today was busy. i got up this morning and had just enough time to eat a big bowl of cinnamon crunchie pillows before mom was hustling me out the door. this morning we took my dad to the airport. he has to go to austria for a week. booo. i will miss him. he's going to give some talks about stuff he does. i looked over his speech last night- long boring story about fish guts. kind of glad i'm staying home with mom.
it only took a few minutes to drive dad to the airport and drop him off. we said good bye and off we went to do other things. mom drove us into town, except we missed the turn we wanted and ended up in the plaza with jiffy lube. mom looked at her reminder sticker and said- oh what the hell. it's wed (that means lady's day $8 off your oil change.) we're right here and the oil does need to be changed, let's go to jiffy lube. alright! donuts.
we drove in to jiffy lube and talked to the guy. turns out that once again we need more than just an oil change. the car battery was testing low so mom said- go ahead and change that too. while the guys worked on the car mom and i went over to Ddunkindonuts. i ordered a box of holes- MOSTLY CHOCOLATE! the counter guy gave me some knuckle bumps and a box full of chocolate donut holes. i am happy.
it only took a few minutes to get the car sorted out. i ate a few holes while we waited. nom nom nom. delicious. i was rather annoyed with mom when she took the box off me and said i couldn't eat them all. moms, always ruining fun. car got done and mom drove us on to our next location- the dollar store.
dollar store is not really that great. they didn't have what mom was looking for but i scored a pool noodle. this day just keeps getting better. mom says if the sun ever comes out, we can hit the pool and try it out.
went to a few more stores with mom. she's looking for this special kind of knife that she uses in book making. no one has any. what the hell? mom did find a mango cutter to buy though. it's pretty cool.
after all that shopping mom and i went home. the weather is really weird- kind of cool and it could rain any second. we're just going to hide out inside until the weather figures out what it wants to do. ate some lunch and watched movies with mom. today she put on something called- superman. i have never seen this film before. it started off kind of boring and slow but by the end i was really into it. superman can fly. flying is pretty awesome. i talked mom into making me some paper airplanes and i threw them all over the room, along with my socks. i practised flying myself by jumping from the coffee table to the couch. mom was not impressed.
the sun finally came out around 6pm. mom got me a big bowl of soup which i ate up. then we went SWIMMING! it's been ages. a week's worth of rain will really cut into your splash time. i got to use my new pool noodle. it was great. the pool was a little on the cool side but i didn't care. i had a nice long slash and play. after the pool it was home for a quick bath.
so my first day without dad was alright. mom and i had some good fun. it's time to curl up on the couch for a bit of toystory and then bed.
