Tonight I made truffles to bring to my Grandpa who happens to have landed himself in the hospital this week. It’s frustrating to be so much closer this year, but still not close enough to feel a part of these important moments. I know, though, that I’ve got to be thankful for the weekends. So, yes, I will head to Virginia and spend some time catching up with Gram and then head over to see Gramp. I can’t wait.
The week has been quiet fast! Yesterday I arrived at the school and told myself, “Just pretend it’s a Monday.” I think it worked. 🙂 Suddenly, tomorrow is Friday.
Of course the apartment has been quiet with Bill still flying around Alaska. He has had an amazing journey this past week and a half – I think he’s averaging only about a day at each site. What a whirl wind! He’s got another week before he’ll be back in Brainerd – just in time to spend the weekend with Peyton and Jake – how fun! I’m trying to convince my dad to come stay, because the boys enjoy “Uncle Jimbo’s” antics as much as the rest of us. We’ll see…
“Diva’s” night was a nice distraction from my quiet evening routine. Sara grilled kabobs for us as a farewell to summer, and of course I got to envy her decorating ability. I’ve decided that if I truly want my place to look “homey”, I’ll have to hire a decorator. So, simplicity it is – though I have to admit I am loving the new duvet and curtains in our bedroom!
Work has been good. I’ve been struggling to get out of the building at a normal time seeing as there’s no one to rush home to. Today, though, I just made myself leave at 3:45. What a great feeling to have a whole evening to get non-work stuff done! I even got some more unpacking done… all the while thinking how completely ridiculous it is that we’re not completely unpacked. 😉 What’re you going to do?
Oh, enjoy your weekends, everybody! I wish you all good weather and plenty of relaxation!
Hi!
Glad to hear you’re keeping yourself busy while Bill is away. When does he get back? If you have another weekend and you’re looking for something to do, you should call me. We could meet in St. Cloud for lunch or something.
We’re just plugging away down here. I can’t believe we’re starting our sixth week of school Monday! Conferences are in a week and a half. That will be exhausting. I never really look forward to those long days, and this year will be especially bad because I won’t get home until well after Evan’s bedtime. Bah!
Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hello. Have a good weekend on the Range!
Hugs,
Melissa
