Woo-hoo! Walgreens was open yesterday! During my post-Rita tour of Houston, I discovered an open Walgreens. It was nice to see that I was not the only person bored out of her/his mind: Walgreens was packed. I was so thankful to be anywhere but home, I actually took the time to browse the aisles and bought some stuff I didn't need (at least, I didn't need it now, but my checkcard was itching to be used).
Today was much better. Not only is the traffic starting to look normal, but the movie theater was open (Matt and I saw "The Exorcism of Emily Rose") AND I found an open Starbucks!! My university is closed tomorrow, so my night class is cancelled (I have an extra week to read my chapters), but if things continue on their current track, everything will be open. Hopefully my car dealership will be open because my air conditioner is still broken and I am going to take advantage of the fact that my school is cancelled until Wednesday.
I don't know when Matt is going back to Louisiana. Probably sometime this week (depending on when I-10 is open again and if their house in Lafayette is livable). It'll be odd. These past 3 weeks have been a fabulous whirl-wind. With him gone, this will be the first big test of our relationship. Will being in different cities change our opinions of each other? Will this be one of those situations in which the relationship was formed out of necessity due to a disaster, only upon reflection to decide a different course of action? Or will absence make the heart grow fonder? Luckily I'm in Houston for at least two more years. I say luckily because this gives us the perfect reason to not go too fast. I love Houston, and whereas I say I can live anywhere, I don't want to move now. I want to experience more of Houston as an adult. I've only been here a few years (after college) and most of those years were living in a depressed state.
Am I making any sense or am I just rambling?
