Oh, here you are!
Aug 5th
No I didn’t forget ya, I’ve just been busy and distracted. Here’s how the last week went.
Thursday Mom called to tell me my cousin Jackie died unexpectedly. Well not that unexpectedly as I had noticed she was posting hospital testing comments on Facebook. I feel bad that I didn’t pay more attention before it was too late to commiserate. Apparently she went to her local Michigan hospital thinking she was having a heart attack and they sent her to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Nine days later she was gone in her sleep. Something to do with Amyloidosis. I’m clueless about what that is.
Friday night #evfn at Whole Foods was fun. LaDawn and I went to Yucca Tap Room but after a drink and a game of pool I pretty much dumped her there. I had too much to do and didn’t feel well anyhow.
Saturday I spent the day packing the last of my stuff and in the afternoon Casey and bunch came over to move the heavy furniture. They said they’d move it all so I left to go have my…
Debbie’s Naked Pool Party. Seriously. Excellent. Party. I had three ciders and no problem getting naked. Good friends, good party and we even recorded a show during it.
I came home to my new apartment to find that no, in fact they did NOT move everything else after all. So Sunday Ginnie and I schlepped back and forth looking for house keys and then finally packing as much crap as I could into my car before Casey and bunch came back to move the rest…
While I drove to Phoenix to bail Max out of jail. Long story I really can’t go into, but I just paid the bail and left him to find his own way home hours later.
By Sunday night – between the moving and the stress and the humidity and the dust – I was really struggling to breathe so I ended up at the VA emergency room Monday morning. I might post more about that fiasco later. A couple of albuteral treatments and I’m just fine.
Monday night I went over to CJ’s to record their show (the first half is about Star Trek TNG/the second half about their life) about our trip together to SDCC.
I think I finally have my new apartment mostly put together. I need a few things like shelves and plug thingies. Most of the sockets in this apartment are two-prong sockets, which poses a problem in our three-prong electronic world. Easy fix, just gotta do it.
Whew, I think we’re all caught up. SmallChild and her cousin are here and we’re watching Ella Enchanted for I think the 615th time.
This Week With SmallChild
Jul 28th
I missed her little face over the weekend, what with my friend CJ constantly lamenting how she missed her kids while at #SDCC. So I went and stole her Monday afternoon. We decided to go see Despicable Me on Tuesday morning before I gave her back.
Cute story: We stopped for gas and drinks before the movie and Kira picked out a bottled juice drink. We were quietly standing in line to pay when she says, “Grammi, this is gonna make me kuh-razy!” She’s pointing at the bug-eyed creature on the label of her drink. “Kuh-raaaaaa-zy!” and a little butt wiggle.
I loved Despicable Me. Of course I laughed at inappropriate times, like when Gru pops some kid’s balloon and at the black smoke coming out of every one of his vehicles. I got a couple of dark looks from the other adults in the theater. I guess mine IS an evil laugh.
Then just as the movie climax was coming Kira decides she can’t wait (literally) seven frikking minutes to go to the bathroom, so I missed how they get the moon back into space.
I want a minion. Seriously.
After the movie (and some Cox business I’ll bitch about later) we wandered down to the splash pad and I let her get soaked in her clothes. I hadn’t thought that far ahead and brought a change or a towel. Oh well.
Fun day. Great kid.
