T - 6 Hours(ish)

Today is the day. Talking to K yesterday helped. She gave me a good idea for what to bring. For his sister/sister's boyfriend I will go to the bakery near my apartment and get an assortment of baked goods. Chocolates (made in our city) for his mom, and red wine for his dad. He is at work and class now. I have to run errands for a couple hours, shower, get ready, finish packing, and be ready and waiting when he gets back from class.

I could have killed him last night. I should have seen it coming--but as soon as he was done packing, he came to my apartment and asked for his pot. So much for, "I am not going to do it again until the term is over." He didn't end up doing it (because he got an earful from me), but I ended up feeling like a controlling bitch because of the whole encounter. Really, who am I to tell him what he should and should not do? Even if I was his girlfriend I shouldn't do that, but I have even less of a right to do that as our relationship stands now. I just couldn't believe, after what he said two nights ago, that he was asking me for it! Why even give it to me to hold (HIS idea, not mine) if he is just going to ask for it back two nights later?! I guess it doesn't matter--he didn't do it (although if he'd known where in my room it was, he might have just grabbed it), but it still bothered me. He is not a big pothead. But this past week, it seems like all he has wanted to do. He just needs to stop doing it every damn night. He is so fucking boring when he is stoned. The rant of the week I guess.

So we are planning to be on the road between 3:30 and 4:30. I expect we will hit traffic. It would be a 2-3 hour drive without traffic. His mom and dad (or at least his dad) have a dinner tonight, so it may just be me, him, his sister, and his sister's boyfriend. I wouldn't mind that. It would be nice to start out slowly. But I expect that his parents will still be at the house when we get there. Maybe when the initial meeting is over, I will feel more relaxed. I guess I should focus on the drive first. I have to navigate--not my strong suit. Since we live in a city, and neither of us have cars here, I have never seen him drive. I can be a bit of a backseat driver. I hope he isn't scary behind the wheel. On the upside, I made two mixed cd's (alternating his music and my music). That should make the drive more pleasant, and help keep my nerves at bay.

Off to run errands and do everything else I have to do. Fingers crossed that this weekend goes well. I am sure that I will have a lot bottled up to write about by Monday (not necessarily, and hopefully not, in a bad way).
