Grr. Or, as B would say, gao.
Today was pretty normal--I applied for a few jobs online, read a bit (Seven Years in Tibet--so interesting!), etc. E was away at various graduation parties (she's graduating tomorrow! It's so crazy!) and Mom spent most of the day with Ray.
But then, after dinner, Mom convinced me to go with her and Ray. First we went out for ice cream, but then Ray decided to drive Mom's SUV out through the back roads to 'show us nature' i.e. cool bird and frog calls. From back paved roads, to back dirt roads, to driving across the field...and then he got it stuck in a marshy spot. We tried to push it out (Ray driving, of course), but it didn't work--and poor Mom got half-covered in mud in the process! Ray had forgotten to bring his cell phone, so he had to walk about a mile to a farmhouse to get help, while Mom and I stayed in the car (being eaten alive by bugs, because Ray decided to talk to us for ten minutes from outside the car with the door open). The nice farmer came and got us; apparently it was too dark and wet to try pulling Mom's car out, so he drove us home and Ray is saying he'll use his AAA membership to get help tomorrow.
I know that I should probably look on this as an adventure, an experience, blah blah blah, but I'm really not in the mood. I'm all itchy from bugbites and my poor sneakers are completely soaked with mud from pushing. Plus, Mom has to get up really early tomorrow so she can get to her school and help set up chairs for their graduation, and we didn't get home until after 11. Oh, and did I mention this is apparently the second time this week that he's gotten her car stuck? (I didn't know about the first time until tonight--apparently Mom was able to push it out last time.)
I really don't understand why she still hangs out with this guy...
Anyway, I'm probably going to head to bed soon. Later, all!
