For the past week, I have only been sleeping in three hour intervals. Work from 10pm to 7am. Come home. Sleep from 10am to 1pm. Wake up. Hang out with Steve and fall asleep from 3pm and wake up at 7pm while Steve sleeps until 9. It's just been cut and go. Steve sleeps like a rock when he sleeps. I can't stay down during the day. Oh, there's a scratch on the door. Oh, someone's coming home. Oh, the sun is unusually brighter today than yesterday. Oh, someone's watching a movie in the living room. All these little things wake me up. While Steve just cruises on through them.
So this weekend was catch-up, right? Friday, Steve had to work. He was asked to come in and do overtime. So he did. I drove him to work and told him to call me to pick him up. He called at 2am after I'd gone to bed at 11pm. Another three hours. Somehow, all the cards in his wallet fell out and he wanted to buy lunch. So I got up to deliver his cards to him. As I was leaving, I heard Steve and Brandy from their bedroom say, "She's awake. She's leaving. Ask her."
They stop me as I'm exiting my room. "Maaaaaac? We were wondering if you could take us to Walmart."
I was shocked, "At two o'clock in the morning?"
"Pleeeease? He's drunk as shit and he needs work pants for tomorrow."
I was confused, but I mean, I was heading there anyways. So I agree and they all follow me to Walmart. I get to Walmart and give Steve his cards and have lunch/breakfast/dinner with him. The other two go about shopping at two in the morning. Eventually, Steve's lunch is over and it's time to head home. I grab Steve and Brandy and head out. We're driving home and Steve shouts, "WHAT ABOUT MCDONALD'S?!" I ask what about McDonald's. He says, "That's what the deal was. I'd buy you food for driving us here!"
"But I'm not hungry."
"GO TO MCDONALD'S!"
So I drive to McDonald's. No one's answering the drive-thru. We drive up to the window after waiting a couple minutes. There's people in there, but they're ignoring us. Finally a man comes up to us and I ask if they're still open. He told me they're resetting for breakfast. Brandy is having like a mini-fit over int he passenger sit and I thank the man and drive away. So now we go to Burger King. We order our stuff and then pull up to the window. All Brandy has is a $100 bill. I look at her and say, "You're making me the most hated person to drive-up windows, aren't you?" So I hand the man a $100 and he says he can't break it. I look back at everyone and he says, "Hang on," and takes the $100 and goes back. He returns and give us $21.73 in change. I look at the change knowing this was wrong, but double checking in my brain so I don't look like an idiot and ask for more change back and actually be wrong.
I hand the money to Brandy and she doesn't say anything... after a minute, I mention, "Don't you need more change than that?"
She goes, "Oh my god! I can't believe he shorted me this much!"
Steve in the back seat goes, "THAT'S IT!" and he gets out of the car. Brandy gets out of the car and starts screaming at him. Finally they both get back in the car and the guy comes back and we bring it to his attention. He was embarrassed and gave us the correct change and our food. Finally we left and we went home. Well I ate my Burger King and was on the computer. Once I get on the computer, I'm kind of here for a while. So I was on the computer until about 6. Then Steve called at 7. I woke up and picked Steve up and came back home. We showered and prepared to go to this breakfast in the park.
About a week ago, some kids stopped by our house and asked if we wanted to buy tickets sponsoring little league. I bought a ticket from each kid. A couple days later, another kid came by and was selling tickets. So I bought some. By the time I was all done buying tickets, I had 6. So we invited everyone to breakfast with us. So Steve and I were trying to go to breakfast. I texted everyone and only Mike responded. So Mike, Steve, and I all went to breakfast. Not only that, but that day was the day of the Rapture. So I brought a set of clothes to leave in the park as if someone had been raptured. We ate breakfast and laid our clothes out and left to the comic book store. Oh the hours I could spend there. Finally we ended up driving home and going to sleep. Except we play D&D at 4. So we only slept for about another 3 hours.
We gamed until 8 and finally went to sleep. I've pretty much been asleep since. So that goes to say, I am well rested. For once. And now I have to go back to work tonight and head off to the doctor's tomorrow. So I suppose I'll finish cooking dinner for Steve and head off to work.
