Sheila Rocks

So we listened to the concert, ate our food and met Cindy's friend Dana. We left there eventually and went to my sister's apartment. One of the girls' fathers moved the wireless network equipment and messed it all up, so I had to set it up again. I got Molly's Windows XO working finally and set up her wireless connection. I also got her updated and I installed OpenOffice(.org) on her computer. It's a wonderful MS Office alternative.

Cindy was dead tired, for good reason, so we all napped for awhile at Molly's. We eventually left and went to Subway for dinner and watched The Terminal at a cheap theatre. I didn't have any cash and Sheila said they didn't accept credit cards so I paid a $2 fee to withdraw $20 out of the ATM. We got to the theatre and they did accept credit. Cindy also didn't have any money nor did Sheila (for Cindy) so I ended up paying for her too.

The movie was good. We sat in the backrow and it wasn't slanted much, so I saw it through a lot of heads. We left there and went to Sheila's place after getting my car. We stayed the night with Sheila.

Sheila and I went to the store in the morning to get syrup and homefries. We made breakfast and hung out for a bit. Eventually we left Binghamton for Seneca Falls at 2. We took 71 up to 90 and over to Waterloo. We got to my mom's around 4. Nola and Alex were just hanging out, so we watched a movie. Her other friends came over and we all made pasta for dinner while Cindy slept. Alex overcooked the angelhair pasta and I kept raggin on him. :)

We all went out to Knapp winery and had dessert because Nola's friend Aaron gets a discount of 33% off and he said it'd be great. So we went there, sat down at a nice outdoor patio and all ordered. It was fancy dessert, each $7. Eww, expensive stuff. But we ordered and Aaron went outback and made our food. We also got some bread. The bill came and it was $40, with $2 taken off for a discount. :( They only discounted Aaron's dish.

Nobody had money so I ended up paying for that as well. This was an expensive weekend.

Cindy and I got back to Rochester around 9 and we hung out at my place until midnight. I took her home and finally got to bed around 12:30.

This morning I ran as usual, tired as usual, but since my stove blew up on Friday (did I mention that?) I can't cook breakfast or whatever. So save on some money I'm skipping the grocery shopping this week and living on supplies. So I'm down to a minimalist eating pattern right now. Cindy also has eaten most of the good stuff that's left, so I'm down to kidney beans and ice. :)

I had another presentation this morning at the library for some deans and whatnot and it went over without a hitch. Molly called me and let me know that my father got into a horrible accident and was in the hospital. She said Aaron called her this morning all upset, trying to get info. None of us know anything so they're all freaking out.

Mom eventually calls from Syracuse to let everyone know that Dad was in an ATV accident and he hit a tree or something. He broke several vertebre and is most likely paralyzed by the neck down. He seemed in good spirits tho. I might go see him on Friday with my family, I really haven't decided yet. The accident happened on Saturday and nobody felt like telling any of his family. Nice.

I finally bought my PVR/DVD player. I can't wait for it to come. I also got a complete 4 year warranty on it so I'm all set. I'm going to buy the surround system tonight. I guess I have some big decisions to make!

Tonight should be a little more quiet. I've been on the run since last week!
