Thursday March 15, - Friday March 16, 2001

Jesse Cosser and I bailed from work at 3pm and I ran a few errands before arriving home at 4:30-ish. Gram said that my ex-girlfriend, Jamie, (Who had broken up with me just a week before after returning from a vacation in Florida) had called twice. Gram said that it sounded important and that I should call her. I grabbed the phone and called immediately. (Secretly hoping that Jamie would tell me she couldn't live without me and wanted me back.) She informed me that she needed to return to Florida due to the fact that her son, Devon, was sick and her parents needed her to come back. She said that she needed someone to drive down with her, as her parents didn't want her driving down alone, and asked me if I could get a week off from work. I told her that I couldn't take the whole week off as I had just taken off two weeks to go to France a month and a half before. She said to see if I could go down for the weekend (taking Friday and Monday off) and she could fly me back on Monday morning.

I called United Radio and explained the situation to my boss, and he said it was okay, but I could not have any more time off until after June. I agreed. Next, I called MacGregor's Tap Room and got my shifts covered and then called Angela and explained my situation. I asked if I could pick up Eliza on Tuesday night. She agreed.

I called Jamie back and told her I could do it. She said she would pick me up around 7-ish.
I spent the next few hours getting stuff out of the attic for Gram (who is angry that I am going) and getting my gear together.
Jamie came at 7:15 and we went to the bar to get my paycheck. We stopped at Sound Garden so she could get the new Limp Bizkit disc, and then we were on our way.
