Vacation Off To Good Start

[mandysee_mandydo]

o far so awesome! I've had to do a little tiny bit of work but otherwise it's nice. It'll be even nicer when the realization sinks in that this isn't just a long weekend and that I still have six more days off after today.

Saturday we got to hang out with ciliandis for a while and decided to go to The Basin. The weather was actually nice for that portion of the day! Afterward we did some chores and such but it was nice to not have to get everything done before Monday. We ran into Ben while getting ready to do laundry and found he needed someone to help him move. We offered to help, which was nice to be able to do. We stayed up far too late that night just goofing off.

Sunday morning I slept in and skipped church again. We did eventually go there before going to help Ben move because we needed to drop off the two boxes of games for the yard sale. Then we went to help Ben move and managed to get everything in the truck in one load, which was cool. One hour later he had everything at his temporary digs and we parted ways so he could go run errands and we could go get ready for company. quantumswordsmn, chenoachem and Helena showed up later in the evening and we had a nice time just hanging out chatting, listening to music and going for a walk. Once again we stayed up far too late.

Today so far has been interesting but definitely good! I ran my payroll in to work, then went to the post office to check the mail for a possible hearing date on my name change and to mail something out to ciliandis. I did a little work for Bristol and called about the equipment on order. I also called Grafton Probate Court about my name change and found out that they had to review to see if there was any conflict and that everything checked out, so now it's just a matter of scheduling the hearing. That's the sticky wicket. They're apparently really booked for hearings right now and likely won't get to mine until September. *sigh* Oh well. At least now I know what's going on, so that's better than being in limbo for over three weeks. It'll hopefully be in time for my birthday so I can celebrate both together. As soon as I got home I received a call from chenoachem. Their plans had changed due to the lovely weather we're not having here and so they wanted to come over for a visit, which was certainly a most welcomed surprise! They brought breakfast with them so we had fun sitting on the kitchen floor eating breakfast and playing with Helena. After breakfast we went for a walk and painted_wolf took us for a tour of Boyd Science Center. Then we returned home for a little more visiting time and fun with the bubble gun (Helena loved the bubbles) before they had to leave.

The rest of the day is completely wide open. I'm not sure what we're going to do, except that grocery shopping should probably be involved somehow at some point. Otherwise I suspect there will be a lot of chilling out and not much of anything. We may watch one of the many movies that friends have loaned to us so we can start returning them.

Tomorrow we'll be having dinner with quantumswordsmn and chenoachem. Wednesday is a day with quantumswordsmn and the Dead-A-Thon (yay for consecutive Evil Dead movies!) at Sarah and Randy's place. Thursday morning is therapy but nothing else is scheduled that day.Beyond that there are no real plans beyond planning to not plan at all, which is still planning. It's kinda like that Rush song, only instead of choice substitute the word plan. I would like to get at least one day of swimming in, but it seems the weather is going to be difficult about that.
