It was good! I had 5 days off and basically didn't do much.
Cleaned some of the house, got the backyard completely set up, looked at more houses with another builder, and did some grocery shopping. Other than that we laid around, read, finished watching Bloodline, sat outside and enjoyed the heat, BBQed and drank beer. It was great and I am so sad to be back at work today.
I'm scared it may have been a good one season and done thing, you know? Like, where do you go from THAT? I really felt for him too, but he was scary, and a sociopath - born one, or made into one.
Oh for sure he was scary and so creepy in some of his scenes! I googled season 2 and they said they are now at the point where they can really begin the story since you know why the siblings did what they did. I cannot wait!
theatre4life congrats on the house! Have you moved in already?
I worked Monday and Tuesday and am off the rest of the week. I am hanging out at home, cleaning and organizing. Our backyard is finally finished! So my recent purchases have all been for that! I stained the deck and my mom recovered my patio furniture, and I bought a deck box to finish it off! Oh! And I also got a misting sprinkler to cool is off when we are outside.
My annoyance is we found out Tuesday that they hired 5 new people to add to the 5 they already have for my job, in India. That doesn't look good for the rest of us, and since we are buying a new house, it has put a kink in my budget. It wouldn't be for at least another year and a half or so, and we are still getting a new house, but it will not be the one I had my heart set on.
We are also going to Europe in October! Unfortunately it's with MH's whole family but it should be ok since we won't be together all the time. And we were invited to a wedding in Ireland a year from today so we can start saving for that.
That's frustrating! I have had that happen to me with my Airmiles points, so I feel your pain. I hope it gets sorted out and you can soon look forward to Jamaica!
Gross. And I hate mingling. I just want to talk to the people I want to talk to, alright?!
This is me. I always feel awkward!
We are going to build a house and we got a quote of upgrades we wanted last night. :/ Time to start cutting things out. Some things I thought would cut costs, actually cost more. Wtf!?
I work 5a-1p. This morning I came to work and saw an invitation from our manager for a "Surprise." For 1pm. She doesn't like the fact that there are 2 of us who start so early, so she always schedules things late. Monday our team meeting went from 1-2:30, even though we had all morning where no one had meetings. Luckily, I had been warned to come in late from another co-worker, otherwise I would have been stuck here, tired with no lunch. We won't complain though, because then she will make a passive aggressive comment about start time. If you don't like it, then tell us to change it! Ok, that one was more of a long vent!
We got back from Las Vegas Thursday, then Friday I left with my parents to go see my aunt. They moved her into Palliative Care this past week.
We came home Saturday and MH had bought me flowers and made dinner for my birthday. We just walked Suits and hung out.
Yesterday, I felt like shit all day, so I just went to Costco then out to my parents for Father's Day dinner. I am recovering the cushions of my patio furniture, so mom helped me cut out my material for that.
I do not want to go to work this morning! I want another week off damnit!
Road tripping for the annual family reunion. Usually I look forward to it because we stay in a hotel. This year my mom bought a camper. So a three day camping weekend. I am indoorsy. Not happy about this at all.
Tonight I am finishing the laundry that H started and going for dinner and drinks with a friend.
Tomorrow we are cleaning the house and packing, then going to a BBQ at a friends.
Sunday we are going to Vegas!
Have fun in Vegas! Where are you staying?
Thanks! I plan on it! Lots of shopping, pool time, and drinks! We are staying at the Palazzo. I have heard good things, but haven't stayed there before, so I hope it's good!
It's SNOWING right now! Gross. Tomorrow is supposed to be high 70s though, so I guess yay for moisture?
Tonight we might go with some friends to this "Escape From..." Place where you and your team are locked in a room and you have an hour to get out by solving problems and clues.
Saturday we need to clean closets and clear all the junk out of the basement bathroom and do a run to the dump. Hopefully we will then be able to actually finish the bathroom so it is more than an empty shell. Also running stairs.
Sunday I might do a Mother's Day brunch at our place for MIL and my mom. Haven't quite decided yet.
Sounds like allergies! I didn't have them until last year, but they suck. I found that Visine allergy and Reactine or Claritin helped quite a bit when it was really bad.
Weekend was good here. Saturday we cleaned the house and I made some appetizers, then some friends came over and we watched the fight.
Sunday we did a 4 mile run in the coulee, which is basically 2 miles of hills and 2 miles of flat. I am so sore today! Dug weeds and sprayed as we went. We also finished season 5 of White Collar and I am impatiently waiting for season 6.
We got bad news about my aunt. She had been diagnosed in March with a spot of cancer on her lung. Now it's in her bones. It moved so fast. She goes to the cancer clinic today, but already knows it's terminal, it is just what treatment options, if any, she wants to do. 2015 can fuck itself as far as family health goes.
My aunt (dad's sister) has untreatable cancer that is moving quickly. My dad and I are supposed to be going to visit this weekend, but then my mom called and asked if I instead wanted to go with her next weekend. I feel I am missing something.
I was so fed up with work a couple weeks ago, I booked us a trip to Vegas in June, and it looks like we are now going to Europe in October with the whole in law family. Good thing we get along!
