He might be a little mad... / Shopping alone in Nashville
Well, I was right. He didn't stop by on the way to his workshop out of town, but he did invite me to come and visit, which I did. :) So I'm sitting here in a hotel room waiting for him to get back. So far everything's been very pleasant.
Except for one thing... I didn't sleep well last night. (I kept waking up sweating or freezing, and I had a dream that there was an earthquake here which caused a huge chunk of the highway to collapse and kill a bunch of people. It's probably because I mentioned to him on the phone, trying to get un-lost, that the retaining walls sidelining the highways here look like they wouldn't stand up to a small earthquake.)
I remember waking up after what seemed like hours, lying there with my eyes closed, thinking that if I did it long enough, I would eventually fall asleep. When I looked at my cell phone, it said that it was 3 am. I'd only been trying to sleep for about 2 1/2 hours. :( And I still wasn't any sleepier.
It certainly didn't help that I felt like I was all twitchy. LOL But then again, so was he, so I might have been noticing both of us being unable to really sleep.
Here's the bad part. He was really sweet when he left and put the do not disturb tag in the lock. I got up at about 8:30 and went down for breakfast, came back up and fiddled around awhile on my computer, and then I got so tired I needed a nap. I thought that with as little sleep as I got last night (nobody's fault but my own - I'm the fool who's been staying up till 4:30 in the morning getting that room together), a short nap wouldn't be a bad idea.
Well, I slept for 2 hours, stayed really hot the whole time, and realized that housekeeping is probably not going to bring in fresh linens because I dragged my ass taking the tag out of the door.
There's still a clean towel in there, and I certainly don't mind reusing the one I used, but for some reason admitting to oversleeping , and the resultant consequences with housekeeping, makes me feel really... I don't know... trashy? Tacky? Something along those lines anyway.
I guess I'll just confess when he comes in.
I didn't go shopping like I'd thought about doing. Really just a passing thought anyway, because getting lost last night made me a little edgy, and the thought of getting lost even in the daylight REALLY bothers me. Shopping alone would make me really nervous anyway, so heading to Opry Mills might not be a positive experience for me.
Shopping isn't something I enjoy at all. A rather painful task for me, most of the time. I prefer stores that I can get in and out of quickly, having found exactly what I needed fast, with no time for anybody to stare at me. Something about it just unnerves me. Maybe it's because I don't like being by myself for everything, and I prefer having someone to talk to while I shop, but that whenever I go with my sister (the only one I have to go with, incidentally), I'm just there to keep her company while she shops for herself. No time sticks out in my mind that she has done that for me.
Lucky for her she likes shopping by herself. I just never have. Please not that this is not an official whine. :D I did go downstairs and eat breakfast by myself, and it wasn't that bad.
I did head down to the vending machines a little while ago for a snack. Twix and two Pepsis. LOL I would have only gotten 1 Pepsi, but the first one got hung on the way down and I had to buy a second one to finish knocking it down the chute. Nothing else I could think of worked, so I'm glad that did. If nothing else, I can save it for later or for my drive home. (Which is tomorrow, I guess?)
He'll be done here at noon tomorrow, so I really don't know when I should leave.
