In like a lion
Mar. 1st, 2024 11:32 pmHow is it March? It did come in like a lion...okay an old one, mostly toothless that sprinkles when it tinkles. It drizzled for 90 of my 110 mile journey and then poured for the last part of it (naturally because that's the only part with traffic, the rest was a mostly empty road)
So I'm here for the Frogman festival which seems...cursed. I woke up too early this morning when the quadriceps of my bad leg went into a charley horse so bad I wasn't sure all the synthetic tendons in my knee were going to hold together. It felt like it was coming undone. So fantastic.
I got here drama free after a 2 hour late start thanks to lab running stupid long (for NO reason, the wednesday lab did this one like 40 minutes faster) I got here easily. Found the Greek place I wanted, got to the hotel, sat down, graded the lab exam and then looked up the Loveland Frogman fest to see the opening hours...and it's SOLD OUT.
I didn't prebuy tickets because of my health this past week, just in case I had to cancel. Well now it's too late to get any of my hotel fees back. There's no freaking phone numbers either to call in the morning because yesterday it had buy at the door tickets. So what do I do? I plan to go in the morning just to see if they merely took it off line because it's tomorrow.
But if I can't get in well then I have plans. I can't win for losing and I'm torn between being glad I looked and sad because I've been depressed for hours now. On the other hand I wanted to see the Native American exhibit at the Cincinnati Art museum anyhow. If it truly is sold out (and who the hell would have expected that?!?) I will go to that and the aquarium or the zoo. There's plenty to do in Cincinnati but I would have rather done that after the semester.
Why I'm taking this so well is either I'm getting better at controlling my temper or I'm too numb at this point to cry (It's probably both).
I would just like one thing to go right, just one thing to work out for me though.
