Apr. 20th, 2011 06:27 amMom has had her first of two consecutive days off from work yesterday. The two of us have been quite busy, first with a bunch of places we had to go to, and then with digging some holes alongside the house in the frontyard. If I had known I was gonna go for as long as I went without playing Pokemon Diamond (although that did also include watching an episode of Azumanga Daioh), I would have taken a moment to slather some honey on a tree on Route 212 before we left home. (Also glad that I'm not playing either of the Johto games right now, lest I have missed a PokeWalker opportunity.)
First stop was Dr. Mattimoe's office for that PPD that I was supposed to have gotten the other week. Not much to say there.
Next, to Costco. Mom gave me a few dollars to buy something to eat while she would go shopping. I bought myself a chicken bake and a Sprite. After I finished eating, I went to meet up with Mom, and she had me try on some kind of shirt to swim in, so that I don't get sunburned.
Did some more foodshopping at Waldbaums. Mom had me get rid of as much recycling as I could that didn't get accepted by the machines at Target the previous day. While I was at it, I had to get someone to empty the bins in the glass machine. Even after that was taken care of, though, I still couldn't get rid of everything, because the machines only accept certain brands, and there was even one beer bottle with a missing label. Probably has something to do with which companies each store does business with, but in any case, Mom had me leave what we still had behind outside the entrance in a cart.
Went to Patchogue, where Mom picked up a spatula and a shower curtain liner at some store, and also dropped off a few things at the thrift store.
When we got back home, we discovered that a package containing my red-and-black Nintendo DS (back from repair services) had been dropped off by the front door. Turned it on, it asked me to configure the settings and enter a nickname (using an on-screen keyboard with the stylus), and it was no hassle at all. What better timing to receive it back. Right now, I've just received the Relic Badge, which will enable me to use HM Surf, so I'm soon going to spend a few days waiting around at Route 221. What better way to fill that time up than to have the game interact with my copy of Pearl and unlock Spiritomb on Route 209. (I still haven't established a secret base underground, but when I do, I'll have the two games play capture the flag with each other so as to enable more decorations to be placed in them.)
Anyway, then that we were home, Mom had me dig the aforementioned holes to plant some small bushes in. Also had to rake some leaves out from what was already there, but came inside before I bagged the last pile. Mom then remembered that Christine was supposed to meet with me, and had me call her. Turns out that she had called us while we were gone, but she told me that she'd come ASAP. Showered off right away, bagged the last pile of leaves up, waited around for her for a bit, and then watched the aforementioned AD episode. She came while it was still running, and we did the usual routine of having me sign something and looking on Craigslist for jobs.
Took care of digging the four holes near the house after she left and I finished watching that episode. After everything was taken care of, I spent the entire evening battling Trainers on Route 213 and in the Seven Stars Restaurant before slathering a honey tree at around 9:30.
This morning, I woke up at 3:30 to use the bathroom and have something to drink, and then decided to check said honey tree. Just a Wurmple, but I did slather the tree again after knocking it out. Probably gonna check it again after I fight today's set of trainers at Seven Stars, so I suppose this could compensate for the opportunity I missed yesterday.
