Heyyyyyy everyone and TGIF! So yesterday I was having a really rough day and the last thing that I wanted was to be at home with all of the people causing me a lot of stress. So I asked my trusty best friend Kate if she wanted to hang out, but unfortunately she had class. BUT she offered for me to come stay at her apartment while she was gone which I happily agreed to. I packed up my copy of Coraline to read and was on my way to her place within three minutes – that’s how much I wanted to get out of the house. Once I got there I curled up in a blanket on Kate’s couch and started to tell my sob story and almost instantly started crying. Kate was on tissue patrol, bless her soul, and was up from her chair, ran to the bathroom, and returned with a box of tissues in under thirty seconds. It was really impressive. After some quality cuddling and advice from my soul mate, I was already feeling better. Kate was then off to class, leaving me in her living quarters for an hour and a half or so. I opened up Coraline, which I’ve read countless times but never have a problem rereading and devoured one hundred pages by the time Kate returned. While I was reading I couldn’t stop thinking about how good it felt to be in a nice, quiet apartment with no distractions. No screaming, no yelling, no crying, no nothing. It was AMAZING. I seriously can’t remember the last time that I had peace and quiet while reading – my bedroom at home is right above from the kitchen and living room so all of the noises travel to my room and I can hear everything perfectly. There’s legitimately no escaping the blaring of a TV or raised voices in my house. It’s absolutely miserable. Now that I know how nice it is to have a quiet spot to just curl up and open a book it makes me sad that I don’t have it…but Kate has told me countless times that I’m always more than welcome to stay at her place whenever I need, and I think I’m going to start taking her up on that. Once Kate got home we decided to do a little shopping, so we drove to Target (our favorite!) to browse and to pick up some white girl essentials that Kate needed – AKA a coffee pot, black leggings, and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. Our night ended with a trip to Taco Bell, but for the first time in my entire life I didn’t order anything to eat. I’ve been so stressed and miserable lately that I can’t bring myself to stomach anything. I feel hungry and full at the same time, but when I think about eating it makes me nauseous. But I couldn’t NOT get something, so I ordered a Baja Blast Freeze as a treat since I never order anything to drink when I go to TBell. On our way back to Kate’s apartment we saw a raccoon without a tail wandering around the streets and laughed about nothing and everything and for a while I couldn’t even remember why I was upset in the first place. I went back home feeling much better than I did before, and I am SO thankful that I have such an amazing best friend who’s always willing to help a bitch out in her time of need. So this ones for you, Kate! I love you!
