The Saturday that was supposed to be fun.

by Chantelle - 10:42 PM

I don't like when plans change. Especially when they're plans that I was looking forward to. But sometimes, it happens. Like last night when my plans for today were cancelled. I woke up this morning angry. I don't get angry very easily, and it's a weird feeling. Especially when you're angry with someone you normally aren't. Mostly though, I think I was disappointed.

Doing nothing is hard for me, so instead of staying home and watching sad movies and moping, and seriously considering the consumption of unhealthy amounts of ice cream, I went for a walk. I left the house at 11:30. And I walked. I walked to my Aunt Shauna's house. Then I walked to the antique store where the man was working instead of the cute antique store lady and yelled at me not to touch anything. Then I walked past some garage sales. Then I walked downtown to the mall. I tried on dresses to cheer me up, but it wasn't a good dress day. I went to Starbucks, and that was good, but I was still kinda sad.

Then I decided to do something crazy. I was already downtown, so why not walk all the way to the university across the coulees? It was something I had once considered, but never given any serious thought to. Maybe I didn't believe I could do it or it would take too long, but I had time today. So I started walking again, trying to forget how mad I was.

(I apologize. I know this is inappropriate, but EVERY time I see this sign, I giggle. Like, how funny would it be teaching a kid with a speech impediment their address if they lived there? Hehe.)
