Today, my parents took me to the Bagel cafe after they dropped off my brother. I though that it was just them wanting to spend time with me, because that has become increasingly rare as of late. But no! At one point, they go very serious and said no, we have brought you here under false pretenses. I suddenly got very pale and my heart skipped a beat. Then, they handed me this envelope. It only got worse for my heart at that moment. But in the end, it was quite a positive outcome. Turns out that it was a ticket confermation/reciept for and American Airlines flight on the 23 of July(I wrote this on the 9th BTW) Flight one of this two part adventure is an Airbus A321-200 from SFO to Charlotte in Virginia. The aircraft looks like this:

What do you think of that little bubble nose? Is it cute or is it wierd? I think that is is cute in a weird way. Like the way that only it’s mother can really love it for it’s natural looks. Anyway, this fligth is about fiive and a half hours long. Then, I have a 50 minute layover in Charlotte, if all goes according to plan, and neither of the \240planes are delayed. The flight number is 1960. I depart SFO at 7:06, in the morning! That is before I usually get up in the morning during the summer. So that means that I have to be up at 4 in the morning, to leave by 4:45, so we can check in at 6, to be at the gate by 6:30-6:45. Wow. That. Is. Early. So I am bubbiling over with the excitment of it all. The next flight is with American Eagle, operated by PSA Airlines. It is on a CRJ-200. A small, cramped, poorly designed regional jet. But I have to go now, time for bed. By all, see you in tommorw morning’s blog!

Good morning! I slept fine, but I woke up with my neck really hurting. I have a Spanish calss at 9 o’clock today, so need to eat breakfast and use the restroom before then. Mulu my kitty is sitting with me here😺

Then, Moemoe is taking me with her to her office, so I am going to sit in her office and she will meet with her students in the conference room. That gives me about two and a half hours to blog here, play Infinte Flight and read! See you then😬

This is an addition to my blog from earlier today. This is my ticket confirmation that my parents gave to me yesterday.

And this is how it folds up

So, I am currently am Moemoe’s office, in Oakland. She is doing a conference call for some student that she is doing something for. Dang, never seen her looking so professional before. Impressive. I am sitting in one of the super uncomfortable student chairs in her office, the ones that the school provides. Soooooooooooo excited for the 23, as I am sure you know. If you are new to this blog group, please go ahead and check out the first blog on this page. It explains lots of what I will be talking about in this post. Just go back to the first part of the blog page, where you select the bog that you want to read, select the first one, with the airplane on the cover. She just passed me a note saying that she is bored, and I reasponded saying that we are passing notes like bad little 5th graders. She now has 6 minutes until the first student that she is meeting with comes in. She asked what she should do, and I told her to read my blog, but she said that it is not a priority of her’s right now. Ouch!

So, it is now approaching 2 hours since Moemoe left( Hour and fourty five minutes), and guess what! She forgot her phone here, so there is no way at all that I can reach her and ask for an ETA, or anything else. I don’t even have the reassurance that if something does go wrong, that I can contact her and ask for help or anything like that! So yeah, that is my current situatio. And did I mention that I am starving hungrey! I want her to come bach soooooooo bad right now. And two people have knocked on the door, who I assumed were her students who came for their meetings. I didn’t answer the door, becasue hey, what they hell, they aren’t my problem! Just kidding, I was embarresd to say something or to tell them where she is. I am hoping that they made their way there eventually, or something happend to them, like they were eaten by the crocodile who lives in office 309. But they didn’t come bach here again, so I am trusting that either one of thoses two senarios took place. So here I am, just writing my boredom away. Not \240much else left to do now. But wait, she just came back! She told me to open the door for one of her students when he comes. Edward is his name. So I am now sitting with the door open, hoping no one comes in a murders or kidnapps me or somehing like that!

Well, goodbye for now.

