God, today sucked.

It was going to be so great, too. 98 degrees, sunny - does that shout beach to you? Because it sure did to me, especially after yesterday was torrential downpour.
Unfortunately, it also shouted "beach" to literally thousands of jellyfish. Swarming all over the beach, they were. That kind of takes the fun out of going in the water, unless for you the fun is the thrill of getting stung. And Xiggy didn't really understand why my "dig a big hole" concept brings me so much joy, so I didn't really get to do that. And I stubbed my toe on the boardwalk, and took off a huge bit of skin from the tip, and it really really hurt (but didn't bleed. We must be thankful for small miracles). And a lot of stuff with my mom I'm not getting into here.
Then we went to Jenn's. Ana was a doll, as usual. She thought she had the funniest plan ever, though. She shoved me down onto her bed, tucked me in, brought me a pillow and a bear, gave me a kiss, and read me a story, all the while saying "go to sleep now" and "good night". As I was tired, I didn't mind this at all. And eventually I did get up, defied her commands to go to sleep, and played a bit with her before she had to go to bed, at which point Jenn and Xiggy and I played cards.
So, it was torn between dismally bad and really boring, and I'm truly sorry, Xigs, for dragging you out to the beach in the middle of the jellyfish parade.
