I'm not where I'm supposed to be... 

I'm not where I thought I'd be...

I'm not where I wished I'd be... 

how's your day?

 9/4/2022

I went to pick dad up for my favorite breakfast! Dad made some comments which irritated me but not enough for a blow-up. We enjoyed the meal, and ordered an extra in case mum wants it. We continue with our day. Dad drives me to pick up cake for a birthday lunch celebration. We discuss gas station + toilet + pharmacy + drop me off schedule to fit around our next summon - to pick mum up for her next whim. We manage to fit toilet in + dropping me off and parted ways for the day. 

I went to work, puked some, grabbed to dinner. My dad has my power bank, and my phone battery is hm, not the best. I turn on flight mode to conserve battery for my ride home after dinner. 

Midway through dinner, I figured I could contact parents in case they're around to pick me up for home. Or rather, they could call me in case anything happens ! I disabled flight mode, and received a text of 2 missed calls. I called back immediately to no reply. I turn on flight mode again. All this with scaterrbrain attention as I was engrossed at dinner. Then I remembered again and disabled flight mode, received another text of 2 missed calls. This time while dialing dad, I read a WhatsApp report from dad to say he's back in the hotel. I was relieved. And on the phone, dad answers, "We are back in the hotel. The car is here. Do you want to come and grab the car?" "No, I'm at dinner." "You can come and take the car tonight if you want" "No need, tomorrow is ok" "Ok, tomorrow morning I can go pick you or you can come take the car if you want" curtly "Ok". "Ok, we had hokkien mee earlier.." "Ok" "with uncle Leonard and all.. it was good......" *waits for him to finish....."So.... how was your day?" *chuckles "i talk to you tomorrow la!!" "Huh? How was your day?" "I talk to you tomorrow la! Im seeing you tomorrow right?" "Ya.." "Yup ok, bye" "Ok, bye".

Dad picks me up with front seat empty. I wonder where mum is, but concluded that it did not make sense given mum's notorious random whims which we've gotten used to. I open the backseat door, gaspeed at my mum. I opened the front seat door, "i didn't see mum there! was just wondering where she is" she was covered by the window shades. "You managed to enter?" "Yes la, i just told the guard pickup, then they let me in" I settle in the seat. "So...... *peeks left whilst driving* how was your day?"

*chuckle

"it was good. i had lunch and dinner. urs?"

"okla.. we went dinner........." etc etc.
