woke up this morning and got fooled again
oh who am I kidding? The goal this morning was to read a bunch of diaries and then write my own brilliant entry describing my beach getaway AND I�d catch up on tons of work. Ha. And, as I�m out of the office tomorrow � working on assignment � and the day is slipping away I�m beginning to feel as if I�ll never update much less catch up on diaries. So, in brief, the last week of my life: - Slowly got over cold / flu � though congestion is hanging on w/ dear life
- finished most work needed to get done in order to relax on mini-vacation
- left town Saturday morning w/ K. at 11 a.m. � only an hour behind schedule!
- due to numerous detours, backtracking and bathroom stops, however, it took us nearly five hours (two more than anticipated) to get there
- For the next four days did a lot of sleeping, laying about and eating.
- Plus reading � lots of homework, I swear
- tons of TV
- and several walks on the beach
- oh and shopping � vintage clothing shops / thrift stores etc
- eventually got over disappointment that the beach was so damn sunny � hottest weekend of the year in fact � when we�d expected it to be cold and overcast
- Never mind that I brought three sweatshirts, three long sleeve shirts, three jackets and only one t-shirt and one sleeveless top.
- had good bonding time w/ K. � it�s been awhile since we�ve been able to hang out (what with school and all�.)
- missed the spouse of course but he was so nice about me taking this trip � probably because I�d been bouncing off the walls from sickness and work/school-fueled anxiety
- backtracking a bit: workshop on my story went pretty well. I didn�t leave there wanting to kill anyone. Well�almost�.Seriously, people pretty much nailed the problems I was having with piece, made good suggestions and offered nice compliments elsewhere
- now, back to the future. Got home yesterday and unpacked, did laundry, did more school reading and enjoyed being w/ spouse and cats
- GB is now sick w/ cold I had last week
- brought him fruit smoothie home at lunch today
- even though I honestly did tons of homework while on vacation I must still write three one-page response papers tonight
- sure I�m forgetting stuff but that�s all I can eke out at the moment. More on Friday, I hope. Smooches to everyone. Especially you.
