Overall, today was actually a good day. I finished the Percy Jackson series. I'm sad that it's over. I did some marking. I'm glad that it's over. I went out for coffee with Dana and we came back to my house to watch some movies. Rather productive and eventful for me.
The thing that sucked was that my sister asked me to drive her to a party. I should have realized that if I drove her there, she would need a ride back. Cue the chanting of "stupid, stupid, stupid!. I had this same revelation last night when this same scenario played out. Talk about slow learner.
Dana and I just got back from our coffee when my sister asked me to take her back out. This had to be done immediately. The party was literally a block away from the coffee shop I'd previously been in. Dana and I returned here and managed to get through a whole movie before my sister called again wanting to be picked up. I'd finally gotten warm from my last foray into the outdoors. I really didn't want to go get her. But I'm nice, so I did. I also drove her friend home. Dana and I were not happy. We were cold.
I spent a good deal of time wondering why my sister was asking me for all these rides. She has a car of her own. She could at least get herself TO the party. Again, I can't believe it took this long, but I think I finally figured it out. Gas is about 1.32$ a litre. It's better to use our parents car than to use her own. If only you could see my face... it is the face of unimpressed. I don't mind going to get her from a party, especially not if she's been drinking, but it's cold, late and for once I was having a life. Couldn't she for the sake of my sanity and my toes call a cab?
After two days of being a chauffeur, I can say with absolute certainty that I do not desire that particular career. It is off the table! I don't care how much time Mr. Fairchild gets to read! I'll envy his time, not his position. (Sabrina reference, not just me being random.)
And so, I'm am going to bed.
Lauren.
