Y10 D149

So I wake up to this from X1 at 2:23am:

Hey [my name], [the kid] settled in her new place tonight but her arrogant bf disrespected and blindsided me with some arrogant words. Staying in a motel .. tonight & driving home tmw. Need to talk with you about this situation. Need your imput [sic] and help bc it affects [the kid's] future. Please call as you can tmw. Thanks. She is safe but she is also hurt and I'm sick about the situation.

WTF? What did the little pimple do this time? Do I need to drive 10 hours and put a beating on someone? What the hell is going on? Yeah, this is going to be a long day.

I did very little yesterday but the one big thing I did took a weight off my back. I went to REI and looked at overhead things for the car. I have been stressing about how much will need to go in the car with us on this trip. Every time I turn around it feels like there is yet one more thing that is going to have to go with us and while the car has decent cargo space, it ain't that fucking big. So I went in and was trying to decide between a few but just couldn't visualize things. I asked them if they minded if I brought some boxes back. Which I did. I came back with a suitcase, a monitor box, and a computer box. Then I took two large backpacks off their shelves and proceeded to play tetris until I found the one I wanted. I ended up getting a Thule Force L. It was between the L and the XL but the difference in size wouldn't help me for $75. It was 2" wider on the outside and a couple of inches taller, but not in places where it would help us. We now can fit quite a bit over the car while we drive which is going to save us a lot in stress. Plus the one I got was a closeout as they are bringing out new models. I was able to get it for $438 down from $499. Any little bit helps. If everything goes right though, I am going to return it the minute we get to town. As long as it's not damaged, there's no reason they shouldn't take it back. I know that's messed up of me, but I really don't need it otherwise. I would rather have the money back.

That was my big adventure out of the house. I did some cleaning too but nothing major. Made tacos for dinner which I paid for around midnight when my bowels decided to evacuate everything. Fun times.

So yeah, I've had a rough start to the week so far.
