Aaaahhhhh....
Rest and relaxation. No work, no school, no worries. I'm in Vermont, at my mom's (and not looking after her this time). I'm on spring break from school, and figured what the hell, may as well go somewhere where the snow is even deeper!
I left Boston Wednesday afternoon -- skipped out of work at 3, and hopped on the 4 o'clock Greyhound. The ride was blissfully uneventful -- I put on my headphones, looked out the window, napped, woke up to change CDs, napped some more, looked out the window... the bus arrived late, as usual, because the driver didn't seem to understand that the big pedal on the right makes the bus go faster. But other than that, it was all Radiohead and snoozing. Got home, got fed (Mom cooking! Yippee!) petted the cats and dog, and went to bed. Thursday my mom had to work, so I slept in, played on the computer (with no worries about being caught by my boss!) and wandered down to my favorite record store, where I spent far too much time and money in high school. I always had a crush on the owner, and was always pestering him to give me a job... sadly, he never seemed to notice me. Alas... I did buy a Pixies CD, and a Radiohead video I've been pining for. Mom and I wandered around the mall for a bit, and then got lovely Chinese food for dinner. Today, I slept in again while my mom took the car in for an oil change, and then we wandered around Fair Haven and downtown Rutland. Bought two more CDs (The Man Who by Travis and Severe Tire Damage by They Might Be Giants) and a copy of X-Men for ten bucks. Spent the afternoon downloading Snood for my mom, and playing with the pets, and generally loafing around. I'm planning to do it again tomorrow, woo woo! Hey, it may not make for exciting entries, but I'm enjoying myself...
