 So. Today I was supposed to drive down to Utah to spend conference weekend with my family and I was actually so excited. I miss talking to my Mom and I miss Dad's lame jokes and all my siblings. I've honestly felt a little bit lonely lately. While I do have fantastic roommates (which does help a lot and I am so thankful for them) I feel like everybody that I'm super close to is far away. Em and my family are in Utah. Derity is in Idaho Falls and is spending a lot of time with Jerako (which like, they're dating so of course they are and he makes her really happy so I'm glad she has him) and I also haven't seen David like at all this week and it just kind of sucks. Okay WOW I got off topic. What the point of this paragraph is supposed to be is that I did not end up going to Utah. Turns out Alicia tested positive for COVID-19. Which is honestly a little scary but I think that everyone in our family should be okay. I'm not afraid anyone is going to die but there is always that lingering fear because everybody always thinks it won't happen to them until it does. Good news is that I ended up having a lot more free time today.

I actually did get to see Derity today and we went out shopping because I convinced her she should get a menstrual cup. There was only like one option for a menstrual cup at Walmart and it was more expensive than the online ones plus it wasn't one that had a pull tab. We decided she might as well just order the pull tab one. We did find soft soft sweatpants though and we got those and then went out to Pizza Pie Cafe for dinner. Way earlier this year, during Winter semester, I had really wanted to go but then our roommates who we were going out to eat with were like, "No that won't work let's go to this place which should be cheaper instead!" It was pretty much the same price though and I ordered very little food because it was actually pretty pricey for something that was supposed to be fast-casual and I got like two overpriced chicken tenders that were itty bitty. I was so salty about that for forever. And then like the next week everything started shutting down and we couldn't even go any more. So I finally finally got to go today after months of craving it.
