The Traveling Adventure Of Simon

[Kintsugi]

OH man. Yesterday. For real. This week. Wtf. Just thought I'd share my life somewhere.

Monday: ER, majorly traumatic lady examination, DID NOT give me anything to calm me, DID NOT know what was wrong, DID NOT prescribe pain killers... waste of traumatic ass time... dissociation, hallucinations, crying, near violence... blah.

Tuesday: dropped off my dogs with separate friends... NEVER have I EVER left my Annie girl with anyone more than four days. Never left Hamlet longer than four days OR with anyone but my ex. >.< Drove to another state. Saw cousins and their daughters. Good stuff.

Wednesday: attempted to board a plane... apparently booked for the next day on identical flight, WTF. I didn't have my own itinerary, took my dad's word for dates. Went back to cousins'.

Thursday: got to airport, found that my flight was going to be delayed so long I would not make connection in Chicago. Ran into guy with same problem, traveling with four co-workers. Tobacco reps. Options for other flights f*cking SUCK in terms of getting in late... so... best flight is to nearby San Francisco to get to Sacramento... so... Simon agrees to hitch a ride in a van with five tobacco reps, a rental we'd get in SF. Simon boards an AWESOME (but initially scary-looking) tiny puddle jumper plane with five dudes she just met. Simon flies to DC. Simon flies to SF. Simon and tobacco guys find out van rental is crazy expensive. Simon and tobacco reps take a one hour train to near one of the dude's houses. Dude's wife and daughter drop off HIS van. Dude drives Simon and four other dudes to Sacramento.

Polyglot CHEWS THE SHIT out of Simon. Simon deserved it. Simon traveled all day with five men she didn't know.

Simon had a f*ckING BLAST yesterday.

*deep breath*

:dead:

Simon got where Simon needed to be :)

She sure did! :smug: :barefoot:

ETA: the above summary really doesn't cover it. I'd like to thank my buddies Mike (van driver), Ron (man who I first met, super sweet, cougar-catcher ;), bought me much-needed iced coffee), Rich (thanks for the train ticket and fries), Samirchhhh (also thanks for driving and being generally f*cking hilarious), and Manny (also, ridiculously hilarious, and you my friend are an awesome man in general) for safely delivering me to Polyglot's truck. We had a blast. I am REALLY regretting not taking pictures, but daaamn did we have a good time.

The drive from San Fransisco to Sacramento can be a long one if you don't have good company. Sounds like you did though. Glad you made it safe.

If you are in Sac, make sure you visit Old Town Sac. I love it there. The shops are super cute.

I'd like to add it was very considerate of you to give him something to gripe about / get it out of his system from the get go. ;) :D :P And, hey! No cars needed to end up in ditches to do so? Bonus1

@FridayJones Right?! :sneaky: I told him at least we're getting all our bullshit out of the way early in this relationship.
