troll boogers

Spent a lot of the day dozing in the car. I think I was in the car more than out of it, actually.

I thought I had slept in, when actually I got up at 8am. Hard to tell how much you have been sleeping when the bed is uncomfortable. Hot cocoa while I looked at Sister Wendy. Mum and Deanne picked up garbage from the shore.

Left Pulali Point at 9:30am. Napped a little bit on the way home. Showered. Put a pretty face on.

Then out the door, towards, Bainbridge, and off to Seattle to see Nathan's whatever thingy at the symposium for under graduate stuff at University of Washington. We missed the ferry my minutes, so I put my feet up and took a nap. The ferry ride went quick, as I pretty much slept through it all and woke up on the way to the parking garage. Mom and Dad bickered about parking. Their bickering puts me on edge and that doesn't make me the warmest person to be around.

Nathan didn't tell us his presentation was at noon, right when it started. We thought any old time would be good. So we missed the main meat. His board was impressive. Well it had impressive words and a long two line title. Didn't have much to add to the matter, so I wandered around looking at the bad, poorly labeled art on the walls. I saw a classmate from Olympic College. He grew a mustache.

Nathan, Rubie, and Chad went off to Tacoma to meet about the Italy whatever, and Ma, Pa, and myself went to Dick's Drive In! Burgers, fries, and milk shake oh my! Then we went to the Fremont Bridge Troll. Whoo! Never been before.

Dad insisted we try to find the Scandinavian Bakery. Unfortunately it was closed for business. Got to the ferry and parked for the 5:30 to Bremerton. I stuck around in the car, and mom and dad went out and about. They came back with Averie! Who was headed out on the other ferry. Wonderful to see my cousin. Whooo!

Then we got on the ferry, and I dozed for the ride, and continued napping all the way back to Seabeck. Had some dinner. Watched the season finale of Community. Now to get a good night sleep, and do something tomorrow. Maybe.

nugget of love

Actually did something today!

Got up bright and early at 9:30 to go to Pulali with mom and her buddy Deanne. I packed a little heavy because there was the possibility I might stay an extra night with Celia.

It was a nice ride over. Read bits of Sister Wendy’s 1000 Masterpieces. What an adorable little art loving nun she is. We three stopped for snacks and candy at the Quilcine general store. I got Gobstoppers, Nerds, Now & Laters, and sunflower seeds.

It was windy and cold at Pulali. Right after arriving, I went to Celia’s to borrow some socks. She got her swimsuits from Zappos. Nice looking suits. Totally flattering. Borrowed wooly socks and a nice tank that provided a surprisingly warm layer. So bloomin’ cold and windy. Not fun at all. Where is summer? I had all these delusions of swimsuits and swimming. Not happening.

Nice to see Celia. Been so long. The cabin is looking awesome and her garden is coming along.

Saw auntie Kirie and Uncle Mark as well. Caught up over tea. It was nice to talk about the stresses of this semester with two aunts who have been there. It has been really rough and I’ve been trucking along pretty well. The trials of these past couple months have really enabled me to appreciate the wonderful friends and support base that I have. I’ve never felt less alone in my life.

Anyway. After Kirie’s I went out with Ma and Deanne. We went to Whitney’s Nursery. Checked out the rhododendrons and the plants. Mom picked out a couple and bought some soil. We visited Grandma and Grandpa Pedersen’s gravestone, which has a garden planted on top of it. The soil was added to the plants mom has planted. It is a nice graveyard. Small, with lots of random decorations and plants.

The Bunnell gravesites caught our eye.

Next was a minihike to the Rocky Something Waterfall. Really beautiful.

Returning home I took a long long nap. Just got really tired. I don’t have the energy that I used to.

Upon waking, I found it was dinner time! Celia brought over rice and chicken, and we also had chicken. And a wide assortment of vegetables, like corn and a medley of stuff, and this steamed green thing. Such a lovely healthy meal to get totally stuffed on. And Celia made cookies! Her basmati rice was perfection.

After dinner, we looked through this Brinnon history book to find out about the Bunnell’s. There were tons of interesting people in the book. One daughter was named Nugget Bell, not a Bunnell girl, just an interesting name. There were tales of Ma Hjelvik and various shenanigans. It wasn’t the best written of books, but dang there is a lot of history.

We settled in for some Uno and PBS. We caught the last fifteen minutes of Doc Martin and a choppy signal episode of Poirot. Good ol’ Belgian detective. So smart. And now it is time to lounge in bed, read a little, and get up bright and early. The weather is no good, so I’m not staying an extra night. I’ll be back.

guess what, I did nothing

Spending more and more time in bed in the morning. Didn't get out till the after noon mark.

Dad went into town for most of the day, so spent a lot of time multitasking...on the internet. Tomorrow I am going to Pulali Point for the night, so that will be good. See Celia.

It was windy and horribly rainy all day. Boo! I want summer, not this spring crap.

Ate calzone for dinner. Didn't like it much. Watched a bunch of episodes of Community with mum.

Gotta start sketching soon or something. Yeah.

guess it crawled up the water spout...

Woke up and found a spider in my bed. Quickly vacuumed that sucker up.

Another lazy day. It was very windy.

Helped dad haul wood to the burn pile.

Lasagna and salad for dinner. Mmm.

Watched Glee with Ma and Pa. Then Lost! Can't believe Lost is finishing in just a few days.

Can't really think of much else to say. Not really up to much these days. Just stick around at home, playing around on the computer.

rest, precious rest

I slept a lot today. Didn't sleep in so much, but I took a long nap in the afternoon.

Cheerios and hot cocoa and an apple for breakfast, followed by some Doctor Who with Dad.

Sort of wasted time. Uhm. Yeah.

Watched Community with mom later on. And House.

Still in semester recovery mode.
