*Exercise*

does it count at all as exercise to have done 50 jumping jacks and a few sit-ups and leg lifts while watching Midnight in Paris and before eating M&Ms?

I have a headache. I think it's the lack of stimulation, which is exactly what I wanted, but still...a bit boring. Mom just went to bed, and so I should try to go to bed soon too. Hmm. It reminds me of that old Seinfeld episode where he goes to visit his parents in Boca and they go to the early bird dinner at like 3 p.m. for the discount and run into all their friends, and the place is freezing, and they go to bed at like 8 and wake up at like 5. not so different...but MY mom's cool...she's just getting over having had the pneumonia. How are things there? Lonely without me? Oh yes, that's what I thought. Such a pity. just kidding. So, I realized today that I'm getting into Chicago Sunday morning at 5 a.m., and I figured I'd just take the train home because that would almost be rush hour. But I just realized it's a Sunday. I think it will still be fine, but maybe there will be some creepies on the train. I had to kind of lie to my mom because we went shopping and she wanted to buy me clothes, and after finding about $80 worth of stuff, she said she could pay $30, and what could I pay? hmm....well, the only money I had with me was the money to take a cab home. But I told her what I had, and we put some of the clothes away, but got the rest. Oh my god, this is like talking about cutting strawberries. Well, I've written this much...anyway, so I told her it was money to get home, but that was okay because I'd just take the train home. Well, she was very vehement that I not do that because it's not safe and so gave me $10 back and asked if that was enough for a cab. I didn't have the heart to tell her no, so I said I'd take a cab, but I'll be taking the train. I think it should be fine. Whoever is reading this: be good and take good care of yourselves because I don't want to have to worry.

I had so much fun the night before I left. I keep thinking about it off and on. No one else probably is, but I'm kind of used to thinking about things longer than most. ok, laterz.
