But I did [have to get up early]. In fact, Dad got me up at 0830. We battened down the house and left at 1000.
-Mom and Dad drove today. It was an uneventful drive. We went nonstop through Indianapolis and I sat in the back and designed a floor plan for a house I want to build. I have all three floors mostly done, but it needs refining.
-I had plenty of time to work on them. It took many hours of just sitting in the car twiddling thumbs, hours and hours, to get to and through Chicago. Then we passed through some suburbs. After a few, we were finally in Cary, and we eventually found Ellen & Chuck's house, which if I forgot to tell you is where we're staying.
-When I got out of the car Mom asked me if I remembered the place. I went here last when I was four. No, of course I don't remember it, dweeb. Aunt Ellen opened the door and there was an awkward moment where everyone hugged each other. Then we all came inside. Mom immediately took me upstairs to see if I remembered a certain room with an airplane motif that I supposedly slept in last time I was here. I didn't. It was twelve years ago, dweeb! It was a small room, but that's still where I get to sleep tonight, in a micro-sized bed, with Micah snoring nearby.
-Aunt Ellen and Uncle Chuck ordered pizza, so ate and got really full. Then I lounged reading the Calvin and Hobbes Lazy Sunday Book, which it turns out they have. We socialized a little... in a way... and then more and then it was time for bed.
