Sheep Guarding Llama

It is Friday, Min’s only “day” off all week. Normally she keeps herself awake on Fridays but she was so exhausted that she slept most of the morning. When she did get up, we had to run up to the city to run some errands to get things ready so that I could be out of town for a while. Mostly just banking.

This evening, Min and I went over to dad’s for a picnic dinner with my family and the Case’s. We hung out there until about 8:30 or so and then swung by my aunt and uncle’s in Leicester to pick up our small television that was over there so that Min can take it to Ithaca tomorrow. We ended staying for than an hour because my cousin and aunt were over visiting with grandma and Min hadn’t had a chance to see them yet since they had driven up from Ohio.

Min and I ended up staying up awfully late tonight. I didn’t go to bed until after 3:30. She fell asleep before that but just out on the couch in the living room.

Min was exhausted after not having any sleep last night or today so she went to bed around 3:00 this afternoon and I headed over to my grandma’s to see my family who is having a family dinner tonight. I have a cousin from Ohio in town visiting and my aunt who came up from Florida. We only get to see them about once a year so I try not to miss my chances.

Dad and I had to work at a client site this afternoon so we headed out from my house around 2:30 and spent the afternoon working up in the city. We managed to get home a little bit before Min made it home from Ithaca. She got out of work early and managed to get home around 6:00.

I slept in nice and late this morning. Finally! I really needed that. I am going to try that full night’s sleep thing out again tonight, I hope.

I had some errands that I wanted to run this morning and I had to get some information together for Dominica because she is doing her first tech work for me tomorrow morning in Varna. So she is a little bit nervous, but everyone has to start off somewhere. I had to run over to Target to get a toothbrush and toothpaste because somehow I left those items somewhere. I am not sure whether they are in Varna or if they are in Geneseo but I am pretty sure that they are in one of the other. And I had to run over to Borders to pick up a Lonely Planet guide (I can’t say where it is for, I am taking Min somewhere as a surprise for her birthday!) Then I ran out and got some lunch. I got the info together for Min and headed out to Annapolis to hang out for the afternoon.

I made it over to Annapolis around 3:30. We hung out for a while. Some friends got stranded out on the island in the bay and we had to run out to tow them back in. I spent a lot of the afternoon pouring over my new Lonely Planet guide (I highly suggest Lonely Planet as a good starting point for all of your travel needs.) We had dinner and I headed back to the hotel in time to get in around 11:15. Looks like I might get some more of that sleep thing tonight!

Where did the month of June go? That just flew by. I can’t believe that it is already summer. I was up really late last night so I slept in this morning. Min got home from work an wanted to go straight out to Walmart to get supplies to finishing mudding the basement but I just couldn’t handle getting out of bed. So she decided to come home and get some sleep. She didn’t bother sleeping yesterday so she is really tired.

I had a webinar at noon so I took that and worked on getting old dailies posted to SGL. Sorry about the lull. I knew that late June was going to be crazy.

I am scheduled to be in Washington next week. I am travelling down on July 5th (that’s Monday) and I should be returning on Tuesday the 13th. Min and I will be in Ithaca on July 4 and 5. That only leaves me with two more days here in Geneseo. And I feel like I just barely got here.

After Min got up we went to Walmart and did some shopping. We got the spackling, primer and paint that we need to do the theatre in the basement. We have decided for the time being to paint the walls flat black and to paint the screen area high gloss white. It isn’t as good as a screen but in the totally dark room it will be worlds better than anything we have ever done before and it will let us see exactly how we are going to use the theatre before we start spending money on a screen. While we were at Walmart we decided that we needed to get a sno-cone maker. So we got one and tons of flavorings for it. We are very excited about that.

Min and I had dinner with dad over at the Omega Grill this evening. Dad is exhausted, he has been staying with my grandma all week because the rest of my family has been out of town seeing my great uncle Bill out in Ohio. So dad is finally back at home now but he is still really tired.

After dinner, Min and I went over to the Millen’s to visit. This was our first chance to see the baby. Julia Elisabeth Millen. Everyone was doing really well. We didn’t visit for very long, mostly because it was so late by the time we were over there. We left there and Min went straight to work at the hotel. I had to get back home because I have a bit of work that needs to be done tonight because I have to work up in the city tomorrow.
