my first real post in over a week. I really don’t want to go into why I stopped posting last week, except that…
- never forget where you’ve linked from, and
- my boss is way cooler than my old boss.
That said, last weekend was insane!!!!! Somehow I always conveniently forget that being with the whole family makes me crazy, and then I go do something like go to Edith’s graduation. I love my sister, and sometimes I even like her, but everything is just a freaking production with her. throw in a batch of miscommunication among us, Chad having a cold, and a day that went from chilly & threatening rain to bright sun, and it just goes from there. I ended up leaving early, having missed Edith walking, and Chad & I sat in a park for most of the afternoon, talking and destressing.
Next day, I was supposed to go to the Fremont solstice festival with Matt and/or to see David Sedaris with Kat, but I just didn’t feel like braving the bus or the crowds. 🙁 Cheryl came down from Mt. Rainier in the afternoon…with a sprained (I hope only sprained) ankle and a kitten. She crashed Sat. night, then took off Sunday morning. Chad & I stayed up really late that night, talking and talking and talking. it was a good thing. y’know, I think we’re gonna grow old together. (I said that to him, and his reply: “we already are.” hmmmm.)
dinner with mom & Elizabeth on monday – we paid, even tho we probably couldn’t afford it. but I really needed to be the adult.
which is as much as I feel like writing about all that stuff. I should probably write out the whole thing about Cheryl – kid from Denver who we met on her way to Mt. Rainier, but I don’t really feel like it now.
