Stepping into the shower was the best decision of the day. The last couple days of work were a tad hard on me. My feet were screaming at me & I'm so glad that the weekend is here & later today I'll be off to D.C! I'm beyond excited & it'll be a much needed break after the week I had a work.
I turned the shower hotter & relaxed my sore muscles in the steam; it felt amazing. I spent a good half hour in the shower before the hot water subsided & I decided to get out. I dressed for the day/trip & made my way downstairs & to the kitchen.
I rummaged in the fridge for what I wanted to eat for breakfast but nothing sounded appealing. I went & searched the pantry before deciding on oatmeal. I took my oatmeal & juice outside to the garage where i knew my mom would be as she was setting up more stuff for her garage sale.
"Hey mom." I set my bowl & glass on the table.
"Good morning. Did you sleep well?" She sat down at the table & lit up a cigarette.
"Yeah, pretty good. Especially considering I'm so excited for D.C! I must've been exhausted from work & just passed out soon after I got home."
"Probably for the best, you have a decent length road trip ahead of you."
"That I do. I'm really glad I'm not the one driving though." I laughed & took a sip of my juice.
My phone buzzed & I checked my messages; of course it was from Harry. I smiled down at my phone & scanned over his message.
Good morning sweetheart.
Hey :-) Good morning to you too. How are you today?
I'm pretty good, gotta go in to work after bit. You excited for D.C?
Yes, I'm very excited :-)
That's great. Take pictures for me?
Sure, anything in particular?
Is that a loaded question? Lol. Just stuff you find interesting.
Well, sometimes I find myself interesting ;-) Does that count?
Ha-ha, that definitely counts.
Harry & I went on texting about my trip to D.C & just getting to know more about each other. While I was simultaneously helping mom with the garage sale. We had quite a bit of stuff we were trying to sell. Several tables lined the side of our garage & we had a handful more outside on the pavement. Lot's of shoes & old clothes of mine that I outgrew & some school uniforms from when I was in high school.
Time passed by rather quickly, because before I knew it, I was making my way upstairs to pack up my belongings for the trip. It was only a weekend so I was just packing two outfits & hygienics. As I was zipping up my bag, I received a text from my brother; Ethan.
On our way to get you.
Okay, cool.I'm already packed & ready.Before I left my room, I slipped on my flip flops & grabbed my purse. I made my way down the stairs & back out into the garage.
"Hey. You all packed & ready?" Mom asked as she brought out more boxes fom the back porch.
"Yep. Ethan just texted me to let me know they're on their way."
Mom sat down & started going through some of the boxes; separating & sorting. She also went over the basic check list with me to make sure I didn'f forget anything. She was going to go over it a second time, but I was saved by a car horn.
