Got up at 7:30 a.m. because my parents were going to call—I didn’t think it was an emergency because Scott said they didn’t sound upset on the phone last night. They wanted to ask whether they should visit later this month or next April. Like I care when it’s 4:30 a.m. West Coast time and I haven’t acclimated to the East Coast yet. Whatever. I tried to go back to sleep and failed.

Sarah and I did some shopping today; I got a bunch of paranormal romances at a used bookstore, which is cool. Picked Fiona up from school. Ate dinner at a pizza-and-pasta buffet. Watched Styx videos. Sarah and Scott had to watch Big Brother so I worked on e-mail. I can’t get any of the local numbers to dial up, dammit, so I can’t stay online long with the CA number. Grrr. Done now, though, and back to Styx videos!
