We woke up a bit later at the hotel. I was in a ton of pain again from the mattress. We packed up our things and got ready to check out. On the way out, the owner asked how we’d slept. I let her know the mattress was extra firm and I hadn’t slept well on it, and she said they used to have pillow tops but people complained about them not being firm enough. Why not have a bit of a mixture? Idk.
We headed to my parents’ house and had breakfast with them before hitting the road. We stopped in Appleton at Kwik Trip for fuel and a car wash before getting some lunch at Chick-Fil-A. I was pleasantly surprised that they had mac & cheese, which is what Casey wanted. Afterward, we went back into Kwik Trip to use the bathroom and then headed toward home. I wanted to stop about half an hour from home so I could use the bathroom, but Casey said he didn’t have to go so I didn’t stop.
By the time we got home, we both were bursting to use the bathroom. I had Casey hurry and go first while I brought stuff in from the van. Then I took my turn.
I asked Casey if he wanted to stay with me or go stay at Dave’s. He said he wanted to stay with daddy so he could go to work with him the next day. So he got a few things ready to take over there and we headed there.
I went back home for a bit until I decided to run to Family Dollar to look around. I grabbed a few things and headed back home for the night.
I sent Brad a text but didn’t hear anything from him. I hadn’t texted him while we’d been out of town the 2 nights so I was surprised when I didn’t get a response to my text.
I got on Black Desert and played around on there until I was ready for bed. Then I quickly checked Fallout 76 to see if there were new freebies in the shop. I grabbed a couple things then headed to bed.
On Friday, I got up and got some coffee while the computer booted, then took care of my free book & paid emails before getting on Black Desert. I played on there throughout the day, doing the life skilling tasks.
In the afternoon, Dave called and asked if I wanted him to drop Casey off at my apartment or if I wanted to go pick him up. I said he could drop him off, and for some reason felt inclined to clean my door off since it was the only thing dirty in the apartment. Why does he still have that effect on me, that I feel like I need to clean the place for him?? I guess it’ll take time for me to recover from all the trauma, including being made to feel like I was nothing more than a live-in maid.
The short visit went ok, he was only really condescending once. He didn’t seem to think it was a bad place, just talked down to me a bit about making sure the heater gets fixed because it’s leaking water onto Casey’s bedroom floor.
He headed home and I returned to Black Desert while Casey got on a game on his Switch. I made him some mac & cheese for dinner, then started a bath for him. While he was in the bath, I heard the door close. I went in a while later to use the restroom, but he was sitting on the toilet. He’d clogged it. I’d have to run to Dave’s and grab the plunger he said I could have.
Casey packed a bunch of stuff into his backpack and I told him he didn’t need to since we’d be right back, but he told me he’d changed his mind and that he missed the kitties too much and wanted to stay with Dave. I was very disappointed since I wouldn’t see him for the following 2 nights due to work. I explained to him that I may not see him until Monday because I had to work and he said he just wanted to stay with Dave because he missed Stormy and Max. I grabbed his suitcase out of his closet and we headed over to Dave’s.
I grabbed the plunger, a white drawer cabinet of mine, and the case of coke I’d left behind and headed back home. I took a quick shower and then I got back on Black Desert for the night.
I sent Brad another text but again didn’t hear anything. I ended up just going to bed.
