So I've gone back to Mom's flat for the week. The trip there wasn't too bad I guess, but as expected, the flat is a disappointment as always. It's pretty cramped and apart from the one TV and games console, there's nothing much to do. There's one cat called God of Destruction who causes a mess all the time, but that's pretty much the only excitement.
At least I've got that camping trip to look forward too at the weekend. Now that it's going ahead as planned, I talked with Gemma and Lottie on the phone yesterday about it and we ultimately decided to just make it a wilderness sabbatical with our own tents. I've watched enough slasher movies to know that those lakeside camps house all sorts of creepy serial killers.
Gemma was super excited as expected. She doesn't normally get to do stuff like this, so she always likes it when she can visit the countryside. She's still wondering what kind of creatures and bugs we're gonna come across - she's an avid bug collector herself and always likes to keep them as pets. Also, she was going nuts staying inside for the majority of last summer, so she's happy to be getting out at last.
Lottie was rather peeved about it all though. "Y'know, we could have just cancelled the camping trip entirely rather than move it to a later date. Make Disney World our getaway trip instead!"
She really doesn't understand. Disney World was meant to be a private therapy trip for my dad, not a substitute plan that Lottie could get on board with. I don't get her at times anyway. She's always been super prissy when it comes to nature and freaks out if she comes into contact with even a ladybug.
I don't even remember how we became friends in the first place. I still remember how she was super into pink and princesses back in elementary school. Now she's all about fashion and makeup. She's always found me and Gemma weird for being into bugs and getting dirty. And yet despite all the times she's complained, somehow she still sticks around. Ha! XD
We've decided the same as what happened with the Disney World trip - we head out Friday and come back Monday. Oh, and we bring masks too, just in case something happens and we need to travel to someplace nearby for resources or help. Gemma's also the only one of us that actually knows proper first aid, so that may be a bit of a problem as well.
Oh well, I'm sure it will work out. The Disney World trip did, so why shouldn't this one?
