Hello and welcome to week 46!

Sorry about the lack of a blog last week. It started out rough, I didn’t want to share and then I just didn’t jump on it when my day was good.

Everyone is fine. Fiks and I went and played Dungeons and Dragons for the weekend with his Monday night group, so that was fun. My character, Prim, ended up killing the bad guy, the Elder Brain, with a stary form arrow and a guiding bolt. I rolled 4 D6, 3 of them were 6s and I got one 1. The dm asked me how I wanted it to go, not understanding that I got to decide how bad ass I looked doing it. I basically ran across the room, shooting as I ran across the opening.

We both woke up around 9 this morning and nibbled on food until we started packing up. I think we got everything home. We took a lot of stuff from home, including our stand mixer so that Fiks could make pretzels.

We had a good time. This morning after packing up the 7 of us left (and 2 dogs), went to Black Bear Diner on the way home. I got to snuggle with a huge bear, and then I ordered some cinnamon roll French toast. Fiks nor I were expecting me to finish it, but I did. They were very yummy, and I was very full when I finished eating them.

The rest of the day we spent driving home after the parking lot phase of goodbyes. Fiks was awesome and drove the entire time, and we listened to podcasts on the way home. We stopped once, getting stuff to drink, stretch our legs, get a snack to share. We made it home and unloaded the car, and then I texted my Brother we were home safe but not coming to family dinner because we were exhausted. We watched some TV together, then Fiks jumped onto his computer and started playing Cyberpunk and then I started playing Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. I’d already done my classwork for class tomorrow, so I didn’t have that to stress out about finishing, which was nice.

I slept like a rock last night, so that was a nice change from not really sleeping all weekend. Something nice about your own bed and a gravity blanket 🙂 . I woke up with my alarms and got out of bed and grabbed some cookies for breakfast and watched some Big Bang Theory as I tried to wake up. When it was time I logged on for class and waited for my group to form. While I was in class Fiks woke up and made me a cup of tea, and between both of us we ended up spilling it a few times. Math was focusing on bac (blood alcohol content) problems. I got some of them and some of them I didn’t.

After class I called my parents and said good morning, saying we’d swing by when we came down for groceries, and for me to look for my other duffle bag because we broke the one we currently use. The zippers came off the tracks and there is no hope of putting them back together. I can’t really complain, I’ve had the bags since…. 2000? 2001? something like that. I also registered for my next quarter classes. Microbiology again, but with a different teacher. Hopefully I’ll do better this time. I also set up a counselling appointment for next Monday to make sure that I don’t have any other classes to do before applying to the Vet Tech Program in April (fingers crossed).

Fiks and I lost track of time after I was done with school and then we rushed down to the grocery store and got gas for Fiks and a late lunch of Panda Express. At 2 I had my Doctors appointment, so we had to be in reception for that, thankfully I didn’t loose the connection half way home. I apparently froze once we parked in the garage and my phone connected to the wifi, but otherwise that was it. We watched some YouTube videos while eating Panda and then I jumped on and started playing Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 again. I finished the level I was on and did another one before buckling down and focusing on doing my math homework and prep for class tomorrow. I turned on Big Bang Theory once Fiks was done watching TV and jumped onto his computer.

I finished my math, and it took me a while but I think that I had it down. Even if I did have to look back at the example problems that I had written down step by step. But whatever gets you there, right? Once I was done with math I jumped back onto RCT3. I played that with Big Bang Theory on in the background until it was time to go to bed.

I slept okay last night. Fiks woke me up a couple of times and I had a hard time going back to sleep. I got up with my alarms and grabbed my protein shake and sat down on the sofa and watched some Big Bang while waiting for class to start. Class went okay, I had to keep muting my mic because I am still coughing. But at least I get some warning now. We decided to bust out both sections on Monday next week because it’ll be Thanksgiving and my group mates had stuff they needed to do and wanted the extra day to get it done. After math I went and got dressed and grabbed Fiks’ hoodie and headed down into town. I dropped his hoodie off at the station and then I went and visited my parents for a while.

I took over the three cherry pie crusts and cherries that I got yesterday at the grocery store, and went inside. Lumi started barking as soon as he heard me close the car door. I said hi to him and to Mom, Poppa was busy doing something. We chatted a little bit about Thanksgiving and what we needed and what we wanted to do. We’re going to cook over there and eat there, rather than have me run back and forth between my sister’s house and mine. Then Poppa asked me for some help once he popped his head out, so I helped him out for a little while. Then I went upstairs and looked for my other Ariat bag. I found it in the closet like I thought I would, so that was nice. I emptied it of the junk that was in there, and went back downstairs. I hung out for a little bit longer and then I made my way home after stopping and getting gas.

I came home and made a sammich for lunch and played some RTC3 while waiting for my Cousin so we could start the movie of the week. We watched Captain America.

We commented how it was strange the Marvel movies originally were produced by Paramount Pictures and not by Disney. But it makes sense. We chatted through the movie an then I went and started a load of laundry and started working on this. I took a nap after the movie and then I just hung out at home. I waited to hear from Fiks to see when he was coming home so that I could make dinner for us. For once, the chicken wasn’t ruined when I opened it up. I think it was actually still frozen because it took forever to cook one of the breasts. Fiks came home while I was still cooking when he got home, so he helped me out. We did chicken broccoli alfredo for dinner, and it turned out pretty well.

We sat down on the sofa and ate dinner and watched YouTube videos. I tried to play RTC3 but I couldn’t manage to keep my focus on it. I just snuggled down with Fiks and when it was time I went to bed.

I forgot to keep up with the rest of the week once I started work. It was just a crazy week.