Ok, so I haven’t done this for two days now, and sorry for that. Was just very busy and didn’t have a moment to write here. Moving on, yesterday was Moemoe’s surgery on her knee. They made four small cuts in the knee and they removed all the gunk and scar tissue in there that was casuing her pain and the weird clicking. It was less that thirty minutes in the Operating Room for that procedure! So she and I watched a movie last night, and we were just hanging around before that. I went and sat with her as soon asI woke up this morning. it is 9:15 now, but you can probably see that somewhere here. She is asleep right now with the cats. I am nervous for her, but I know that I shouldn’t be. I just love her and I don’t want her to be in pain. Did I mention that I went and bought her flowers with my bike yesterday? Even though I was not feeling my best. She loved em. We got copies of the pictuers taken by the camera in her knee during the surgery, and they are quite haunting. i hope that she wakes up soon, but I want her to get rest. Mamma is going to her meeting today, and that means that I or Moemoe will have to play with the small fry! It will hurt her to have to do that, but me having to play with him for that length of time is ablosutley horrifiying! Okay, maybe not. I have a feeling that he is going to fake sick begging her to let him watch his TV stories. She will probably let him. Then I am going to ask her if I can too, and then she is going to get angery and frustarted, and the rest is history! Okay, maybe not. She has her Send me on a Damn Trip pills(aka pain pills that are strong as hell). So yeah. Yannis is “Cat watching” which means that he let the cats out in to the back yard and is watching them. Mamma is with him too. I find it interesting that , I didn’t even really think about my upcoming trip with, pause, gag, retch, American Airlines! I guess that I was occupied or nervous enough yesterday to not think about it. Well, I guess that it did breifly cross my mind when I saw the ticket in my bag. I was yee and then moved on. Okay, I have streched this out long enough for today, Here are the pictures from inside Moemoe. If you have a sensitive stomach, I wouldn’t reccomend lookiing past this line

Bye for now!

So guess what? Today I feel even worse than I did yesterday! (I’m sick right now btw), and every time that I cough, it feels like some weird cheese grater is shooting up my throat. Super painful. Now add in someone stabbing you with a knife in the back of the head, and someone shooting you in the forehead, all at the same time. And then a stinging pain in my ears. Now you know how I feel right now. My throat hurts the whole time and only gets worse when I swallow. I am super congested and when I cough, I hack snot and other mucas goo lose. Okay, enough of me complaining about my pain and suffering. Next up is, well, I dunno what else. Not an eventful day in any way at all. I completed two landings in Infinite Flight Multiplayer, in the same session. Is that interesting? I am too tired and in pain to know. Ummm, Mamma is with one of her friends, shopping at Safeway because Moemoe had surgery and I am too sick to do it for her), so they are there now. i asked her to bring me some fruit juice of some sort to make Sparkiling Mocktails with (As it is a Sunday, and we are a South African household, we will not permit the use or consuption of alcahol on Sundays. Ha , just kidding. I’m eleven. No vodka for me, yet...). I also asked her to bring me Body Armour, a sports drink that is organic, no artificial colors or flavors, made from cocnut water, etc. Hippie Water. I also asked for Ramen, and she said yes for all of these things! W.O.W. So just sitting here and waiting. 😕🙄. So that means I am bored now, because I can’t play on my phone for liike another hour or half an hour, and I don’t want to read because it hurts my eyes and head and I just don’t wanna. Oh well, bye for now. \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240 \240

Okay, so nothing mush eventful today. Took out the garbage this morning, first time that I have been out in a while. Nice outside now, 73 degrees farenheit. Not bad compared to what we have had lately. Moemoe and I just finished watching Allegiant, the third and final movie in the Divergent series. I initially thought that I wouldn’t like it, becuase I did not like the book (Or at least the ending. I didn;t finish reading it, that is how much I didn’t like it.) However, I was pleasently suprised by this movie. It was created based on the assumption that they would make enough money off of this one, and have enough interest that they would be able to make a fourth movie, similar to the cenario with The Hunger Games. That one worked out, unlike the Divergent idea. They then wanted to make a television movie out of it, but that didn’t work either. So, in the end, it was all a flop. The third movie in the series is, in fact, the final one, so it ends with a key person who is supposed to be dead still alive, and many things wrong. Spoiler Alert:

Tris dies in the end of Allegiant, and that triggerd me. A lot. But her still being alive in the last movie of the series! That is like Dumbeldore not dying in harry Potter! It makes no sense and the story can’t continue the way it is supposed to! But who kills off their protagonist in the first place?! So that irritated me just as much as her death did. So upsetting! UGH. UGH. UGH. UGH. UGH. Well. Moemoe is asleep right now, and I am writing this. We are waiting for Mamma and the small fry to come home. I miss them. I am going to stop writing for now, because my back hurts and I feel really bad and my throat and head hurt like the death of me. I might edit this later on. Bye Felecia

