Yesterday was busy. Ray and I took the lawnmower to be fixed--all the way to Winder. There's not a good place closer. My Dad wanted to take it to Watkinsville, but Ray thought it was better to take it to the place we bought it. We had to take the truck and the Captain wanted to drive it and was unhappy that I said we would go. It may be a couple weeks before it's ready and the grass is already way too tall.
Then we had to rush home and switch cars to get to Pilates a few minutes late. There was a substitute teacher who wasn't bad, but I like Amanda, our regular instructor--not that she isn't allowed to go out of town for the weekend. We stopped at the Farmer's Market on our way home for bread and potatoes.
Then we were home for awhile. We had a light early supper of steamed veggies and salad before heading to the Roller Derby. Captain had wanted to go for while and I got an email about volunteering for it, so we went for it. Ray and I were supposed to be there at 5:30, although there wasn't much for us and the other volunteers to do, except get ready for the intermission entertainment. We brought chairs and set them up for Vanessa and the Captain. They sat right in front at the corner and were at risk of having someone in their lap, but it didn't quite happen. Ray and I ate hot dogs and French fries and even snow cones! It was really hot in there and the snow cone was cool. At half time, we distribute glow bracelets to the children who participated in the hula hoop contest, and gave out water bottles to ones we identified as winners. It made me miss my little girls--I could have brought you home a glow bracelet! We saw a few people there we knew, including the mayor, but it was mostly a pretty different crowd. It was fun that we knew one of the Classic City Roller Girls--Cindy Wunder. But it was a little stressful; it seemed likely that she would get hurt. An interesting and intense sport that I know a lot more about now. Lots of officials and a commentator. Silly names, like Poke a Dot and Hella Blitzgerald. Outrageous costumes, involving short shorts and fish nets--one of the opponents had silver hot pants or booty shorts as Jenna Black's mom said.
On our way home, we stopped at Dairy Queen to get milkshakes at Vanessa's request.
I slept fine until I woke at 4 from a bad dream. I was traveling across country by bus and was pleasantly surprised at how nice the bus was and how fast it was going. My Mom wanted me to get off at one of the stops. Not sure if she was in the bus with me, or outside waving me down. Anyway, I got off without anything, my purse or suitcase or even my phone--and the bus left without me. I couldn't find an office to ask about it and I was stuck somewhere with nothing. I woke up sweating and shaky. It's funny what seems like a nightmare, the content is less important than the feeling. Do you think it means I feel like my life is out of control???
