I left work early today because Meredith had a 4:00 doctor's appt. Mer had told me not to park in the small lot right in front of the school because the buses would be pulling in around the time I picked her up. I got there a bit early and I went ahead and parking in that lot anyway, figuring there should be room to get by the buses parking in the front circle. What I didn't realize was that the buses not only park around the little circle, th ey also park through the small lot. So, by the time I came back out I was completely blocked in with no hope of getting my car out in time for the doctor's appt. Being the utterly delusional person that I am, I decided that the doctor's office was only about a mile (or maybe a tiny bit more) away - we could walk!

This is where the little part of my brain that understands that fat & utterly out of shape + distance walking = a bad idea should have piped up. No such luck.

So, we walked. Eventually I had to send Meredith on ahead of me because my legs from the knee down were killing me. I practically did the Tim Conway shuffle into the doctor's office when I finally got there. It was oh so sad. Pathetic, even.

My plan once I realized that walking and I were not great friends was to have James pick us up on his way home from work, but the appointment didn't take very long. We'd have had to wait another 45 minutes for James to arrive. So, we walked home. Home is closer than the school, so I just waited for James to get home so he could drive me up to get my car. Occasionally I am really dumb.

Tonight I had dinner at Becky and Manny's and helped clean up their house for the baby shower this weekend. It seemed only fair since I have to 'host' it at their place. My house just couldn't hold all the people Becky invited, not to mention it's not exactly sparkling clean either. Lugging Becky's friggin' Kirby vacuum around was not fun, though. Especially after all the exercise I'd already gotten. It was nice to hang out with them, though. It seems like forever since the days where we all got together several times a week.

Manny is the first RL person I've allowed to read my fics. He seemed to sincerely like them, and he told me that I really needed to update Anniversary. *snort*

We've heard from some of Mer's acquaintances that Tyler (the guy being charged with stalking her) made bail and skipped back down to Georgia. Since he's only charged with misdemeanors, VA probably will not pursue him unless he's caught back in this state. Meredith is understandably upset, and I'm pretty peeved myself. If he doesn't show up for court, I'll break into full-on pissed.
