Got me the GOOD sleeping last night. I went to bed around 11, woke up at 4, but managed to fall back until 6:45. Yay me! I was up super early yesterday and needed it. Ironically, B got in bed 30 minutes before I got up yesterday. They went to bed a little cranky and I don't blame them. So let's back up first to what happened to them.

They have been trying as I mentioned, to solidify the new friendship. Which means agreeing to things that are slightly outside their comfort zone. I get that. We want to make new friends so we do things we don't normally do. Understandable. Well, the original communication was "let's meet up at 9" as I explained yesterday. I also mentioned they didn't get to their destination until 11:30. The follow up to that is they were only there a short time before one person wants food, another wants something else, etc, etc. Plus B was at the mercy of another driver which I hate too. If I want to go, I want to be able to go. I do feel for them, but their choices.

Me, I got up at 4, ready to leave here at 6:20, got gas. I arrived at about 6:40 at the same parking lot as before but this time there were TWO cars in it, not 200. The person I was meeting? TWO minutes later pulls in next to me. YES! That's what I respect. We spent about 2 hours walking around. I will say that this time I went a little too early as not everyone was setup and ready, but what a difference in the crowd. So much more relaxed and calm. I could tell as we were leaving that things were pretty setup. End result, the sweet spot for arrival is about 8:30-9, out of there by 11. I am very pleased with myself for doing this experiment and determining this. Now I can go with confidence any time in the future and know what to expect. Good for me. 

So what did I get? All sorts of stuff. Bread, cheese, meat, a plant, produce, mushrooms, jerky, and perogies. Yep. I scored. I came home and made mushroom soup. Took a nap. Played video games. B had to go to her grandparent's because all the grandkids were coming over for the day. I got out of that thank you. We had a quiet relaxing evening. Had meat and cheese plates from what I got at the market. 

No plans for today. I may rearrange my office back. But that's about it.
