   Ai me.
So I'm going home soon. I've cleaned and done laundry and folded dozens of towels and sheets and made beds and taken care of small and squirmy children. My mom is still in Milpitas, while earlier was in the San Francisco getting a Chinese Visa so she could work there this summer. Annoying I know, but I had to wake up early, feed Kayla, sunscreen both of them and drive to Newark Memorial High School for their swim classes. On a happy note, I was able to make calls, and work on my tan for about 50 minutes. That and I was able to drive like a maniac. The fun of course didn't start until later.

Turns out there was a short power outage that took out the automatic garage door opener, so I had to parallel park a minivan on the street, which was rather difficult if I do say so myself, not because I'm awful at it, but because I've been driving a car the size of a shoe box for the past five years. Oh well. I managed anyway, not that the kids were very helpful. So then we realized that we couldn't open the fridge while the power was out for the sake of keeping things cold, so I sliced apples, pulled out chips and fish crackers and told them to drink tap water. Annoying I know, but just as I was reaching for the box of candles, the power surged back on and I had to run around, resetting clocks. Whatever.

So then after chips with salsa and apples with freshly sliced cheese, we've been doing nothing much. I've been vegging on the computer, mom called and said she'd be home an hour ago but I'm not in much faith over that. The good news is that I'm not wanted at Berkeley until 4 this afternoon. I'm glad about that because I have no faith in my mom coming home on time. My grandma is with her so I'm not expecting anything short of total disaster. Around 9 I'm similarly booked, but whatever, it'll happen when it happens. I'm in no major rush and the traffic is relatively light. It should take me half an hour for both ways. Maybe more on the way down because I'm planning on the return around 8:30, which won't be horrific I don't think. We will see in the end, now won't we?

Whatever, I'm ready to go back and pack when I'm needed. And I move out roughly June 30th, then go out with a friend later.
