I'm so bored.
Today was my late day. I had plans to have coffee with D but it didn't happen. She ended up getting called in to help administer tests at the school where she is an art teacher. I didn't expect that we'd meet up anyway. She is a dear friend of mine but I expect her to cancel 90% of the things we do together.
Instead, I slept in, cuddled up to my sweetie. After FINALLY getting out of bed, I went to get my hair cut. I'm not sure if I like it. Isn't it always that way after you get your hair cut? I had other things to do but they will have to be done another time. In Minnesota you can drive without getting your new tabs up to 10 days after they expire, I've got until May 10. I'll just renew the movies we rented from the library.
Tuesday my sister and mother came over to give A his birthday present. My sister got him a surfing t-shirt (she plans on taking him with her to go surfing in California). My mother bought him a razor. This was funny because on Monday, I had a conversation with him because I noticed whiskers sprouting on his chin. I was amazed at how maturely he talked about shaving. In the past he's gotten embarassed and quits talking but Monday he spoke of wanting an electric razor instead of using the blades. My mother and sister kept competing with each other for attention, it made me dizzy. My mom whom arrived first, also left first. She whispered to me something about getting out without causing a fight between my sister and herself. R and E showed up as well to pick up and drop off some stuff for the garage. We all had cupcakes and chocolate chip ice cream.
Wednesday P made dinner, it was so yummy. I also was a little freaking out in my mind with coming home to dinner on the table. She's so good to me. My dad and his partner P were going to come out. I thought it was 7pm but they showed up at 8pm. It was a lot quieter visit than the night before. My dad got A another surf t-shirt and some organic chocolate bar. We measured the boy on the wall, he grew at least another inch in the last 3 months, I think he's just short of 6 feet now.
P's gone for the night. She had some errands, missed her cat and was going to get together with her boy. She'll be back tomorrow but I miss her today. Tomorrow we're hoping to have a campfire in the driveway. Saturday we don't have anything planned during the day but we will have the boy. Saturday night we're going to mother's house (her birthday is on the 23rd) and I'll be bringing over supper things for burritos and the like. Sunday is church and probably another stop off at P's city house for more things.
She has been talking about how she has a lot on her mind. I think she's probably a worry wart (I can get this way sometimes too). I wish she would talk to me about what's on her mind, except I know that it's not her natural way of being. I wish there was something I could do, but I wouldn't likely let out my stress either. Sometimes talking about stuff doesn't always help. I sometimes get the sense that she's trying to "protect" me from what's in her head. I don't want to be protected, it's treating me like less than, as if I couldn't handle it.
Another week of work before the following week will be a weekend in the WI country with friends. B's father has a cabin and that's where we're going. I can't wait. I feel like we haven't had a chance to talk to those folks in a long time. After this weekend, there will be 3 weeks left of work before I have 2 months off.
I've also got a couple of book reviews to write before May 1st. I don't want to do it by then....I've got spring fever. I just want to lie around outside and do fun things.
I should go though, I want to apply to a job and I have to get my cover letter done.
this week,
stress,
life,
family,
job,
next weekend,
love
