nothing i ever do is easy

10-26

apparently what i have is hay fever. whatever it is, it doesn't feel nice. apparently i wasn't supposed to come to school today although i didn't learn this until morning tea. fml. could've used a day off. my date for fay's told me i shouldn't go and that she wouldn't take me, which of course ended up creating a mess. nothing i ever do is the easy way to do anything.

i asked one of my kid's moms how to get to browns bay by bus since my date backed out on me. she said she could just give me a ride since she was going there anyway to drop off dry cleaning. hell yeah, i thought, even though it's slightly awkward hanging out with my 6 year old kids outside of school. but i jumped in the van kinda thing and buckled in. kinda felt 6 myself.

we checked the phone book for the address before we left and quickly realized my destination was actually in milford, not browns bay. milford, unlike browns bay which is literally the next town over, is about 20 minutes away from where we were. i felt like such a shit. ugh and talk about awkward. the little girl's mom (and freakin family) not only drove me the whole way but had to stop to get gas so we could get there. i suck. seriously my life is just stupid sometimes. good thing i didn't walk like i thought i was going to have to.

ate the BEST guacamole at the gathering. probably was actually really rude about it - all of the americans left our spots in the living room and literally stood around the guacamole just devouring the food. the little old man, who i will call albert since he reminded me of the butler from batman, had to go back into the kitchen and literally make more guacamole we ate so much. whoops.

got to see my friends from home at the gathering (: we're going out for sushi friday night and out to the bars. can't wait for sushi bc we're right by asia, and can't wait for the bars bc apparently everybody loves the american girls here (: day trip on saturday to the west coast to a black sand beach. and rugby game soon since everybody already met a bunch of maori rugby players. definitely need to catch up there.

couscous, broccoli, carrots, moraccan chicken for dinner. yum (:
