I know a lot of what we put on here is about the crazy or the fun things we get to do here. This is more the not-so-fun part of living here. Sigh.
tonight I was planning on meeting a couple girls to study together at their school. ok. fine. wasn't super excited to be honest, but I was gonna do it. I left the house quickly so I'd have time to wait for the bus. as I'm getting close to the bus stop, I turn to see the bus 24 coming up behind me. oh, and then not one, but two of the same bus. so I start to run. now, I'm pregnant, it's dark, and it's starting to rain. I really want to catch this bus though because if I don't - and especially since there were two of them - it would probably mean at least a 20 minute wait for the next one. and I don't have 20 minutes. I got so close! did it wait for me? nope. did either bus wait for me? nope. almost start to cry because I'm so frustrated. fine. I'll take a taxi. surprisingly (because of the rain), I soon found one. only to get in and realize the driver was smoking. yeah. his window was open. and mine actually worked, so I survived. as we pull up I see that not two, but three bus 24s are at the stop. seriously?
got to school, and everything was great. only one girl, but she's awesome and we had a great time studying together.
time to go home. she walked me to the stop to take the bus home. no running this time. instead we get to wait for the bus. for at least 30 minutes. in the rain. with one umbrella that started to leak. thank our good father that I really enjoy being with this girl. bus comes. i take a seat someone was trying to save for their friend after smiling and half asking if it was ok. (she did smile back and say oh!) Eric meets me at our stop with an umbrella. we walk home. my book and papers in my bag are now wet. I am so unhappy. we look at some cute baby clothes that came from our online order and settle in to watch The Biggest Loser. sigh. truly thankful I enjoy time with those girls. I will go again next week.
