i went to go see my grandmother who is back in town after travelling for 3 months on her dream trip to finally see the world before she dies. i have to see my mom as well to pick up something so why not kill 2 birds with 1 stone and have my mom come over to visit as well. so i wait. and i wait. it's starting to get late in my mind for me to go home to find parking, though it's not late by anybody else's standards. finally i can't wait any longer and leave. just as i was leaving the little street, there comes my mom pulling in. i stop the car and run over to say i gotta go and she gives me the water filter i was gonna pick up. i make it home and after circling for 25 minutes and unable to find parking, i say screw it and go back to my old place. i am supposed to check mail while my ex- is out of town but i didn't expect to check it so quickly. rather than parking very far away from my place which would mean getting up even earlier to walk all the way down to my car, i decided to just double park and quickly grab some clothes for tomorrow and stay the night at my old place. i have the luxury to do that now but what about the future? i shudder to think of driving so damn far away to find parking. i just can't go out at night by my own car... man, my mom is not on my good side right now!
