ianukFriday was good. Work was fulfilling and I left early. I got my toes done, groceries bought, catfood/litter bought, even through a thunderstorm. Got home and started cleaning and organizing stuff for saturday's trip. Then after a rest we headed to Cos and Ellie's going away party. We were the first non family to arrive and it was nice to sit and chat. Had a few guiness which mixed way to nicely with the singular...I was very sleepy and we were home by 1030pm. Got up the next day and got the truck packed, breakfast ate in good time for folks heading to ME Feast. The drive was good. We made good time, even with pregnant potty breaks. Got to site just after mel and that was good. I did not dance as much as I should have. There was way to much skin showing on folks that shouldn't be showing that much skin..to steal a quote "ME does not mean HOOCHIE!" Got done and we then travelled to Papago Brewery with a small crewe. It was a very good time, good beer and conversation and a very lickable..ahem likeable waiter. Got on the road with some thermos coffee and minus a crazy truck driver in Tucson things went well. I got home and was in bed about 11am.
Sunday I got up early and biked a bad ride. My legs and body were just too tired to push hard, especially after a week of suck. Eh. Had joe's and then got home and went shopping very quickly and started on the final cleaning. It went well and I was done 2 hours before the party. I got a shower and was reading a book when raylee and Candance showed up early. They helped with the chopping of veggies and it was good. Everyone was very ontime and we had nummy food and fun. Poor![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
archer64 got assaulted by estrogen but I think he took it well and he left some beer. Though he really should have tried the food. I'll have photos up sometime today I hope. Meg made out like a bandit and cora is gonna be a very cute dressed baby. All good. Everyone left after a bit of clean up about 530 and I relaxed the rest of the evening. Mel got home about 1215. I snuggled back to bed when he got into the shower and slept wonderfully. We awoke with the alarm and snuggled for an extra one. Mel was smart and didn't bike in today but we had a leisurely discussion while getting lunches packed up and coffee. The coffee tower was still piping hot.
Got breakfast in the cafe today since I was a dork and forgot to grab breakfast. Obsidian is now eating almost all of her food and butterfly is leaving it sit. I think they've had a mild tummy uck after going to the vet and they have also been eating lots of bugs as evidenced by the roaches I keep finding disemboweled in the hall. If it keeps up for much longer then I will see the vet but it looks like the sisters are both recovering well. Should be a good day.
EDIT FOR FRIDAY One thing I did forget to mention is that my Uncle Charlie passed away on Friday. The funeral is today in St. Louis. Mom was conveying messages through Rob on IM. Looks like the flowers were a hassle but things were going okay. Gonna miss charlie and his sarcasim...such a funny guy on a weird level.

He hadn't been doing too good in recent years but he had a full life and now he joins my aunt who I'm sure will be happy to see him. My cousin beverly wondered if I wanted my aunt's 2 sewing machines and I said YES!!! I know she bought good ones. Mom's gonna drop ship them to me. Just wish I was there but we couldn't quite swing things due to the shower yesterday and other stuff...mom understood and was okay about that.
