Back from vacation
So, after we got back from vacation, Jeffrey's family was in town. We spent the rest of the week doing things with them, which may sound like kind of a drag but it wasn't because Jeffrey's family are seriously the Sweetest. People. Ever! They're just so grateful for everything, and they adore me to pieces. And his son, Chris, kind of latched onto me and opted to go with me whenever we split up or did anything. He can be kind of fractious at times, and the last time we tried having him live with us it didn't work very well for a number of reasons, but there's still a bond between us, and I do love him dearly. And Jeffrey's sister is just one of the sweetest girls, and we went shopping together when she was staying with us before, watched chick flicks, squeed over boys on TV and in movies (she's a big Jensen Ackles fan - bigger than me, actually) and basically just had a really good time.
I was a little cranky at times, mainly due to being worried about money and not getting enough sleep (I was back to work, but also staying out late doing things with them) but mostly it was a good time.
Then they went home, and we brought Jeffrey's car in to have the brakes looked at, since they'd begun to scrape. Well, they were in bad shape and basically everything had to be replaced. So there went another $800. Yikes. Good thing I've been able to pick up overtime. But the highlight of last week was The Concert... Which I will post about next, because it TOTALLY needs its own entry.
