Second Birthday

Wax hands!

Everybody has wax hands! My cousin Jaden on the left, my mom on the right.

Today was a very busy, but very good day. My mom came into town last night, but got caught in a traffic jam and got here very late, so I didn’t see them until this morning, when I drove over to my aunt’s house where she’s staying. We futzed around for a while, and then drove into town to check out the yarn store, as my mom wanted me to knit her something (it’s not complicated, so I agreed to) and she bought the yarn for it. We also went to a bakery and got some delicious scones. After that, we went to my apartment, where the boys moved my NEW BED in! I’m not sleeping on a mattress on the floor anymore, it’s a miracle! It was free, too, my mom happened to know someone who had recently gotten married and was combining houses with her new husband (they’re both middle-aged so they had full households) and didn’t need her guest room bed anymore, since they already had their two beds, so she offered it to my mom for me (which I will be eternally grateful for).

After that, we went back to my aunt’s, futzed around some more, and had dinner. I finished a scarf I’ve been working on for myself, they washed my bedding for me, and then we all dipped our hands in wax (it’s supposed to soften them, I mostly did it for the novelty factor) and I drove home. XD Tomorrow holds more adventure, I’m sure, so I need to rest up tonight (also, I am going to pin out my scarf, it’s soaking in wool wash right now, I hope it’s dry enough for me to wear tomorrow).

It was a second birthday, because last week I was sick, and also my mom came specifically for my birthday, and we got new phones (I’m on her cel plan because she’s the person I call most)! X3 Switching back to Verizon from AT&T because their service has been shit ever since we switched to them.
