target. I needed a bag for our trip and I don't remember what Mum and Grace were getting.

Our last stop was CVS for me, and Best Buy next door to look for a camera case for Grace.

I had great success at CVS (I was worried I wouldn't find what I needed) and they found a camera case while I was in CVS. The one thing I forgot was Lactaid pills. Goshdarn, this is a problem.

We came home and I ate quickly and then went to the dentists' office. All went well there, made future appointments and came home.

I've been packing, cleaning, organizing, etc. I finished hanging up some wall things that were taken down when my room was being painted, I sorted out a few cluttered junk filled areas. I'm working on an ongoing project I have.

I had to stop when my grandmother came over and be "social". I don't like that. I repaired a bag that had a damaged strap while we were eating. We had dinner, chit-chatted, etc. I did some dishes and cleaned up the table and island for my mom after.

She went home and I did something after that I have no idea what it was and now I'm blogging because I didn't get to again yesterday and I don't know what will be going on tomorrow. I know that I don't think I'll be on the computer again tonight however because I am so freaking tired!!

I'm going to play with the BumperSticker app on facebook for a little while because I've been consolidating all the ones with phrases/sayings/quotes that fit with me/my life/personality for my blog.

Then I'm going to get off the computer and go to my room and work on my project and eventually, hopefully not too too late;

Go. To. Sleep.
