Woke at 8am- had to despite sleeping at something like 3am the night before. I needed to use the family car so I had to drive Mom to work. No biggie- come home, play games til about 11.10. Realize the reason I needed the car was so I could pick up my brother from the station- oh yeah, this is the first time he's come home since he got married etc. Was exciting. Anyway the rain was pouring and it was fucking freezing compared to what it's like up North. Weather was fairly miserable but w/e, gotta go get your family.
Get there, couldn't find parking, so I dump my car at a drop off point and hope nobody minds. Walk out in the rain- my brother's coach is being delayed by 15min. Fucking hell. Go back into car. I see a coach pulling in--- ohhh that must be my brother's coach. No fucking nope, was an empty coach pulling in, ready to depart. Too bad I'd already gotten out of the car a 2nd time to get soaked. Back in the car I go. See another one pull in almost as soon as I sit down- God fucking dammit. It'd be so much better if I could just sit and wait inside the station, but I felt pretty anxious about leaving my car unattended in a pick up and set off zone, specifying "no parking". Oh yeah, I haven't received a single call from my brother, and his plane was supposed to have landed in Sydney at 6am.
Anyway, gotta go and check for the 3rd time- and there they were. Thank fuck. By this time rain's pretty much pissing down from the sky relentlessly and I couldn't see for more than 10m in front of me--- foggy window, rain splash on screen, water splashing everywhere outside--- oh and some fuckers drive around in the rain without their lights on. Was not fun. Got home safely, that was good- but because I had to drive slow-ish I realized I must leave almost immediately for my orthodontist appointment.
Then I got lost on my way to the orthodontist because I took a wrong turn (couldn't read sign because of rain).
Anyway good news at the orthodontist: I can retire my bite plate. He said I didn't need to wear it last appointment, and since not-wearing it I've felt a lot better about this whole braces thing--- but then he said I might still need it at my last appointment. At least now I'm glad there's final confirmation. Too bad my next appointment is scheduled in 10 weeks, so I'm going to need to take a 7hr trip down for a 10min appointment. If that's not miserable then I don't fucking know what is.
Another long drive home- still raining. I was getting really fucking tired at this point, since I was up at 8 and I've been driving here and there for a good while. As soon as I get back--- nope fucking nope my brother wanted to go grocery shopping. Like wtf we have groceries at home? But he said he hadn't eaten, and he outright refused every kind of food I offered him (goddamn) so I took him out anyway. We go into a phone shop to get him and his wife a sim card--- I register it for prepaid and charge it with credit etc. While that happened I was like "hey why don't you go buy your stuff now, I'll stay here and do the registration". Man I regret that now- because after I finished registration I waited like 20min and I couldn't see him. I was so fucking hungry but I couldn't buy food because we were gonna eat together and sadness everywhere. Anyway I see him in Coles (supermarket) and I realize he's bought 2 toothbrushes and a whole basket of chips/ biscuits. I wanted to cry right about there.
Walk out of the supermarket- then watch my bro and his wife deliberate about what food to eat for around 10min. Decide to get sushi- at least they decide what they want pretty quickly. So we got sushi and I thought that was all G- then it turns out they actually want pizza and they want the snacks that go with the pizza and I'm just like "wow what the shit guys". Then my bro's like "heeeyyy should we just get pizza delivered and order at home" and I'm like "uh fine by me but we're already here". Then he's like "hrm what if we order in store now and then go home and get it delivered?" Like broooo do you not remember how pizza delivery works. Why wouldn't you just wait there for the 15min if you're gonna order it in store.
So yeah that's what happened. Then a further 5min of "do we want Dominoes (pizza) or do we want Pizza Hut (pizza) and then it was "what kind of pizza should we get". Like I was so fucking done with everything.
At least they went out with their friend in the afternoon, so I finally caught a break. I didn't eat the pizza because I was still feeling kinda sick from this last time I ate pizza and now I'm just turned off by the thought of pizza in general. Then it got dark and I realized I had to pick Mom up from work as well since I drove her there this morning and there's no other way for her to get home. Good stuff. After I do that she tells me we have to go pick up my sister from her dancing lessons.... so I drive more and wow goddamn I really hate driving.
Anyway now I've settled into a night of video games and feeling depressed about video games. Life is great.
