Salutations
I will skip straight to the things y'all are actually here to read
The daily announcements! Song of the day: Piano Man by Billy Joel
Lowest as price: 3.32
Highest gas price: 4.19
Agressive signs:
- EXIT NOW - STRIPPERS
- EXIT NOW!
Middle child of the day:
Robert from the musical "Company"
"My parents didn't love me and didn't pay attention to me, so I have an entire musical number dedicated to sining about my inability to have any sort of romantic relationship."
this is the wrong Robert but it's amusing so...
And now for the daily update: JESS WOULDN"T WAKE UP THIS MORNING
It really stressed Elena out
we set our alarms for 7, but then like NO ONE was awake
so we sorta just laid in bed
at 7;30 Elena got stressed and did most of her getting ready things - Jess was still sleeping
Kaitlyn came out to leave for work at 8:22 - Jess was still sleeping
- Please note - Elena tried to wake Jess up 3 times... all of them failed
This was a very stressful time for her
However, Jess did get up and get ready in five minutes (i.e. she didn't get dressed and just shoved all of her things in her bag, she later got dressed in the bathroom of a gas station)
That's okay.
WE WENT TO WALMART
We bought Jess bread
and a tomato
and Jess found Stranger Things pizza
so exciting
WE left the Walmart
What a time
We saw another sign for Buc-ee's
much to the distress of Jess
I'm going slowly because of the Buc-ee's sign - it's distracting
To be fair, they are terrible signs
We were just vibing in the car
when 'Love is an Open Door' came on
naturally
we sang along...
DUET STYLE
We feel the need to point out every boat we see
we do it often
it's good
After a while of driving
we arrived in Florida
We stopped at a rest stop for lunch
it was 3:00...
sorry we can't keep a schedule
we're middle children and we have issues (but you already know that)
All was well with the world
we ate
it was fine
and then Jess went to the bathroom
Elena went to go put things away in the car
And then
There were screaming birds
these small, screaming fluffballs tried to eat my shoe laces, they were just chilling on my sneakers - what do I do with this...
So like, they were just chilling
Jess came back and was like "what are you doing?"
Elena goes "I think I became a mother??"
We put the birds back in their nest (we think it got knocked out of the tree by wind) but at least the tiny screaming baby birds were okay and not in the parking lot
Trauma
WELCOME TO FLORIDA
Right after this event
Elena proceeded to choke on water
She is fine, just incapable of drinking water
We also sort of forgot that we needed to get gas because of the birds
and so we went and did that
Can someone PLEASE explain to me why all the people that live near water are
just
OBSESSED with YATCHTS??
like I just don't get it
What's so appealing about owning an expensive small boat?
Anyways
when we actually got around to taking pictures
there was a storm rolling in
We got about 30 minutes in before the lighting started
and by the time we pulled into our Airbnb
IT'S POURING
but only during the time that we needed to get things out of the car
we are soggy
We are going to Miami tomorrow
yay
Now we are sleeping
Carrying around a blanket is useful
use it for warmth, for comfort
or to knock other people on their butts
