i took some vacation time last week, and left on thursday to go visit my parents on the vineyard.
my gramma was down, as were her sisters (auntie ethel and aunt annie) and auntie ethel's friend roz and mom's friend helen. i got home just in time for dinner, which was, of course, delicious. the next day we went down to the park and had a picnic dinner before the FIREWORKS.
i love fireworks. honestly, very few things in this existence make me happy like fireworks make me happy. especially the vineyard's fireworks display. you're right up close, and they're so bright, so LOUD, so colorful. they put on an awesome show.
honestly, if i just pick any one job to have, i think fireworks technician would be the one i'd want. even if you're having a bad day, at the end of the day you still get to blow things up. it seems like the most satisfying thing ever.
the rest of the weekend i spent eating really good food (my parents are amazing cooks) and relaxing. went for a swim on saturday, but it wasn't that hot out so i didn't stay for long.
i had tried to get in contact with matt, but it was difficult as i no longer had his number. i ended up seeing him very briefly on sunday, right before i went back home to my cat.
