Yesterday (Thursday) traffic was actually really, really good for the first time in a long time. Mike & I got to work on time and got home at a reasonable time. Carrie had had a rather stressful day doing wedding duties all during her split-shift. Unfortunately she had already left for class by the time I returned. She left me a list of things she needed me to get done while she was teaching, including going to Fred Meyer and depositing her check, running dishes and laundry, and taking the garbage to the curb (something we've forgotten to do for like the past three weeks or something crazily stupid). Once I got all of those things done I thought I should do something nice for Carrie, so I went to Stadium Thriftway and bought some chotlate tate and house cream.
Brandy & I were to hang out that evening. I was to bring over a movie for us to watch, but I got indecisive and just jammed like a dozen DVDs in a bag and took them all over. I left Carrie's tate on the coffee table with a note in case she got home before I did.
Brandy & I eventually settled on Ghost World, which is a fine, fine flick. We watched the movie and I gave her a nice backrub. I should really get some actual training on how to give massages—I have some natural talent, but I could be a kickass masseuse. Except that I only like giving massages to people I know. The thought of giving a massage to a stranger for money just seems too much like prostitution for me. I'm a weirdo, though. At any rate, it was a nice, relaxing evening.
Perhaps too relaxing? I actually ended up falling asleep towards the end of the movie. When Brandy woke me up it took me a couple seconds to recognize my surroundings.
"Was I asleep?" I asked.
"Uh-huh," she answered.
[Pause] "Was I snoring?"
She held up her thumb and pointer finger about two inches apart. "Just a little bit," she smiled.
How embarrassing.
Anyway, it was pretty late when I woke up. I thought Carrie should probably already be home, but if that were the case then why hadn't she called me? She must not have been home yet. Well, when I left Brandy's I checked my phone. Hmmm, that's funny, I thought. I don't remember turning my phone off. So I hit the power button to turn it back on and nothing happened. See, there's this funny thing that happens to your phone if for several days in a row you don't plug it in: it dies. So Carrie HAD come home and called me; I was just unable to answer due to the fact that I'm an idioto.
So I rushed home and found the tate on the coffee table had big bites out of it and Carrie was in bed playing solitaire.
