Just a quick note to say that yesterday was a rough day.
I was in a bad mood starting off my day because I drove 45 minutes to meet someone who, once again, did not show up, did not answer their phone or call or even apologize for not showing up. I am torn on whether I should scream or cry... so I did some of both.
Following this lovely start, I raced back into town to meet with Gramma. She recently purchased a laptop (so proud of her!) and needed help getting it set up and such. So, that required a bit of work yesterday and will take up a large chunk of this afternoon as well.
Annnnnd, to top the day off, I took Cory to the local leisure center to work out for a couple of hours. It was a great start - got our hot green bands of shame (as he likes to call them) and headed upstairs to do a few laps around the indoor track. I began jogging at a slow pace, but he was off - like the wind. Literally.
Omg - sweetest kid ever. He ran so incredibly fast and when he reached the turn at the other end, in his 19 year old sass, turns around and goes, "let's go turtle!" I had to laugh. He's hilarious. So as we continued doing some laps, he began to tell me that because he is "an Indian, I can actually run faster in bare feet - no shoes and no socks" - and off he went, sprinting to the end again.
However, there were two young men (probably not older than Cory) who were between Cory and I - one of whom, burst out laughing at Cory's carefree running.
To my shock, horror, awe, and pounding heart - it was my cousin.
Words cannot describe what I wanted to do to Matthew. Hopefully my temper will cool by the time Christmas rolls around and the whole family is gathered because otherwise, who knows what might happen.
A silent prayer was said last night in thanksgiving for the gift of temperance and patience - for if I had not had both of them last night, I would have mortified my dear (and stupid) cousin, right in front of his best friend and work out buddy.
