The weekend of the 27th was a busy one, a wedding, a photo shoot for dance class and then a birthday dinner for one of my Heads of Household; all that after moving CreepyKid into her dorm on Friday, preceded by a trip to Disneyland on Thursday.
Moving CreepyKid in wasn’t too bad. I had planned on loading the car Wednesday night, driving down for Disneyland and moving then off to the wedding…now, what is that they say about best laid plans? Turns out the wedding stuff I was toting didn’t fit with CreepyKid’s stuff…there would be a round-trip in my future. Luckily we spent the night at my parents’ place so I didn’t have to do a multiple round trip in the same day. *whew*
Disneyland was fun, we met up with CreepyMom and AuntMom for a ride on Star Tours, but we spent most of the time alone. We ended up leaving early, so we could get a good night’s rest for the moving, but as it turned out neither one of us slept well.
Up early in the morning we got to LMU, only 15-20 minutes away (counting the slow speed limit on campus AND the walk to registration.) We stood in line 30 minutes only to be told “You’re in the wrong line.” SUCK…a trip to the OTHER dorm area and another 30 minutes…in the sun….waiting….we got CreepyKid squared away.
We borrowed one of their canvas “trucks” and moved all of her things into her room and returned the truck in 15 minutes. It was pretty quick. After meeting her roommate and her parents I was sitting around…helping tidy when I thought “WOW it’s getting late, I better get a move on….” I mentioned to CreepyKid since she wanted me back for dinner, I got up to hit the road…it was only 10:30AM. Yup..no sleep and so much activity my internal clock was all out of whack.
So I jump in my car and head home, stopping off at the store to get some missing items (laundry stuff, padlock, etc.), got there, loaded up and turned right back around. Yes, it is only a 2-2 ½ hour drive, but when you’re sitting in the car like that for so long it can become tiring….my back hurt….I’m old.
I was in time for unload the car for CreepyKid part 2 and then we went off for In&Out…yes, they were catering on campus, but the line was long…really long…and they were only taking cash. So, she and I ran to the In&Out by LAX…had dinner and I returned her in time for the compulsory brain-washing that evening.
I, on the other hand, filled up my gas tank once again and headed down to the OC, I was spending the night with my Head of Household, Madam Constance, and wanted to get there without being too late. I showed up, her hubby was getting the music together for the reception, she was having a drink…I had one too…and we sat, painted nails and talked about the day to come….I also got to take a shower…which was nice after all that heat and activity.
