I hate my life. My ears won't stop ringing.

On the plus side, I've had the first really good day with Shane that I've had in a long, long time.

Last night we planned to go to the beach at seven AM, but both of us were really sick. When he called me, I told him that I didn't want to go because of how shitty I was feeling.

Then I was already kind of awake and not really feeling like going back to sleep, so I go to call him back and midway through the phone call I decide not to go again. Then he signs on, and I start to tell him what happened with, "I called you because I changed my mind." It just kind of got left at that, so I went.

And it was amazing. I saw live dolphins for the first time, and found some really cool shells unlike any we have at home that I'm going to send back to my mom and sister. Also, Shane caught a sail cat (which is apparently -1 on the fish counter), but I'd never seen one of those, either. Then on the way back I found a live Florida Fighting Conch! He was really ugly, but looked like he could use some help, so I walked out into the surf (which is a very brave thing to do, mind you, since it's so murky and there are a million sharks) and put him out in it. Even cooler than that, we saw a baby sea turtle scuttle out into the ocean. I've never seen one of those before. And also I saw live tortoises, which was weird. They were gopher tortoises and they were really cute.

On the way home from the beach, we decided to stop at Wendy's for food, and the best thing ever happened. While finishing up our meal, the manager comes over and hands us two coupon booklets for 52 free double stack sandwiches (two patties, cheese, ketchup, mustard, pickles and onions) that don't expire until August 30, 2009. It was very lucky, and quite exciting. :)

We got one each and went home, ate them, and took a nap. And now, even though the both of us were sick, I think we're going to go down to the waterfront and try the crazy water teeter-totter. :P

It's been a good day. I'm glad it's not over yet. <3
