SO. This weekend was AMAZING.
Friday morning was stressful again, and the last couple hours in the afternoon were slow and torture... but then I was out, and it was blue-sky-sunny-beautiful and I had a handful of cherries and it was the weekend and life was beautiful. ...That was the only good thing about last week. This dude with a couple of cherry trees in the empty lot next to his house kept bringing baskets of fresh cherries in to share.
So anyway, I eat cherries all the way along the walk to my car, joyfully flinging stems and spitting seeds into the lawns and flower beds of various businesses. And then I drove my ass out of there, blasting the iPod, and stopping only to grab myself a Chalupa and Pina Colada from Taco Bell. It was a long pleasant drive, all sun-through-the-green-trees in the Coast Range, and I hit Newport just after sunset, so it was all soft-glowy and gorgeous, with that beautiful bridge arcing over the bay.
It wasn't hard to find Lauren's trailer; I said hi to her trailer-mate, dropped my stuff, and settled down for a snack of chicken strips, corn fritters, and Lauren's fresh-baked, fresh-picked, huckleberry-salmonberry tarts. We marathoned Red vs. Blue, seasons 1 and 2, then hit the sack around 1.
( So Saturday was EPIC and Sunday was FREAKING AWESOME; click to find out why. )
Today was actually not stressful. Maybe I'm getting the hang of this Multi-Case thing. Maybe I lucked out and got easy calls today. Maybe both. Anyway, it was nice. Hopefully the rest of the week will be like this. Anyway, NO WORK ON FRIDAY!!! :DDD So that's a good thing. I'm going to see about setting off/watching fireworks this weekend. Other than that, I'm planning on going NOWHERE all weekend. We can have some more travel shenanigans some other time. And we will~.
