Tuesday: Trivia night, where we kicked butt while cracking jokes about the original Three Musketeers--"Athos, Porthos, and-"
Shemp (Teammate S.)
Cousin Oliver (Me)
Where I was not: training for my new part-time job at the public library, feeding the cats dinner at my parents' house. Training was postponed at the last minute, and I totally spaced out about the cats with all the changing around of my scheduled. They got dinner at 8:30 when my dad got home, and the cats still love us all.

| My original journal (created last summer) |
Incidentally, my cold-induced forgetfulness had me realizing I forgot my original journal to show as an example, so there I was at 10 a.m. throwing together a new one. Not my best work, but they were impressed nonetheless.
Thursday: Mass for the holyday, training at the library for my new part-time job. Also, before I left the house for the library, my mom called to say she was home from NJ. Tired, but home. Yay.
Also on the sofa, finishing The Unwanteds, which honestly I thought was just O.K. There were some imaginative parts but then they veered into elements of "preciousness" or kinda "twee" moments or too convenient/weird characters, inventions, or occurrences that made me feel talked down to. Even if it is middle-grade fiction.
Friday: Getting partial highlights--hello, summer; bye-bye, random grays. I've had that money in reserve since I sang for a wedding last month.
Where I was not: the gym, sadly, because my head and neck hurt too much, and this afternoon I was having short bouts of sweats and chills. I hope it's better tomorrow, because in the afternoon I have a vigil Mass to cantor.
Two more books (this and that) to finish that I owe back to the school library, laundry--oh, and I have to shop for birthday presents for Oldest Nephew (last Thursday) and Younger Sister (today, and it has to be good because she's spending the weekend traveling to a funeral).
Soooo, how was your week?

My week was busy and stressful and hormonal. If the last of this migraine would mosey on out, I would forgive it, though. Meanwhile, the dueling lawn-care engines outside need to shut up already.
I imagine it would be satisfying to be able to say, "I'm sorry that my being at a funeral postponed your desire to complain about something that you did wrong."
During my year at boarding school, my two friends and I toyed with being the three musketeers. Problem was, one of my friends refused to be Aramis, saying that if she had to be a fragrance, she would rather be Blue Stratos. Yes, we were that sort of people even then.
That doesn't sound like a bad week. At least it didn't involve jury duty. :)
I was on vacation and was a general slacker. Now I am not on vacation and am lamenting the end of my slackerhood.
BTW, stop getting sick!
CCR--I hope your migraines are clearing up. We made jokes about the Aramis fragrance, but I don't know Blue Stratos! Wonder what that smells like.
Dave--yeah, jury duty would have been the last crazy straw.
Sara--I think there are "doing" vacations and "slacking" vacations. It helps to slow down every once in a while, right?
I am taking my vitamins, O.K.???
