The Saturday that was supposed to be fun.

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.)
(I had bike envy.)
(I have never been so happy to see the University in my life.)
It was long and hot, and by the time I got to the other side and halfway up the coulee I started to feel dizzy, but I did it. So there. Ha. 11.7 km.
But I'm still kinda upset, and I don't know why. Hugs required? Quite possibly.
Also, I apologize for the rambling and fragmented sentences.
