before i discuss the topics i said i would discuss, i'll recap my weekend. the wknd was supposed to consist of laundry, a surprise party in bk, and an alumnae meeting. instead it turned into a roadtrip to philly to see dumhi, sankofa, and 2/3 of tanya morgan, hours of traffic, and sorting through photos.
at the last minute on friday my homie asks if i wanna roll to philly with her. honestly i had planned to do laundry and go to bed early, but i hadn't been out there in a while so i said, "what the heck?" we were going to take the train but she ended up driving bc she got off work late. i don't know why but an hour and a half trip ended up taking us two and a half. there was traffic and we got turned around a bit bc the directions weren't clear.
we arrived in the middle of sankofa's set and found out we missed dumhi; we did get to see tanya morgan and a couple other groups though. there were quite a few folks there that i hadn't seen in a while. since i wasn't driving i got to drink! one mojito and two shots of patron in honor of cinco de mayo had me a little bit wobbly. after the show we went for cheesesteaks like any normal person craving greasy meat at 3 in the am. we ended up crashing somewhere for a couple of hours then headed back home.
which brings me to saturday. the original plan was to leave for bk around noon so i could be there in time for the surprise. saturday traffic to the city is no joke so i wanted to give myself enough time to get there. however, i didn't get home from philly until around 10am and i still needed to do laundry and other errands. i didn't leave my house until after 1pm and didn't leave the general vicinity until 2pm. holland tunnel traffic was at least an hour and a half. i was hot and my knees hurt.
finally made it to bk but i had to stop in dumbo to pick up my hip hop festival tickets first. drove in circles a couple of times before i asked a cop for directions (*sigh*), met up with my sister's bf, dropped them off at his house, went the wrong way to surprise party but i made it there by 5pm. this was the time i wanted to be heading back home. oh well. i tried to put a smile on my face but i was so tired and aggravating with the traffic and being in the car for so long.
the party was nice and chill but i couldn't drink anything because i had a long ride back home. thankfully i picked a good time to go home bc the traffic wasn't nearly as bad. i made it home in a hour and called my homie so we could get cinco de mayo drinks. she was still working on some stuff and said she'd call me back. i was drifting off in front of the television so i decided to just go to bed. so i turned my phone off and went to sleep.
i woke up on sunday to an empty house so i made myself breakfast and watched tv. this was pretty much the extent of my sunday. i didn't feel like going anywhere including my alumnae meeting. i went through a couple of more boxes in my bedroom and found some old photos, which prompted me to go through all my photos and get rid of the extra copies (a pox upon double prints!).
and this is why i'm tired/this is why i'm tired/this is why, this is why, this is why i'm tired.
