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!
