This Picture Makes Me Smile.
Me and Dad drove home yesterday for Thanksgiving dinner but we had to come back last night. It was a spooky drive. I've never really went a long distance on a holiday before or if I did, I don't remember it. But it seemed so weird. There was nothing open except a few convience stores. Everything looked like ghost towns because the stores had no cars in front of them. It was like something out of an end of the world horror movie. It was spooky but cool. But there was traffic, just not major traffic. That's another reason things seemed so weird. There was all of this traffic, people going all over the place but no businesses were open.
On the way back, alot of the convience stores were closed and there was almost no traffic. It was one of those nights you hope that you don't have car trouble. It was kinda gloomy. There was some clouds but when we were out in the boonies, it was kinda foggy. And it was cold. So I guess most people stayed the night with their families. It was even weirder on the way back because places that are always lit up, were closed and dark. At some places where there were normally alot of outside lights and traffic, it did look like the end of the world because of everything being closed. Some places we went thru were almost completely dark. Just a few street lights and stuff like that. It was an awesome drive back.
But I got to spend some time with the family. Plato is still crazy. He was so torn between being close to me and getting attention from everybody else. And to make it worse, Shea wants to be as close to Plato as possible. But Shea's a baby and he isn't gentle with Plato. But with Plato, any attention is still attention so he was eating it up. And Shea is getting big. Man he barely knows who I am. Kinda makes me sad. But what can you do. To be truthful, I didn't want to come back but it was part of being able to go home in the first place. Treatments and stuff still goes on no matter if it's a holiday or not. Man I miss being at home.
My Dad decided to work today and take off Monday and Tuesday. I think he's gonna take Mom out this weekend. Just their time. I've been feeling ok, so I finally talked them into doing something for them. I need to get them out of my hair for a couple of days. I think they're going up in the mountians of Arkansas to a spa or something like that. My Mom will love it.
So I guess I should tell about going to church to appologise to the preacher. I found out that he is a good person once I decided to trust him. So I decided to go to his church and appologise to him, I was out of line and acted like a crazy person the day I met him. And I was really really hoping to talk to him after church (I didn't want to do it in front of a bunch of people). But when we got there, he was standing at the door, welcoming everybody in. So I went up to him and shook his hand, he was very surprised to see me too. Anyway I told him that what I did was wrong. I told him I was truely sorry for what I said to him and that he did nothing wrong. He said something like it was ok and he understood what I was saying that day. And he asked me to stay after the service and talk for a few minutes. I said ok but it felt like being called to the principle's office. LOL. After sunday school and everything, he started his service. Part of his sermon was about what happened that day he came to the apartment. He preached about doing good deeds in the wrong way; even if it was innocently done, things can cause misunderstandings. Like asking me if I was saved when I'm sick. He didn't single me out or anything, but I knew what he was refering to. So after the service I waited till everybody had cleared out mostly and we talked for a few minutes. He wanted to make sure I didn't get mad about his sermon. He said that it was about our first meeting but he didn't want to embarrasse me. He said that he didn't know I was gonna be at the service that day or he would gave me a warning about his sermon. But it wasn't anything. I wasn't embarrassed.
Then I met his family. They're cool. He's got an awesome wife, almost a stepford wife. LOL. Just not robotic and demented. She's just great. His kids are ok. They teach their kids at church, kinda like home schooled. But there are a few other kids that go there. I guess it's a private church school. I didn't meet his oldest son, he's married and lives somewhere else. His oldest daughter is kinda wild looking but ok, she's like 20. His next daughter is 13 and real athletic. I haven't been around the girls that much, just a few minutes at church. His son Zek is 16 and kinda nerdy. LOL. Like I have the right to say anything like that about anybody. But he's been over a couple of times when his Dad has come over and it's kinda nice to have somebody my age around here. So maybe if I feel like it, we may go and check out a movie, or the mall. If I don't feel like it, we may just hang out over here or at his house. Probably over here. I'm more comfortable around here.
