Denver Trip
Day 3
8-20-08
I love vacations, even when I have to wake up at 6:30 in the
very, very AM. Today I have my doctors’ appointment at the Women’s Center for
an annual exam I’ve put off for a couple of years. The doctors’ office is close
to mom’s work, so she is going to take me on her hour lunch break. Which of
course means I had to come to work with her. I could not find a internet
connection so I grabbed disk 3 of the second season of Gilmore Girls and am
having a small marathon in a corner empty desk. I’ve had 1.5 cups of coffee so
far and a single bite of Slim-Fast Optima Chewy Granola Chocolate Chip Bar. I’ve
only had one bite because my stomach immediately rejected that single bite and
there’s not much chance of me eating anymore unless I become starved. (Which
might happen cause, I don’t think mom planned food in this day, lol!) I might
have her drop me off at the mall after the doctors’ appt. Yummm, over priced food
court pizza…every mall has that right??? One can hope.
The visit was the best one I have had, ever. From now on I have to come to CO once a year for this exam. We ate burgers down in the hospital cafeteria, my Turkey, Bacon Cheeseburger and fries were delicious. Mom dropped me off at the mall where I found the pizza area and grabbed what looked to be a supremely delicious pepperoni/olive pizza, looks can be deceiving. I hate to say it, but this mall was boring. There was not a single place that sold DVD’s or CD’s, and the only electronic store was Radio Shack, I won’t even go into that store as everything is twice the cost it should be. So I found a place to get a 20 minute massage for $20, it felt great! I decided to go for a walk and ended up walking crossing four six lane roads (at the stop lights) and taking a bridge over a highway before finding myself at Mom’s place of work. I may have taken one wrong turn at some point too. But I made it, in thirty minutes no less.
As a person, Mom’s boss is very nice. I may have jumped on
him for turning off the air conditioning a little after I arrived because I was
still hot from my walk. The sun IS a mile closer after all, and even though I pretty
much walk everywhere I can walk to, I still get hot. We had great conversations
about school and getting through it and what to do after ward. He told me that
I needed to come live in Colorado. A woman mom does not like came in and
accused me of being my mom’s replacement. I rolled my eyes. Then it was time to
go.
The trip back did not seem to take nearly as long as it did
yesterday. Of course I was not feeling sick either. We stopped at King Soopers
for a few provisions before making our way the few blocks back to the house. I
made a pizza and we lay in bed eating it while watching Eureka, then mom went
to bed and I went on to watch Dead Zone, Ghost Hunters International and something
else that was so unimpressive apparently, that’s I’ve forgotten what it was!
