It finally hit me today. And the result was utter exhaustion, bouts of hysteria, and bouts of giddy euphoria. I can't explain it. It was one of the best days I have had in a long time, yet it was beyond stressful at the same time.
I did four loads of laundry today. I still have a lot more to do since some of my clothes have never been washed before so I have to wash them separately. I got most of my things together and determined that I think it will be able to be put into the suitcases I was intending to bring. We won't know for sure until I gather the clothing I want to bring. Pretty much the only things not in a pile in my living room are my clothes, my computer, and my hairdryer and hair straightener. Along with various other things. But those are all small.
So now mostly I need to get my clothing done and I need to clean my room and pick a paint color so that my dad and his girlfriend can redo it while I'm gone.
Today was filled with several surprises. Well today and yesterday. I received a package in the mail from my aunt in Denver containing a tour book focusing on Perth. That was awesome because the only one I had was a huge one on the country as a whole and it was too big for me to pack. I got a card from my dad's girlfriend in the mail that contained two lottery tickets. One was a dud. One got me two dollars. I'm actually fairly excited. I've never won anything on scratch off lottery tickets before. Part of me wants to do what the Ernst family does and part of me wants to just take the money and buy some candy.
Speaking of the Ernst family, Andi and I had a fantabulous day today. We started it off by going to subway and saving two dollars by getting a footlong instead of each getting a six-inch. I felt like we were cheating the system. Then we went to Kroger because we had a coupon for one dollar off two bags of peanut butter M and Ms. When we got there we realized they were already a dollar off, so we saved three dollars. Then we paid in coins so it felt like they were free. We then shot over to the movie theater and bought tickets to see Leap Year. It was a completely terrible movie but in addition to that, the screen kept flickering. It wasn't too bad, but definitely distracting. We stopped to talk to a manager and explained that we had stayed for the whole movie but wanted to let them know about the problem. He gave us free movie passes, which we were completely not expecting. The total amount of savings today (counting the free tickets which we will be using tomorrow) comes to 15 dollars. Not too shabby. Then my dad took the two of us and Mike and his girlfriend to Bahama Breeze for a going away dinner. Mike, my dad, and I are going to go out to lunch on Thursday for a family thing. I'm excited. Maybe we'll go to Red Lobster!
So on a completely different note, my face has broken out like I am a fifteen year old boy. I don't know if it is nerves, or stress, but I definitely don't want to show up in Australia with a pimple face. Anyone know any good pimple fixes?
