A Moments Grace Continued Disclaimer: I once again own nothing but my OCs. Important Note: I don't really have anything planned out for this, I'm just going with the flow. Here's something to think about; if the Transformers were real and not purely a work of fiction and if you had the chance today, to meet them would you? Seriously sit down and think about this and how it could possibly affect not only your life but the lives of everyone around you. Not as easy as it sounds is it?
There were days such as today where I was convinced that the general public at large were nothing but total idiots. If youve ever worked in retail in any way shape or form you know exactly what I mean.
Only a few more hours to go and I would be out of here for the day, thank god. My nerves were seriously fried after dealing with every grouchy person in the state it seemed like. At least today I wouldnt have twenty million stops to make before I went home. That was a blessing in itself.
After I took my trash back to the garbage disposal I clocked out for the day depositing my vest into my locker and grabbing my purse on my way out of the door. Walking out of the door the heat hit me like a blast from a furnace, just great I thought fumbling for my truck keys in my large bag.
Unlocking the passenger side door of my truck I had to lean across and open the drivers side door; the handle had broken the other day and it would cost about $200 dollars to fix it because the part was hard to find and would have to be ordered. Of course it was $200 dollars I didn't have at the moment and it was one of those things were it would just have to wait.
Rolling down the windows all the way I waited for the majority of the heat to escape before I got in. Driving down the highway I was mostly on automatic, I traveled this route so much I wouldn't be surprised if my truck could drive itself home. Which of course made me think of Transformers. Now that would be nice I thought, have a sentient car just drive you home when you were too tired to drive yourself.
It took me a little over thirty minutes to get home, pulling into the driveway I stopped and got the mail opening up the farm gate and shutting it behind me. The horses were all down in the lower pastures by the woods but they were known for finding ways out so I always kept the gate shut for safety reasons. Most people that I knew were aware of this and knew if they didn't shut it behind them they'd find me not very happy with them.
Shuffling through the mail it was nothing but bills and most of them were past due notices and one catalog. Climbing up the back porch stairs I entered the kitchen dropping my purse on the counter as I rummaged around in the fridge for something to eat and a cold drink.
Making a quick sandwich I checked the answering machine and changed out of my work clothes, eating my sandwich as I walked around my dogs woke up and began following me around hopefully. Shaking my head I tore off the crusts and tossed them to the little beggars. Flipping on the tv to check the weather the news was talking about the box office hits this past weekend. Transformers 2 was of course a big draw, no duh I thought to myself. And of course the critics were raking it over the coals, seriously what movies DID they like anyways.
After the weather report I turned it off and went out to the barn, the lawn mower was waiting and the yard was way past due for a mowing. In fact it could probably be cut and baled I thought to myself as I made my way to the little shed next to the barn that held the mower. Hopefully the gas can wasn't empty, Randy had been the last one to use it (miraculously ) and I had threatened him if he left it empty. Pulling the push mower out of the shed I was relieved to find the can was indeed full. Now all I had to do was mow the stinking yard now. Maybe I should get cows and just fence in the yard and then I wouldn't have to ever mow again. Of course they left nice little presents around though, but how much earth friendlier could you get though I thought to myself as I started up the mower.
A little over a half an hour later and the front yard was done. Now all there was left was the back yard; but that could wait till later I decided as I entered the house all hot and sweaty my gross tshirt was covered in grass clippings and right now all I wanted to do was take a shower after I got something to drink. Standing in front of a fan in the house attempting to cool my self off I noticed the answering machine was blinking. Groaning I walked over and hit the play button immediately Kevin's voice was telling me that he would be there in half an hour to get me so I should hurry up and feed. Glancing at the clock I moaned knowing that he would be coming down the drive any minute; I seriously was too tired to go anywhere tonight.
I had planned on checking my email and see if there were any new stories up on the fiction site as I hadn't been able to get on there in a few days time. Just as I was refilling my glass of water Kevin came down the drive parking right beside the house. Knocking on the screen door I hollered for him to come in.
"Whats this? Didn't you get my message? C'mon hurry up get changed so we can get going will you" he frowned as I just stood there sipping my glass of ice water.
"And just what is so important anyway? I asked half way turning and grabbing the bag of chips and munching on a few.
Reaching over he grabbed the bag and took a few chips out before handing the bag back to me.
"Because we are going to see Transformers 2 tonight, Brandon is meeting us there so will you hurry up already?" he mumbled in between the chips in his mouth.
"Gotta feed first, I've been out mowing and I just now got your message and besides Kevin isn't home yet. And you know I don't like leaving the place empty. So you'll either have to wait until he gets home or we just go another night. Your call, I'm gonna go change before I feed. I feel sticky and gross."
Tossing him the bag of chips as he scowled at me I went to my bedroom to find something halfway clean to change into.
