dancerjodiWe had a very nice weekend at the Griffin Grove Inn. As usual we enjoyed Nyla's amazing cooking, nude trips out to the hot tub, hiking in the woods and good conversation. New additions for this trip included a full-body massage (mmmmm) and making music and dancing around the fire pit. I decided to bring my zills with me since they haven't had much use (of course I haven't done much with them before so unfortunately their clanging was a bit repetitive at times).
B and I spent the our evening talking about many things - live, love, jobs, people, etc. Coming back from that place always makes us very reflective because we're able to have true relaxation and forget about some of the crap back at home. When we get back however it seems like we're bombarded. For example:
I learned from catching up with a week's worth of newspapers that:
-There was a carjacking around the block from our house
-There were some more bank robberies in the next town over
-Some 72 year old guy from the town was arrested for repeated child rape
-The stupid fire department ripped open the wrong car when doing an exercise where they were testing the use on the jaws of life.
I love our house but aren't too hot about the neighborhood (and my opinions seem to get better at some times and worse at others). I really miss my hometown, I'm jealous of all of the things they have there that we don't have there. Don't get me wrong, I'm really excited that we were able to buy a house period and that we have oodles of space and character . . . I just don't like living somewhere that I'm not comfortable walking around at night.
My Nana may have leukemia - she's going in for tests this week I guess. Her white blood cell counts are really high.
These poor bunnies are once again homeless http://www.djeugenius.com/bunnies/ . The male (black and white) is named Carlos and his chickie-pooh is Nina (my Nephew named them). They were abandoned at the pet store that my bro and his GF bought them at. GF wasn't able to take care of them so my sister took them. My sister had them in a small cage and they didn't have any hay, B and I remedied that. But my sister's roommate is awfully allergic to them so now they are on my parent's front porch (which isn't a good solution, the cold of winter would kill them). I called the House Rabbit Society and left a message, though they have so many rabbits to find homes for so I'm not getting my hopes up. What will probably happen is B and I will take them and they'll live in my craft room until we can find a good home for them where they can stay, for good. They are really good bunnies, I'd love to keep them. But we don't pay enough attention to the 2 that we have and our diabetic cat as it is. And I *am* allergic too, 2 bunnies is probably more than I should have anyway. If you know anyone that wants 2 bonded (spayed, neutered) rabbits around a year old and can give them a good home please let me know.
But on a positive note:
Yay, Yikes is here! Congratulations guys :)
We'll be getting a free hot tub that was abandoned in a friend's back yard a year ago. I'm sure there will be some damage since its been sitting for so long but we're hoping that if the tub is OK getting the rest operational wouldn't be a big deal. Can't argue with a free hot tub, now can we . . .

I'm going to enjoy today, spending a good chunk on homework, making some important job related phone-calls and perhaps running out shopping for work clothes. I've been business-casual at work for so long that I don't have a suit anymore (and I'll need to wear one a couple of times a month to the important meetings with the doctors). Perhaps I'll even get some sewing in too, mmmmm.
