At Last

Today started out great. I had a great workout at the gym, Becca was in a good mood, my Disney music was shaking the entire house, I got some sunshine and read Psalms while Becca napped, and we even took the dog for a walk together. And then 3:00 pm rolled around. And she started to get grabby. And fussy. And she wouldn't stop crying for a while. I don't know what's gotten into her! I honestly think that she just misses her family a lot. After all, she hasn't seen them for almost 2 weeks! That's gotta be lonely and depressing for her. And I do what I can to help, but most of the time nothing works. She went up to her room so many times today and every time she did, she would close the door behind her. Well, the problem is that they have a thing on her doorknob so that she can't open her door when she's in the room. So she'd be in there for about 5 minutes and then start crying and pounding on the door. So I'd go up and open it and tell her to come down. Most of the time she didn't. She'd close the door again and be fine but then 5 minutes later, lo and behold! she'd by crying and banging the door again! Oy vey...but she eventually came down and was happy spinning in circles for a while or sitting outside. And she went to bed without fussing, and that's always a plus.

So then I thought to myself "At last, some peace and quiet! I'm gonna get me a starbucks drink!" so I went to the only starbucks I know of that is closer than 20 minutes away, but it was CLOSED!!! What kind of starbucks closes before 9pm? I don't get it. So I was sad. And I still am. But I'll just get one when I go to pick up Becca (momma Becca) from the airport on Thursday. Cuz that's the only other SBux I know of...20 minutes away, on the way to the airport. So, that's that. Oh, and today just confirmed to me that I am indeed lactose intolerant. More sad news. Oh well! C'est la vie!!

That's life through the eyes of a banana munchkin, who's desperate for a yummy starbucks iced mocha...or something.
