I’m still not fully recovered from this past weekend. Travel lag sucks @$$. Seriously. Picked up Scamp and Puppies Friday evening. The puppies were nervous at first, but they settled themselves down after a while and their only concern was when I got out and had to fuel up (mainly, they didn’t want me to leave the car =..=). When we got to the Nexus, they got out and used the bathroom and then we went inside, and they would do this thing where, whenever I would move, they would bark. We kind of thought it might be because they were afraid I was leaving...
Saturday was a dragging day. That morning, about 3 am, a big storm blew through, with thunder loud enough to shake my walls. The dogs are afraid of thunder and the dark, and it wasn’t like we could sleep anyway, so Scamp and I got up and tried to ride it out. It wasn’t that big of a deal when they saw we were calm and we had turned some lights on. We both went back to bed, and the next morning was just…laziness. We did nothing but watch movies, when we had planned on straightening up the house and all. No! I did get most of the laundry done…so that was something. Unfortunately the dogs continued on their annoying habit of barking at me every time I moved. It got old very quickly. Luckily, we weren’t moving that much.
Mom and Dad finally got home...they’d had a bit of footage on Zeiss. Turns out they decided not to buy the land they actually went there for because of there were just too many restrictions. But they did put a bid down on a house and some land there and that was what they had to show us. It was a nice house with 6 ½ acres of land. After watching it, Mom turns to me and says, “So what do you think?” I nod and say “It looks nice.” And she says, “We were thinking, maybe we could give you this house and we could build our own!” and I was like, “Uh..no.” no offense or anything, but this is land and a house they put money down for. I was in no way involved with the decision, so I don’t see why I should get stuck with a house they don’t even really want. Maybe that’s conceited, but I’m making a bunch of sacrifices for this move anyway. I’d like it if I could have as many choices.
Sunday, I woke up around 8 and went down stairs..and was greeted by loud barking. I squatted down and let Sandy smell me, but Teeshut would not be satisfied. He even bit me…twice. That’s when the barking became too much. Scamp calmed the dogs down and we both proceeded to get ready to go to Reiko’s house. We gated the bathroom and put the dogs there, and left as they screamed for us not to. After a 2 hour drive we arrived and we all went to lunch at Catfish Charlie’s in Harahan. It was a great meal and we got day-old biscuits to feed the ducks and turtles that were in the lake on the back deck. Then we went back to the house and watched another episode of Supernatural. J10 left for work early, and after finishing the episode we were on, we all went to the World Market in the Covington/Mandiville area. We stocked up on snacks from Japan (arigato!) and then we went down to Baskin Robins, which has become a tradition.
Meanwhile, J10 started calling Reiko on my phone, because he had hers. And he kept asking where she was and when we wouldn’t answer, he’d leave these dorky messages pretending to be an insecure boyfriend/stalker. We get in Baskin Robins and Reiko hands the phone back to me. It rings a couple times and each time I pick it up, there’s nothing but silence. At one point I say “Dude, there’s a kid in here. I can’t cuss you out, so stop calling.” The Baskin Robins girl told me to go ahead, they needed something to talk about later after all. Once the kid finally left, J10 called again, and I paused while I watched the kid walk away and then I got loud and say, “OK! The kid’s gone! I can cuss you out now!” There was a big guy at the counter, and when he heard that, he laughed and shook his head. It was funny. A minute later, after I’d handed the phone to Reiko, she starts saying “What do you mean, you can see me? You can’t see me!....sitting by the…how do you know I’m sitting by the window!?” and he pulls up into the drive-through =..= Twas funny though. Reiko says, “…it’s like he’s stalking me!” and I said, with sarcastic enthusiasm, “I know! This morning when you got out of the bathroom, he was there!” and she was like, “Yeah! In the bed! And his clothes were everywhere!” So we all ended up having ice-cream together. I thought it was funny ^..^
Then we went back to Reiko’s house and finished watching Supernatural. After that, we headed back home. It was early, but there were so many delays…we really didn’t get home early. The puppies were very happy to have their mom back, and Scamp took them out and had cuddles with them. Teeshut started with that barking every time I moved again, and he would rush towards me like he was going to bite me again, so I started rushing back at him and yelling “SHUTUP!!” at the top of my lungs…I find it works really well. In fact, Teeshut acts like he’s a bit frightened of me now, which doesn’t really bother me overly much.
Monday was a blur. I don’t remember anything that happened, I was just so very tired. I still am, but not as bad as Monday. I hardly talked at work, so the girls knew something was up. My left arm was killing me too. Scamp and I were thinking it might be because I carried a bunch of stuff around Sunday on that shoulder. What I do remember, besides the pain, is the premier of Bones. God, but I had missed that show. I can’t wait till the 3rd season comes out…along with the 3rd season of Supernatural. Although with the writer’s strike and how short those seasons were, I don’t know if they intend to lengthen them or…not. /shrugs.
Oh, and while I had been out coasting through work, Scamp cleaned up my house a bit and got my headphone-mic to work on world of Warcraft. She also worked my Rogue, Toxeus up to level 9.99. I got so tired last night that I was a little loopy. I slept hard last night too. But I’m still tired…though that’s not anything unusual.
I guess that’s all for now. I mean, lunch time is over and I can’t think of what else to write….sounds like good enough reason to stop to me! Later, sunshines.
