Friday was interesting experience number one, that being the doctor's visit. For one, it's annoying as all get out when you show up not only on time, but fifteen minutes early for your appointment and they STILL keep you waiting for two hours. Secondly, it was also a bit odd to walk into a crowded waiting room and realize I was the only person there who had actually been born in the US. (Turns out all that doctor does is immigration stuff.) There were people from every continent but Antarctica, and that's no exaggeration. And, since they poked and prodded him six ways from Sunday (and made him get naked), he was pretty much a complete joy to be around the entire day (can you feel the sarcasm?). But, I can't blame him. Poor thing.
Saturday was interesting experience number two. Walked into the laundromat in a predominantly black and Hispanic section of Winston to find Deliverance playing on the tvs. What the? But, I actually had a nice time doing laundry (imagine that) thanks to this little girl who reminded me alot of myself when I was that age. She was fearless, and just started talking to me. Kid's got moxie.
Sunday was actually a nice normal day, oddly enough.
Yesterday was a complete asspain. We had to return to the doctor's office to get his PPD read (negative, of course), and between shitty Greensboro traffic and a car that doesn't like me I thought we'd never get back to Winston. Not to mention the fact that I got lost at least twice. Luckily, the last time we were trying to get back to west I-40, and his best friend Samer was heading to school so he came and showed me the way. He's a sweetheart. :) (Also, if he had blue eyes, he'd be my friend Eddie Czuzuka's twin brother, no lie.)
And that, my dears, is why I'm barely able to hold my head up today. I'm pooped.
