Hi, Ho!

[dodger_sister]

I didn't want you guys to think I had fallen off the face of the Earth! Or, more likely, that I was sick or something. No, instead I have just been really busy. Sis is off work this week, her stay-cation week, her week of rest, her week to stay home and live the dream of doing nothing. Saturday she actually stayed in her pjs all day and basically did nothing. We watched a ton of TV and she played her video games and lazed around. Sunday, unfortunately, she always has to run all the errands. She does all our errands, all of Mom's errands and all of Dad's errands, including all the grocery shopping. Not so much rest that day. On Monday we had some time set aside to work on my cosplay - Brother's having a costume party! - and take me to PT, but otherwise, a chill day. Except, apparently, Sis was done resting! Cuz I wake up on Monday and she is like, "Uh, I invited hiyacynth and Munchy P to come visit. They'll be here this evening." Which, AWESOME - I'd been bugging them about coming! Otoh, 'resting' - Sis keeps using that word, I do not think it means what she thinks it means. And we had already arranged to have The Niece for a few days, as Brother and Sis-In-Law wanted some alone time for SIL's birthday and The Nephew is at camp this week.

So, basically, it boiled down to this: Saturday, rest. Sunday, errands. Hiyacynth and Munchy (age 4) here from Monday evening until Thursday morning. The Niece (age 2 1/2) here from Wednesday afternoon until Saturday afternoon. BFF here Wednesday afternoon and evening. Little Girl Cousin (age 11) here from Thursday morning until Friday afternoon. Monday, PT. Wednesday, PT. Friday, pain clinic appt. Saturday, Brother's costume party. Sunday, catch up on last week's TV with Sis. Monday, eye doctor appt all day. Tuesday, catch up on my last week of TV watching. Wednesday, PT. Thursday - The Rest Of My Life, sleep.

But, no, it's been TONS of fun!! The first time Niece has stayed here without her brother, so bedtime is a screaming fit for about 10 minutes for Brother, Mommy, Daddy. She actually does this every time, it's just her brother is usually here and being the good kid that he is, he stops what he is doing and helps tuck her in and stuff. Otherwise, she's been all smiles, she is so fricking cute! I have a lot stories to share too, but for now just wanted you to know where I was and all. Hope your weeks are all going good too!

It was hectic, for sure! But yes I did and yes I did - had fun and survived! I haven't had that busy a week in months, maybe years, but it was loads of fun, indeed. :)

I keep adding more and more Dean icons and they're pushing everyone else out. :>)

the dream of doing nothing

"Doing nothing" is my rare, blissful happy place. :)

Indeed. Even if you are doing something - watching TV, reading a book - it is still doing nothing and is wonderful. I love full days without a single obligation at all - there is nothing like it. :)

Sounds like an amazing (but exhausting!) week; thank you for letting us know you are all good.

It was kind of like my sister was trying to pack her entire summer into one week - and maybe she was - but I survived and enjoyed the hell out of myself! It was especially wonderful to have so much time with The Niece, as I usually end up hanging with The Nephew when they are here and now I feel like The Niece and I have made a connection, like she asks to talk to me on the phone now and stuff, so that is wonderful! :)

Very cool.

Hmmm, if that is her idea of resting. :D

It sounds like it was a great week, though.
