From nothing to something!

Whew, it's been a crazy week since I last updated! I guess all it took was to complain that there was nothing to blog about and I got stuff! Ha!

Anyway, last Saturday... I did the library thing, then enjoyed a night out with someone I never get to see. Fantastic evening all around! Sunday, I played the part of my old Sully job and worked the Civil War event. It was kind of fun being there--even if it's not often, it keeps my toe in the history door. The rest of the week was spent getting my apartment in order. My parents and sister got here on Wednesday night. They moved her into Mason on Thursday morning, then dad came over with the furniture and we (by "we" I mean pretty much dad and Alex) got the furniture into my apartment. There was a period of about 5 minutes in which we were almost 100% certain that the couch wasn't going to fit through the door. It wouldn't fit right side up, but (for whatever reason) it fit upside down. Who knows. But now grandma's couch is in front of my TV until I figure out how to arrange the living room. I'd kind of like to keep both couches, but I'm not totally sure how that will work. I think I'd feel better if I got a slipcover for my old couch.

Anyway! I had yesterday off and really just bummed around with mom and dad. Went to breakfast, took them out to Manassas Battlefield so they could see all of the deforestation I caused (it's kind of cool to know that I'm responsible for a whole field of downed trees), and then went for lunch. I took the afternoon to hang out at home, put some clothes away, and read a book, then I went back out with mom and dad for dinner and coffee, watched some Olympics, and went to bed.

I'm librarying from 9-5 today, then going to dinner and shopping with the family. I won't see mom and dad again before they leave to go back to Ohio, since I'm funeraling from 9-5 tomorrow. I'm glad for that in a way, because then I don't have to see dad get all teary over leaving Hayley here! And THEN life kind of gets back to normal next week.

Unfortunately, next week means "normal" library hours in which my schedule turns to 11-7 or 2-10 during the week. Boo. It looks like I have Fridays off, at least for a couple weeks. That may switch to Mondays, but who knows? And, of course, I will be overworking myself by doing one day a week in which I funeral from 8-1 and library from 2-10. But that means more money, so I can't complain toooooo much (even though I will).

Ahhh, anyway. That's enough for now. I hopefully have an exciting month coming up with lots of "Dear Diary" moments. ;)
