this has to be quick as we're in the middle of the chappaqua publik library. last time i was here we didn't get to see chappaqua proper so now we're getting a thorough tour. ross is still with us -- he's going back to scarsdale, where his grandparents is, this afternoon. ruby will be there and the idea is that he and ross and ruby's friend will drive up to the adirondacks. the jury is still out on whether or not ben will have a car in which he and i can make the trip. since ruby is returning so quickly, ross definitely wants us to come so that we can drive back later, at our leisure.
if it doesn't happen, i don't know what i'll do. family dynamics are stressful and i kinda feel like if i'm going to have to deal w/ them, i may as well deal w/ my own. i was planning to go back to dc this coming weekend anyway; i could just go early. spend some quality time at umd w/ the fuelos. or return to the barn and chill there, venture into the city, see a lot of movies. i could also keep imposing on ben's parents -- blah. i just want something calm and cool and thoughtless; i need recuperation time.
