working out for Disney

[ajrwdwgirl]

Yeah, it was overall a good weekend. We can at least laugh about how ridiculous the "puzzels" were on the city escape tour, and we stopped it because we could either have wasted 30 bucks and the time already spent, or 30 bucks plus a couple more hours. Why waste even more time on something that isn't fun when you can sit at a cafe and have a soda and then go buy books?? So we were able to salvage it. We're usually pretty good about that kind of thing. We're mostly pretty easy-going people and we can have a good time doing almost anything, and if what we are doing isn't fun, we just chalk it up to experience and find something else to do. It's one of the reasons I don't understand why he doesn't seem to enjoy Disney. We can have fun anywhere else and we are low maintenance....there's so much to do at Disney and there are so many options. I don't get how he can't find SOMETHING that doesn't make him grouchy. But whatever....as long as I can still go with E, I'm a happy camper.

I hear you on scents. Really strong scents will nauseate me and/or give me a headache. I'm not sure what classifies as a migraine and what's just a normal headache, so I don't want to say I get migraines. But it does make me feel ill. I can handle certain scents, like peppermint. That doesn't seem to bother me. Vanilla is another. But there are some that are just horrible. I can not go into a store that sells incense. There's something about that cloyingly sweet and burning thing that makes me immediately ill. And I hate when people bathe in perfume. There was a lady who came into the store on Wednesday, and half an hour after she left, I could still smell her perfume, and it's a scent I HATE....I don't know what perfume it is, but it smells AWFUL. I don't know why anyone would wear that. It smells almost like black pepper to me, but sweeter.

It's nice that she helps with the dogs and such and that she does nice things for you. I'm sure you'll get things figured out....she at least seems reasonable and willing to adjust, which is a good sign. I hope she has a great time there!! How far is her school from you?

Her school is about an 18 minute drive. So not too bad. Hopefully she is a good winter driver when the time comes.

It's a good thing we have cell phones now! That helps. When I was doing my student teaching, I had to commute about an hour each way every day, and cell phones were just starting to become more available, so I got one in case I went off the road, or ran out of gas or something. I did get run off the road once during a snow storm. The roads were still open, but you couldn't see the middle line under the snow and someone came over a hill right down the center, and I had to choose between an almost head on, or the ditch. I chose the ditch. Fortunately, half the traffic in Wyoming consists of cattle ranchers in pickup trucks and someone with a winch came along and was able to pull me out pretty quickly, but I had my cell phone just in case.

18 minutes isn't too bad. Are the roads pretty decent? Where did she grow up? Is she used to driving in snow? No one over here knows how to drive in snow, because IF we get snow, it usually doesn't stick too long.
