Friday the 13th

I have been running on fumes for so long, it's hard for me to rest and relax (duh!) Today I gave my presentation which went fine, I think, but the whole day was not as I had planned it. First, I got hardly any sleep last night bc I was dreaming about the presentation and not really sleeping well. Then I did fall asleep, but had to get up at 6:30 so I could leave at 7 to pick up donuts and meet my co-partner to go over last minute planning. Well, I get into the car and I get a call from J who is at school and she says she forgot her history book, which will be charge to us at $60, could I please bring it by, before 7:25. That was calling it close, but I did make it there at exactly 7:25. Oh to live closer to the school!

Then I decided I would still get the donuts, but just be a little late. I drove back to C'ville and parked and walked it. There were at least 20 people in line. And it wasn't moving. I waited about a minute and decided to forget it. It would have taken at least 15 minutes, and I was late. Why didn't I order the donuts ahead of time?

I drive to school and there is an unusual amount of traffic on the road. Turns out there was a graduation (High School) at the Patriot's Center starting at 9:30. It was 8, and the traffic was already building up! I got a call from Linda saying she was in the same traffic as I was and she'd be there soon. I remembered a donut shop across the street from the school, so I suggested we stop there and meet, and I'd pick up the donuts.

That worked and we got to class in plenty of time. Our presentation was the second one, and we finished by 12, which was on time. After that was lunch. I was hunger and bought a sandwich, which was terrible. Bummer. I had left over donuts and someone else had bagels, which were yummy (with almond-honey spread). We had lab at 1 which was a practice for the IV lab we have to do next week. I left at three. I was so tired. Crash time for sure.

After I got home, I was just in time to meet N's school bus. Last day for him, too. Then I finally got to lie down and I fell fast asleep. J woke me up to take her to a friend's 'end of the school year' party. I was so asleep, it was hard waking up. I drove her (turns out she lives v. close and she could have walked had she known!) and came back home. Too late to sleep now so I did some computer stuff and phone calls until dh came home.

I had no idea where B or NK were as they were not up when I left and not home when I returned. I tried calling but didn't hear from either of them. We ate dinner and I tried to accomplish something (didn't work, ended up watching a rerun of Numb3rs) and then went to bed for real. I finally fell asleep and I get a phone call from S that B was being arrested, again!

I told her that he could go to jail, I wasn't going to bail him out. I tried to go back to sleep (yeah, right). Then about an hour later (just fell asleep) I got a call from B saying he was on his way home. Again, I tried to sleep. No happening. So I do finally doze a little and I hear my bedroom door rattle. I get up and B says he is sorry to disturb me but wants to give me a hug. I ask what happened and he says a cop tried to arrest him for public drunkenness. He says he is not drunk. They actually arrest him and search him. Nothing on him. He asks for a breath test and they finally do it. He is not drunk. Passes just fine. He wasn't driving. He wasn't acting up. No one else in the group was arrested. They pick on him because he was the only one with pending charges (motor vehicle). And I wonder why he has a problem with police!

So he is home and says all the right things....want to get a job, want to go to school, don't want to go to jail. Whatever.

Everyone is home now. It's almost 2 am and I really wanted to be asleep tonight. J has her last soccer game tomorrow at 3. N wants to join the swim team (belatedly) and has made a new friend from school. He honestly told me that "I don't have anything to do this summer." Mind you, today was the last day of school! It will be a long summer if that is the way he feels already!

Men's prayer breakfast in the morning, so dh will be gone with N early. I was hoping for a quiet house to work, but I don't think that will happen. NK has to work. I need to clean and now that we've got the paycheck, I need to grocery shop - not my fav thing to do on a Saturday! Maybe I can get there early. And I don't have any gas in my car (last fill up on Monday was $60).

Oh, and I got my schedule for July. But that's another post.
