Day Twenty.

    It feels so good to have the power restored:) It's amazing how difficult live is without electricity! Shortly after I posted this morning my twin sister arrived because we had plans to go clothes shopping today. We spent some time talking to my Mother then she left to go back home. All in all I think I had a pretty good time with my Mom this visit....I only wish that the power hadn't been off so she could have enjoyed her stay more. I had to quickly take a shower when my sister arrived and I did a small amount of tidying up a bit. I really had to control my urge to put a load of laundry in today because I really didn't have time and I know I'm going to be alone the next three days which gives me plenty of time to get that done.
    My sister and I went to the mall and it actually wasn't that bad. I notoriously hate shopping, I think because I am really self conscious about my weight and I never know what to really buy. The main reason I went was because all my "cami-type" shirts which I wear under my real shirts have ripped. They have started to look really trashy. I found some that I liked when I tried them on at Charlotte Russe and they were only $7.50 a piece so I bought four. It's going to be impossible to know if they are going to be perfect until I wash them and wear them a few times. That reminds me of the other reason I don't really like shopping because I get really anxious about trying clothes on which other people have as well. Ugh, it really grosses me out when I think about it. Obviously I wash everything before I wear it, but you still have to try it on! I also got a few other t-shirts which I hope don't shrink in the laundry but they weren't that expensive so I won't be too upset. It was really nice spending the day with my sister:)
    We rushed home because my boyfriend was coming over and we decided to make BBQ chicken quesadillas for dinner. While I was cutting the vegetables my sister made the cake I wanted to make for my dogs fourth Birthday. I really am so lucky to have my sister because she helps me out so much! After my sister left my boyfriend and I finally had some time alone which was really needed. Unfortunately he told me that the weekend after this one, in which we were supposed to visit his brother, he has to work in the city. I was pretty upset but tried not to show it too much. I had even taken the following Monday off so we could relax a bit and not have to rush home on Sunday. I was really looking forward to getting away for the weekend and this means I won't see him that entire weekend....then of course I work the following weekend. It's hard because he's really busy at work right now, which I completely understand, but I can't help but feel very neglected. I realize now more than ever that if I want this to work I am going to have to deal with not seeing him as much as I'd like. However, I don't necessary think that spending too much time alone is a good thing for me. I should get to sleep, later!
