This weekend my sister arrives -- so tonight is dinner with my sisters - tomorrow night I'll be staying at nearby sister's house -- with some activity durring the day.

So what are people doing this weekend?

Airshow!

Celebrating my baby's 15th birthday. He would prefer it didn't happen on a weekend because he wanted to get his learner's permit on his birthday. Don't know the plan yet.

Plans will involve staying inside A/C.

This weekend: Evidently, first I have planned a massive sobbing on the floor meltdown. No idea. Well, okay, actually I know what triggered it...found the docs I'd printed out to go to recording school in 2002. Except that my grandmother died that summer so I never got to go. So the papers are all excited about the courses I was going to take and the equipment I was going to get to use.

So, evidently I still wish I'd been able to go. And grieving my grandma, yup, there's that. But it must have been more than that, 'cause boy howdy was that a weeper. Stress about people in the house? Panic about the upcoming school year? Sadness over heartbreak and grief in the lives of friends and students? Who knows. But it all came out.

Organization is fraught with dangers, evidently. OTOH, my cables are sorted now.

Hope that's it and it was nice and cathartic, because the rest of my weekend plans include:

VACAY! Heading out for Santa Fe tomorrow after work. It's the Indian market, so it will be packed there, but we'll be mostly there for other stuff, Georgia O'Keefe museum, live music, green chile cheeseburgers.

We have work stuff sandwiching this trip, but that's okay, because whoo do we need a vacation. Hopefully we'll come back nice and renewed and ready for the school year.

Aw, Liese. Sometimes you just need a freakout. Yay for vacation!

I have no plans for the weekend, but need to hit a bookstore at some point, and do some job stuff. I got all of my other errands done today, I think.

Oh man, I want to hug you. But vacation! Awesome!

Yeah, I think that's probably it. It was just very startling because I otherwise felt pretty much fine. Probably hormones, too.

But thankfully, the Biscuit was here and came solicitously over to poke his nose at me, and was generally furry and helpful. And here are you invisible people.

Ooh, yeah, bookstore over vacation, too. Our little local bookseller does a good job, and I order all the Buffista authored books through there, but I am looking forward to wandering the stacks of a decently sized store, too. There'll be a good one right next to where our donors that we're going to visit live, so we can do that even before the official vacation bit starts.

I have a bunch of mailing to do. I want to practice with my camera a bit more before vacation, and try to cram some more Greek vocabulary into my brain.

Aside from that, cleaning, goofing off, and watching thunderstorms roll through.

A friend of mine was writing a study guide to Moby Dick and one of the study questions she wished she could have used would have gone approximately, " Now do you see why you need to read Shakespeare and the King James Bible?"

OTOH, my cables are sorted now.

See? Silver lining. I think.

VACAY!

Definite silver lining.
