glacier_kittyWe made it to Payson! The first flight left after midnight..I can now add "sleeping (well, ish) with a mask on" to my list of accomplishments LOL. My bag also weighed 16 pounds..what a good omen! Haha. The flight actually went rather quickly, maybe 2 1/2 hours. We got to Seattle at 4 something..ugh, I hate that time of morning lol. We looked in a couple bookstores (ooooh, the floor is purple and shiny!! *stares in sleep deprivation* :P) and got a quick bite to eat before the next flight left at 6 something. I need a new computer, because it won't play things like Netflix since Flash was discontinued, so I had to pay for Internet to watch a movie (half of Big Hero Six). This flight was also around 2 1/2 hours, nice! I was SO happy to rip my mask off when I went outside LOL. It was pretty warm, in the 70s or 80s, and it was only 9 something!
It was nice to see mom, and we had breakfast at Cracker Barrel before driving up to Payson. There was a bad fire along that road last year, and a lot of the poor saguaros just looked..melted. The way they were drooping was so sad, especially since they take so long to grow! It's still a pretty drive though, and there's plants starting to grow again in the burned areas, so that's cool. It was nice to get to the house and relax! Ryan's friend Christi from Texas is visiting too (they've known each other since middle school..he was going to visit her in Texas, but it didn't work out, so she came here instead). Jo and Ryan disappeared and, uh..."unpacked" LOL. :P I excitedly found the school journals and stuff I'd been looking for (one is from 6th grade!) and have begun typing them up lol. I also found this article about autism mom printed out in 1999, and I about died when I read "the great majority of autistic persons are retarded, often severely." OMG D: D: D: Mom had underlined certain things, like this: "they ask annoying, pointless questions and indulge in tedious monologues." Ouch!!! Whoever wrote that article wasn't very nice. D: I was trying to read it to mom, but my exhausted stuttering was annoying and I was like "yeahh I'm going to take a nap" haha (Jo did too). I also had a migraine (maybe from the altitude change?), so that didn't help either (I took two Excedrin and Motrin, and it still didn't go away completely..ugh). Eventually we ate dinner and got some Culver's frozen custard (it was really good!) and now we're relaxing. I'm still very tired, I hope I sleep well tonight lol. I'm not positive, but we might go up on the Mogollon Rim tomorrow..nice, I love it up there!
Here's a pic from tonight's sunset!:
