Weekend Wrap Up

Here we are at Sunday! Oy! What a weekend! 

1. Wedding rehearsal Friday night. It was where we used to live - an hour + away. We stopped for dinner on the way up, which was nice. Did the thing, and then hit the road for home. 

2. Arrived home pretty late and about three minutes before K4. Her and That Boy came home to stay. He has a job starting Tuesday and they're resting here while they get their ducks in a row. There was a ton of activity unloading vehicles (K3 & S went to help), and our house quickly filled up with stuff. It's slowly being whittled down and put away and I know we'll have a little chaos for a bit. And it's going to be weird having two more adults in the house. 

3. Slept in a little Saturday. Then up and getting stuff done before making the drive again. 

4. Wedding was nice. Hot, but nice. Between her son, her man, and us, we managed to surprise her by helping to plan her son coming in to walk her down the aisle. We've been in contact with him for the past month making plans and passing info. It was a really sweet moment. And yeah, I cried. 

It started pouring five minutes before the time to start, and continued for a long time. Long enough that plan B was put in motion and everything was moved inside. And of course, then the sun came out. It was hot and no ac in the building. But still, it was good. 

5. Left there and stopped to pick up B. Came home to change, get the air conditioner going in the spare room, and then he wanted to go to dinner at the same place we went to Friday. The hostess laughed because she recognized us. 

6. Grocery store. Taking B with us makes the end total so very much more. But whatever. It was, again, late when we got home. 

7. B hung out with his aunt playing video games for a while. We had root beer floats and watched stupid tv while it stormed. And went to bed so very late because we got hung up on a weird show. 

8. Slept in this morning. Or not really since we went to bed so late. Hung out with B, ran some errands, did some yard work and now it's now. 

I haven't gotten much writing done this weekend. Gee...I wonder why? Ha! Almost through the craziness and writing will be front and center going forward. I have two projects to edit, and two to write. (Actually three to edit, but that one's going to wait a bit)

Back to the day job tomorrow. That Man said he'd gift me some vacation time if I need a few days to get writing done and I'll likely be taking him up on that very soon. 

Behave! 

Feel Good Friday!

It's pretty much crazy-o'thirty now. Well, maybe a few more minutes of calm before the chaos begins. 

Here's the list:

1. Having a great time hanging out with the ladies last night. We swam, sang, ate, laughed, and talked a bunch. 

2. Maybe sleeping in a little tomorrow. It's going to be a late night tonight. 

3. Making progress on the four horsemen story. I have notes, and ideas, and notes. 

4. After Tuesday coming, our obligations should slow down considerably. Which is good because I absolutely need to write as much as humanly possible. 

5. It's hot. Which is not feel good, but it is what it is! I cannot believe we're almost through July though! 

Behave!

Weekend Off Rails!

So our aunt and uncle ended up coming in this weekend. We all knew it was a possibility...well, not for this weekend. We'd talked about catching a show together on a different weekend. Then... crickets... Until Friday afternoon. 

We rearranged our plans, not that we had many beyond pulling weeds and household chores, and headed to my sister's to wait for their arrival. They finally showed up hours later than expected, but whatever. 

A lot of the family came Saturday to hang out. It was a blast. More family came Sunday (and the Saturday family came back) and it was also a blast. It was so good to hang out with everyone. It made me remember how much I adore my family. We always have a great time and there's a ton of laughter.

Thanks to super cool bosses, That Man and I were able to take off work Monday and Tuesday. My brother came back Monday and we all went to dinner, which was fun.  

We packed up and hit the road for home early Tuesday morning and spent the day trying to catch up on the stuff we'd abandoned Friday. 

Our poor puppy got her nail stuck in the heater vent in the camper Sunday night and ripped it out--like completely ripped off the quick. She's still in pain, but she seems okay. I'll call the vet if it stops being okay. 

Besides being exhausted, it was a really great weekend. It's unlikely our aunt and uncle will come back this way again anytime soon. It's a lot for them and our uncle's mobility is not great. 

I'm also doing some edits on my four horsemen story. It's going to be a lot of work, but I'm hopeful I can push it to the next level. I'm also waiting for critiques of the old lady story and will start subbing that as soon as I get those changes done and a synopsis written. I'm pretty sure I can balance working on both. 

Today started another round of craziness for us. We had a work event, which was fun and luckily I managed to almost get caught up before it started. (That Man didn't, but I'm not sure he's ever caught up). Then tomorrow I'm heading to a friend's house to organize a meal train for another friend having surgery. These ladies did the meal train for me after my surgery and it was much appreciated and humbling 

Then Friday we have a wedding rehearsal. That Man is walking the bride--who is the sister of his best friend that passed away. The wedding is Saturday and then we're picking up B. Sunday is an event involving roller skates and derby type stuff--don't worry, it's not me. And then things should settle down again. Ha! 

I cannot believe it's almost August! 

That is all! 

Behave! 

Feel Good Friday!

Holy cow we made it to Friday! 

What a long week! 

Here's my list:

1. Rain. That was nice. It can stay away for the weekend though. 

2. The temperatures predicted to be cooler. 

3. Sleep. 

4. Being caught up (for now) at the day job. 

5. Writing time and making progress not just with actual words, but with story content. I hope to make serious progress this weekend. 

It's not a long list. Obviously. 

That's all! 

Behave! 

Mid Week...

It's raining! Yay! 

What a hot week so far! And busy! 

I've gotten writing done. And weeding. And laundry. And I'm making a cake for one of the guys at work. (Birthday tomorrow) Among a dozen other things. 

The day job has been hectic and there's no signs of that ending. 

That's about all I have for now. I'm tired and the air conditioning in our room is calling to me. 

Behave! 

Weekend Wrap Up

Here we are at Sunday evening again... 

Waiting for the rain to come in. It would be nice if it cooled things down, but even if it does rain, it'll likely turn the air even more into swamp-like. Ugh. 

Saturday came too early. We headed down the road to procure K5's birthday gift. That went awesome and we got exactly what we wanted. A stop at the store...well, three of them... and then home. It was too hot and gross to work outside, so we did some inside stuff. And I wrote. 

Today was errands. Took a little longer than we wanted, but whatever. Got home and weeded two flower beds that were looking shabby. Well, let's be honest, everything looks shabby. Those weeds are taking over. Transplanted some lavender and other things. Hopefully avoided the poison ivy. Cleaned the dust off the front porch. Laundry, sheet washing, and an amazing dinner. 

Writing. And now it's now. Still waiting on the rain. And no nap today. Though I did sleep in a bit this morning. 

This week is a busy one. Well, the next three weeks are busy with both work stuff and home stuff. But hopefully we'll be able to take K5 out to dinner early this week to give her the present. 

That is all. 

Behave! 

Feel Good Friday

I don't really have much today... Yay, it's Friday.

I'll try though...

1. A little bit of sleeping past the usual alarms tomorrow. 

2. Making really good progress on Daisy last night. 

3. Excellent dinners - we managed to pull off two pretty darned good dinners this week. Just stuff we kind of made up and with lunch leftovers. 

4. Porch sitting.

That's all. 

Behave!
