Happy birthday ginger
Last week was another long week. I started cleaning tuesday and managed to get most of it all done by Wednesday. Just needed to finish the kitchen on Thursday... and clean the pool... and the hot tub.Also got grocery shopping done on Thursday- albertsons, fry's and a walmart pickup. . Even put in some practice for Unplugged. Friday was dead at work so I left about 2. I didn't do much of anything all day. Dropped J off at school at 6 for their halloween party thingie, quick trip to walmart, home and ate dinner and then back to pick her up at 8 and off to the airport. Zero people in security so I had an hour to kill. Started reading a book. Got about an hour of sleep on the plane. Mike picked me up at 6am, we went back to his apartment and hung out for a bit, breakfast about 8:30 with Kevin. Then we were headed down the shore by 9:45. Got to the event about 11 and said all the hellos and hugs. Pound started about 12:30. Everything was wrapped up by 2. Ended up stopping by Judy's house and surprised her. Drove by Stewart's but they were closed for the season. Headed back north and stopped at the bakery for 2 crumb cakes. Then to montclair about 5:30 and met up with dawn at the ice rink. She ordered door dash and dinner was ready by the time we got there. I think I was in bed by 9:30. Slept pretty well. I was exhausted. Woke up around 8- not too terrible. We picked up bagels, spent some time chatting, went for a bike ride to the park. I did my best LOL. Then she dropped me off around 330 in Montclair at Brooke's house. We ended up going for a walk around town, went to an earlier dinner. Tried star tavern for pizza but they were crowded so ended up at Clifton Village Pizza. Decided to drive past my old house, looks like it did last time we drove by. Picked up some ice cream at Applegate farms and headed back to their house. Watched The Book Club. Cute movie and then they put the football game on. Somehow I stayed up until 11:30. We had to get up at 5am to get me to the airport for my 7am flight. Mostly read on the plane. Got a buttered roll at quickchek on the way and ate that in the airport. Home around 10 az time. Jay took me to work. I wasn't planning on working monday but put in an hour and a half. Then we dropped off parts, and came home and watched the sequel to the Book Club, which wasn't as funny but still cute. Ordered chinese for our anniversary dinner and I was asleep before 9. I gave him the news about our European cruise. He wasn't excited. Yesterday, back to class, work, class, house chores, usual. Today class, class. Came home and washed the car inside and out. Took me over an hour. Got a few things checked off my list. Have class tonight too. No class tomorrow- and no hockey- halloween. Not sure what the plans are. We didn't buy any candy and I didn't decorate. I just didn't want to. Just another thing to have to do and then clean up later. I did dig up the placemats though since they were in the linen closet. One more week until election day. I'm actually scared about what will happen, whatever way it goes. In short, my trip was good. I'm glad I went. I'm glad I got to see Dawn and Brooke and Kevin and spent more than 5 minutes. It was not too stressful. It would have been nice to see a few more but I didn't have a car. But then again, no one ever visits me (except for dawn) so effort needs to be a two way street!