Okay, so today was a great day, up until about an hour ago. More on that later. Helet finally sent me the e-mail with all the things she wants me too bring/know for this trip. This is really begining to feel real. Can you believe that it is only 5 more days until I leave?! Okay, actually typing it and not just thinking it makes it feel a whole lot longer. But thinking how fast this last week went, since I was told about this trip last Tuesday, then 5 day should be a breeze! Soooooo excited. In the e-mail list that Helet sent me, my worst fears were confirmed. It is going to be super hot when I am there. Noooooo! Okay, just kidding. it will be a welcome change from the bad weather we have had lately. But at least it is warming up around here. Sorry that I didn’t write anything yesterday. Just was really tired and felt too sick to do anything. Well, I finally watched Titanic yesterday. Not sure if regret it or not. It was a really good movie, and I liked it. But it was so intense on so many levels. Like the forbidden romance between Jack and Rose. It just made me so tense, just sitting there, knowing that anything could go wrong at any moment. And then there is the boat sinking, knowig that they are going to hit the iceberg, but not knowing when it is going to happen, and then people falling off of the boat, and dying slowly, or just watching the peoploe who gave up and just sat and waited for the water. And the length that some people went to save themselves. Like taking a child that someone had left behind and pretending that it is yours so you can get on a lifeboat. This movie just made me crazy in so many ways. But it was a really good movie anyway. If it comes down to this in the end, at least it had a good soundtrack. Thank you Celine Dion, for making one of the best songs ever to feature in a movie soundtrack. Okay, now on to what happend this afternoon. Moemoe basically just yelled at me because I got mad at my kinda stupid Alexa. She claims that I took it out on Yannis, which is not true. And then I decided that I want to vaccume, because Moemoe had told me to clean up my room so we coulld vaccume. I said I wanted to do it, and everything worked out fine from there. My irritation began when Yannis bugged me if I was going to freak out while doing it, and if I will be fine. I told him to be quiet and that I will be fine, so stop irritating me about it. Moemoe got mad at me for this, which was not right. She told me that it is musall memory! What?! Just because I freaked out like three out of ten times that I vaccumed, it does not mean that I will do that now! Okay, well, it all worked out in the end. So bye for now

Hello. I am sorry that I have not wrote anything in like two days. I was distarcted. Yesterday was a hard day for me, because I was going crazy for the time that I still have to wait before I go to Helet(Which is three full days, mind you). It is 8:06 in the morning today, and I can’t wait to go to sleep tonight, because then I am one day closer to the sacred day!(Que angels singing) I know that I will make it, but it just feels so hard. I got quite overwhelmed a few times yesterday while doing things. It all felt so much bigger than it really was. But I made it. Helet is planning to make a homemade picnic blanket with me, so we have bought all of the materials for it, and I am going to put it together and then Helet and I will decorate it together and use it. We went to Jo-Ann’s to get the fabric, and I got a bunch of cool artsie fartsie things. I got two braclet making kits, one is this really cool one where you put beads on fifty saftey pins, and then you put one string through the top, and another string through the bottom of the pins. Then you. Tie the top strings together and then the bottom strings together, to form a bracelet. The other kit is one that uses soda can tops, it is really cool. You string a ribbon through them in diffirent patterns. One of them looks like this

You will notice in the picture that there are two woven bracelets in the picture. I made five of them yesterday in like twenty minutes, one for each(Human( memeber of my family. Mamma made the strings soooo long on each of the bracelets, that there was enough for two in each strand, if that makes sense. So Yannis and I have matching ones, and Moemoe and I have matching ones. I also got this really cool kit for making these bottels with bright things in them. I dont know how to describe it. I will iclude a picture so you can see what I’m talking about, cause I know nothing that I just said makes any sense.

Okay, I have not written for some time. Sorry bout that. I just never remembered to. Okay, so tomorrow is my flight to Charlottesville from San Francisco. I am so excited 😆. I simply can’t wait any longer. THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR MY LITTLE BRAIN TO HANDLE! I’M GOING TO EXPLODE!!! Okay, so my bag is all packed, and I am ready to go. Well, almost. I still need to pack a good deal of things. We ordered a big sunhat for me, and it is supposed to arrive today, so I still need to pack that in. I also need to charge ALL of my devices, like the wireless keyboard use to type these blogs and other things, and my Bluetooth Headphones, and, of course, my phone! I also need a few other odds and ends that I didn’t have in yet yesterday. Today is going to be loooong day for me. It has been quite an ordeal waiting this long. And now it is here (almost). I got a new pedicure yesterday, so I am al set to fly tomorrow.

Ta da! So, like I mentioned much earlier, my flight is at seven in the morning, so it is going to be a fun experience getting up a four in the morning to get ready to go. Hurray (in the famous words of Shiny Pteranodon). So yes, this is going to be a tough day. I need to stop writing now because my food just arrived. I will create another entry to this day later on today, with a picute of my suitcase and other things like that. But today will be the last day that I write in this blog. I will be making a new one for on the plane and the trip.

Bye
