Where I visit NLDC for an hour and wait forever for Dad
I dreamed NLDC was really only 5 hours away, so one day I decided to visit them, but it was just going to be for a couple hours. I'd leave at like 7 so I'd get there around noon, but then Mom wanted me back by suppertime so she told me I needed to leave by one. I tried to negotiate with her to let me stay and have supper with them and THEN drive back, but she really wanted me to leave between 1-2 in the afternoon.
There was also something really ominous with an ice cream shop... I think I was waiting there for Dad to pick me up and take me home from something. He was only about 20 minutes away so I waited for a really long time and finally, I called Mom to ask if he had left yet because he was two hours late. She said yeah, he left about two hours ago, but she didn't seem concerned at all that he hadn't made it there yet. I went to go get some food from the ice cream shop, but they were closed. The two employees were still there, though, and started looking for the copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that they kept behind the desk. They told me that the best way to calm me down would be to read that to me. (It was the Douglas Adams book, not the book mentioned IN the Douglas Adams book. The second one would have been more helpful, given the "DON'T PANIC" on the cover.)
