I woke up almost an hour ago. I remember thinking a lot about handwriting and penmanship right after waking up.
In 8th grade (13-14 years old), I made the conscious decision to change the way I write the letter y. I used to use two straight lines, but I changed it to be curly, much like a cursive y. I've written it the same ever since.
It's going to be hard one day to make such a deliberate change to something I do so naturally and thoughtlessly. By that I mean changing my last name when I eventually get married.
If I get married to Da, it'll be weird to have such a loopy last name (in cursive). His last name has four loopy letters in a row. I think if I obtain his last name I'll break the rules and combine print with cursive. I need to try it out to see if it'll look cool or weird, but I'm still in bed so that's not happening.
Honestly, I need to go pee, but if I get out of bed, it might wake up J and then he will wake up my mom. Then she will either ask me to keep him occupied while she gets a couple more hours of sleep or she will wake up and watch him. I want everyone to get as much sleep as possible. My mom hasn't been feeling well lately, but she never really does...
We got a "new" car the other day. I believe it was Thursday, the 21st. It's the same brand, model, and color as Da's car except our car is a year older (2007). My mom spent a lot of time cleaning it the past couple days. Previous owners left a ton of dog/animal hairs in it. Even after getting 98% of the hairs out of it, my grandma still didn't want to get in it (rolls eyes).
I'm glad we finally have something to go get groceries in that doesn't require me to squeeze into a tiny space or drinks gasoline like it's dehydrated. And eventually I'll be able to drive it if I learn how to.
I heard my dad say something about getting N95 masks. I think he might be thinking about trying to go back to work. A quick Google search just told me that those masks aren't really supposed to be reused, especially heavily.
It's too soon for us to return to work and he ought to know that. We were hitting record numbers for cases in our state every day for at least 11 days until a couple of days ago, I think, or maybe we are still hitting those records.
Speaking of work, Da is looking for another job. He said his current job is implenting rules that will increase firings. He also said that his boss stepped down.
I really hope he can find a new job quickly and that he will be happy with it. I just want him to be happy and enjoy what he does. A couple of places he told me he applied to are a pet store and a book store.
I can't wait to see him again. I need more cuddles. I can never get enough. I swear it would be so much easier to sleep if I could just sleep with him, even though he does snore really loudly. I snore, too, but I'm unaware of the volume.
I miss lying in a big bed and waking up and scooting over to him to cuddle and go back to sleep. But hotels are expensive, especially that one. But it was so nice.
I can't wait to see his happy face again soon.
