it’s crazy how many memories i’ve completely lost, having ceased to do my journals consistently for over a year. i regret it. i wish i just kept going. a big part of the reason i stopped writing them was because i felt i couldn’t be honest about some things in my life, but i’m in a different place now and am not afraid to be open about those things anymore.
essentially i’m saying i’m glad to be back.
sebastien came home at close to five in the morning, crashing about then loudly vomiting then crawling into bed and stealing all my blankets. such a pleasant man.
i woke only a few hours after that because my mom, astra and i were headed to the lake! sebastien was thinking of attending but when he opened his eyes to the world’s worst headache he reconsidered and stayed in bed. so the girl-mobile took off for coquitlam around ten, stopping to grab a&w breakfast along the way, and made it to the beautiful lake at no later than quarter to eleven.
we spread out a blanket in the grass, suntanned and chatted, and then floated around the lake on the floaties my mom brought. it’s nice to spend time with astra and my family together - we’re so close at this point that it was bizarre that my parents didn’t know her better. i started to feel a little bit sick while we were bobbing around out there, though, so we came back to dry land and i drank some water in an attempt to feel better but it didn’t help much.
thankfully we hadn’t planned on staying all that much longer anyhow, so we got into the car and headed toward ikea. we had to stop once because i felt like i was going to be sick (thankfully i didn’t!), but we made it to the land of sweden in good time and the air conditioning in there helped me feel less nauseous :) we wandered around and i ultimately decided on a smaller cabinet for my room, which i’m realizing now that i’m much happier with than i would have been had i purchased the original one. yay for things being out of stock, i suppose! we had an ice cream from the cafe there and then drove back to my place, where my mom hung out with us briefly until sebastien drove her home so we could keep her car.
(oh, yeah, probably worthwhile to mention that the honda accord has finally died. rest in peace, little tank :( so lately we’ve been borrowing my mom’s car since we don’t have one.)
astra and i laid in bed and played animal crossing for a few hours while i felt increasingly more ill and achy. she went home around eight and i laid around while sebastien made me dinner and took care of me, more or less. i dragged my sorry, gross carcass to bed around ten thirty and slept like a rock.
i think i just got too much sun, to be honest.
