I went to pick up my meds at 1:30. Dyanis and I got day passes to ride the street car, since it was cheaper that way. We rode down Canal St., then swapped street cars at St. Charles. The experience was very nerve racking, for many reasons. The St. Charles street car was shitty as hell. They were slow, over-crowded, loud/noisy, and lacked air conditioning. Also, there were only leather straps to hold onto in the front and the back, but at least they had handles on the backs of the seats to hold onto. Still, I kept losing my balance. The driver looked like she didn't want to be there, and didn't announce the stops. I wasn't sure which stop we needed to get off at, and it was almost 3:30 when the pharmacy closes.
I eventually figured out where we were, and we got off at the stop. It seems that you have to get off quickly before the car starts going again. For that reason, and the fact that I was stressed with so many things at once, I basically had a meltdown. I ran like a bat out of hell out of the street car and into the street . I scared Dyanis half to death and she called me, because there were cars coming. I got out of the way, but she was telling me that it was dangerous. I lost control of myself because I was so stressed, and there didn't seem to be anywhere to go.
After alot of fighting/talking, we got to the pharmacy just in time. If we had arrived one minute later, they would have closed. The security guard said I was lucky. It sucks that there is only a 2 hour window of time, but I had to get my meds. I had to wait for a long time, because they were backed up. I eventually calmed down, answered a demographics questionnaire for the clinic, got my meds, scheduled my next appointment, and met Dyanis outside (she decided not to pass through security because it would take too long). We talked some more about it and then began walking to Wal-Mart.
We were still fighting about the same issue as before: she was telling me I need to be careful because nothing is worth getting hurt or killed in traffic, even being late and missing a day of meds. I got lost and we went too far in the wrong direction. I was just about ready to throw in the towel at this point. I was tired, hungry, hot sweaty, and my legs hurt. My ears also were bothering me because of all the traffic noise. We eventually headed back and found Wal-Mart. Then, we went inside.
Dyanis went shopping for some bras and tried them on. I felt like a kid again, like when I had to wait for mom in the store. After Dyanis came out of the dressing room, I told her my legs hurt and I needed to sit. I promised her if she needed to find me that she could just text me. I wasn't going far, so she agreed. I went to the front of the store, used the bathroom, and found a seat at some bank. I also managed to get some change that was stuck in the coin star machine, which was good.
Afterward, we both were hungry, so we decided to head back. I found a $5 bill on the way out. Dyanis and I both agreed that today was not all bad, and things were looking up. I was ok riding the street car again since I knew what to expect this time, and I was more careful in the street. We took the street car back to Canal/St. Charles, and found a Domino's Pizza. She wanted to take us there, and we ordered a large Meat-zza with a 2-liter of Sprite. We relaxed, ate, chat, and went to the Canal Street Mall, then we went home to to get jackets because it was cold.
Amadeo, Dawn, and Justin Mills were there watching a movie, and we said hi. Then we, got our stuff, and headed out again. We went to the Harrah's casino, but Dyanis didn't bring her I.D., so we couldn't go in. We then went to The Canal Street Mall again, and hung out there for a while and chatted :) Then, we went home and went to bed.
It was a great day overall, full of chatting, walking, traveling, and plenty of P.D.A. ;) Dyanis is the perfect girl for me! :)
