-The schedule WE keep-
Before I begin I'd like to preface this by saying. We are 1 funny family. Wrote a song about it, like to hear it, here it go.
(Ok so its more of a story that your gonna read. But you knew where I was goin with that. Right? Hopefully lol)
In case you havent been paying attention in the last uptine years. There is an actual difference in timing based on race, altho we're all succeptible to it. Now its not a actual timezone based on region, you can't set the clock hanging on the wall to it, or check reminder check box on you PC to "notify me when the clock changes". I have no idea where it orignated. Some would contend to say "here" others would say "there". Me, I dont know I'm not the descriminatory type. Regardless...at times we can easily drift into it . Its called 'CP Time' or "CPT" for short. Here I'll attempt to explain the CPT concept by example.
So yea the original "Plan", (we'll call it "Plan A") that was 'cleaverly' conspired by Byrd, tU.D, and myself was to fly.... Yea annnd we're driving.
So "Plan B" was to roll out at like midnight last night. Byrd didnt leave her spot til late *Ding* and thus the departure time changed to eh, 4am. So I'm thinking "Ok so cool leave at 4am, 14 hr ride, split in 3 shifts. 5, 5, 4 with me and tU.D taking the 5hr shifts, boom be there by mmm, 6pm". And then I remembered the timzone change so its "a 13 hr ride, split by 3, 4.5, 4.5, 4 boom be there by 7pm." Byrd walked in the door at 4am while *Ding* I, was already on the couch, passed out. *Ding* Somehow I call tU.D at 530a and hang up on him. I didnt remember doing this until later, so clearly I did this in my sleep. *Ding* 3 text messages then hit my phone from from tU.D between 6 and 7am *Ding*. No, he did not call Byrd *Ding* who was also, sleep by now. Lol. *Ding*. At 730 I finally heard the call [i was sleeping good] to which tU.D acted like he was ready to go and said he was on the way. So Byrd and I get up and we're ready by 745.....at 845 tU.D walks in *Ding Ding Ding*. And we have to go by his crib! *Ding Ding* We finally got on the highway at 930am and should arrive by 9pm Central Standard Time.
So yea our schedule took roughly a 5 hour "CPT" hit. The *dings* are the contributing factors to how we we took a "cleverly" planned schedule and followed it to a T...eh, U?... or a V?..ok definitely a Y. But at least we're on the road. LOL
And now...the alphabet game using foods...ready go "A...hmm...Aregano" LMAO 'Byrd did he really just say that?'.
I love my family, we may run on CP time, but they're always on time when I need them.
More to come...
