So now I can really consider myself home. Took them about 4 1/2 hours before I got any love, and purrs, any attention at all. That is what I love about cats, they hold a grudge. I have to be on my best behavior around them or I get punished and have to sleep alone.
What a trip! It started out with the guy behind me (in first class) taking his shoes off and propping one between the seats, so close to me I was tempted to play "This Little Piggy". And having to listen to him hit on the flight attendants like it was 1975 and he was expecting to become part of the Mile High Club.
The first day or so we had no electricity in the apartment. Then they decided to repave the streets around the apartment building. Loud, stinky, and did I mention I didn't have any electricity for part of this?? Oh, and the cable was out.. on tax day...that day I am actually trying to pay the government the money I owe them on time. That is the problem with being self-employed.. you always owe (self-employment tax...) And when I tries to go for a walk after they were done paving there were a million little sticky, gooey, tar pebbles everywhere. and they got into your shoes like rocks and made your feet black and sticky and all over gross.
My highlight was the spa afternoon with my niece. Manicure and reflexology massage. I am sure my nails won't last through next week since I have so much soap to make and gardening to do, but for right now my nails feel sexy in their nude polish and buffed cuticles. It has been years 9maybe like 5) since I last polished my nails. The reflexology was incredible. It amazes me how just some pressure points on my feet can make me feel like I have gotten a full body massage.
I came home today and the flight was uneventful except for the landing into Philly where for a moment the plane felt like it was going right and left rather than straight. It was an odd wobbly feeling. I could do without that feeling again.
So what did I do while I was away (other than my taxes).. Well the fun stuff (yeah, right) included fixing the web site, looking for quotes on car insurance, and ordering grass seed for the lawn. I also got to watch C do his taxes, work late, get stuck in traffic, and have an employee quit in him (he had a tough week). The real fun stuff included lots of knitting (two hats, two afghan squares, and a sweater front left side), the spa appointment, a trip to the busiest most insane Wal-Mart I have ever seen, a trip to home depot, a walk on the beach, and the failed attempt to go to a boutique that never seems to be open when it says it will be.
And off to work tomorrow. I will be at the Lehigh Valley Co-op Open House. This is kinda a practice craft show for me. Find the tables, the table covers, some of the displays, my box of show stuff and just hope I can get through without a huge list of things that I forgot to bring. That reminds me, I need to go to the bank and get change..better write that down before I forget it...
Hope I see you tomorrow!
