So, after going to bed incredibly early last night. I had a couple of relaxing days at work because I was training the new kid Shaun who is a trip! But anyways back to my story, I got up this morning and scrambled to get ready to head to Boston. It was one of the few trips that wasn't filled with dread and grief. The plan was hang about the city and then go see the Little Monkey. That's right, Jeff and Nikki were finally going up to see the little guy.
So we got there and Jeff leads me down to this subway station that's supposed to be closer to the Hospital than Fenway station is. Well, we didn't find it and headed the long way to Fenway station anyhow. We had planned on going to this market where there are a bunch of shops and a plethora of food stands. So we put 10 bucks each on a Charlie Card [aka subway ticket] and hop onto the green line. Which is pretty awesome cause the subway car was almost empty and the A.C. was blowing full blast! Hop off that one and onto the Blue Line which isn't so bad. One stop later and we are at State St. where the Market is. It was utterly awesome, I loved all the little shops. I stopped at this nifty kiosk/cart that was a paper stand. They had journals, and invitations, and art books made from paper in that was from India. It was really quite something. Then we popped into build-a-bear to make Colby his 1 month birthday present. I do have to say, the little guy loved it. :D I had some bad chinese and Jeff had this awesome onion burger with steak fries for lunch.
It started to get dark and the thunder rippled overhead, we knew a storm was a brewin'. Hurriedly, we threw our garbage away and tried to make it out before the rain hit, but no such luck. After the second flash of lightening it was coming down in sheets. I was so hot, I didn't mind a little water but Jeff was a little frantic. I walked over to Newbury Comics and looked around for a bit for the rain to let up and then headed over to the train station. We never went to the Gardens. My camera died taking pictures of this group of black guy perfomers outside of the Market as we went in and plus it was still sort of drizzling. They were pretty awesome if I do say so myself. I looked around for a Border's but didn't find one insight, so we hopped the train back to the Hospital to see the little guy. After a trip to the Caff where we got drinks for us and Stacey we headed up, signed in, and made our way to Colby's new room.
We got there and Stacey was already holding the little guy. Apparently she had been holding him since around 2 pm and didn't stop till around 5:45. We got tons of pictures of the little guy, some on the big camera and some on our phones. I was so happy to see that I got a picture of the little guy with his eyes open. He had a couple of bradys which is a big drop in his heart rate, but pulled himself out of them real quickly. He was changed and ready for a new diaper come 6 a clock. Apparently, as soon as Stacey put the new one on he pooped but she decided to save that one for Johnny. Feeding time came and Stacey held him during feeding time but relinquished him over to Johnny when he got ther at almost 7. As soon as Colby was in Johnny's arms, he let out a present for him. You guessed it, the little guy went poopies again. All in all he had a good day! Jeff and I left them at about 7:10 to let them have some alone time and headed back home.
We were ont he highway heading back when Jeff accidently got off on the wrong exit. That was fine, luckily we have GPS but guess where it took us? Right past a Border;s. It was like fate said I should have a book today. We pull in, and I frantically search for a book while Jeff is hovering behind me. I pick one up, that sounds half way decent, and head for the register. Turns out, we earned 5 dollars off on my next book! So all in all my book had only cost me like 5 dollars instead of the usual 10. But there's more. I was putting my insurance card back in my wallet and I find a Border's gift card with 2.45 still on it! FATE!!!!! Jeff promises I can get another one, but we'll see! Maybe pictures of the little guy tomorrow! But for now I am utterly tired!
