Today I headed north towards Payson. I went to complete the switcharoo with my mom and sister. Exchange my step dad and two lil sisters for my other lil sister. We headed back right after the exchange. So very tired but an all around productive day.
So, before I completed my mission of the day. We stopped at a gas station. Stumbling half-asleep out of the car I passed two young guys in a box car (also known as a Scion). They stopped and looked up at me as they fumbled with their license plate. One said "hello", the other smiled. I smiled and walked on. Just cute. I thought. On the way out the smiling one asked me if I was Native. I nodded my head and got back in the car. As we pulled away, I saw him in the rear view mirror standing there with his hand up.
I had an interesting chat with the sis on the ride back. Seems that we are both at a crossroads or a better term would be a ten car pile up in our lives. Things over the past two years haven't exactly panned out for us. We just continue on though. What else is there to do? Yeah I went through the stages of being a complete idiot and now I'm ready to actually start making changes. Physical ones not just the verbal changes.
Here's to change.
