i just really wanted to write today's date in the format i had to get used to while in europe where the day comes before the month before the year...
today was a big day. i woke up at 6:30 in omaha, where i had driven to yesterday from minneapolis/st paul to visit my sister kayla (and her boyfriend casey by default, who is now a proud owner of a ginormous tv). by 7:15 this morning i was on my way out of omaha towards parkston, where i arrived at 11:00. daddy changed the oil in my car, we loaded up the recycling from home into my vehicle, and i headed up to mitchell, where i met mom on her lunch break before heading to renew my license.
i now have a fancy new drivers license. which required not just birth certificate (or passport in my case) and soc security card but two bills/statements with your address to prove that i am a south dakotan. which i totally am. which i can prove by showing off my fancy new license
after doing a bit o' shoppin' in mitchell. i bought a pretty green purse and some new scarves (cause i like scarves...).
i also bought some purple windshield washer fluid that is both deicer, since it is october and winter is approaching, so i figured i should splurge and get fluid that will not freeze until -25 degrees F. plus it's a repellent of some of the yuck that will inevitably end up on my windshield.
said good-bye to momma, then i took off down the road and saw my dear friend megan, who has been released from the hospital after quite a scare. was really good to catch up with her since we seldom manage to see each other. it seems like each time i try to visit she gets sick. not a good sign...
then i began my last leg of driving back to the twin cities and school. made it back and am exhausted and ready for bed.
nothin like spending a solid 10 hours on the road today (6 yesterday) and covering 4 states on what should have been a reading day...cause i got midterms to finish up...
