Miss you

I'm plodding through my biostats assignment now. It's not nearly as confusing as the first. Most of the problems are taken directly from the book so that helps. I don't think there will be as many complaints come Monday morning...

I went to Spiceland Mall Friday and Sat morning. Vast difference between the two days. Friday morning the store seemed to have more empty and bare shelves than stocked. I have never seen a store so empty before. It was like someone had just randomly gone through the store and *poofed* away items leaving bare holes everywhere. So I went back Sat morning and what a difference. They had gotten a shipment in Friday afternoon and they seemed to have used the time well in restocking. It was nice going to the store and them having almost everything in stock. I was able to buy pretty much everything I needed and some things I prob didn't need but got because I will never know when I'll see that item again. Shopping is so expensive. But I didn't spend too much time there, and of that I was pleased. I like to be in and out within an hour if I'm not shopping with someone. There's no point really in dilly-dallying when there's no one to spend the time dilly-dallying with. So zip-zip all done.



This store is kind of like a Walmart with misc items from houseware, tools, etc.


Went to Paul and Kate's again today. Lady greeted me not with barking but with playful excited yips and she was bounding up and down wanting to play outside, so I indulged her for a bit. That was fun, and cool that she was excited to see me. I was excited to see her too. She makes me miss my dogs, Faith and Hope, less and more in ways. Less because I can play with her and hug her and she's a great dog so she fills in well for Faith and Hope, but.. she's not Faith or Hope, so seeing her often reminds me of them back at home and I wonder if maybe they've forgotten me or if they miss me. I told my bro to give them each a hug from me ^_^

I got to talk to my mom twice today on the phone. That was really nice. I spoke with her in the afternoon and we had great reception and a good convo. After I got back from Paul and Kate's my mom called again. This time the reception was not so good, so it was a bit frustrating because it kept cutting out so that you couldn't even get the general gist of what was being said. But it was nice just that my mom called, and it made me miss home. I'm not really home sick or anything, but I do miss my mom. It's only when I think of my mom back home or when I tell her before I hang up that I love her and she tells me she loves me that my throat kind of gets tight and my eyes start to tear up and I have to swallow (don't know why that is). And I guess it's also because in part we don't talk on the phone everyday. I think if we did, it wouldn't be as special as when yay, Mommy's going to call! Love you, Ma!
