Need to salvage the weekend

[judecorp]

I have the house to myself today but I'm not sure what I want to do. Usually when Jen is working on a Saturday, I tend to spend an inordinate amount of time cleaning house and running errands, but I'm just not feeling that today. It's supposed to be pretty chilly today, so I thought maybe I would take myself to a movie - something at the Kendall, probably, like Brick or American Dreamz. Anyone want to go? Maybe I'll call Tim and see what he's up to - Easter reminded me that I miss having a little Tim snark in my life.

Yesterday was rough but the one really bright spot was all of the effort we put in to save Coworker Gina's birthday. I called her husband yesterday morning to find that he hadn't really planned anything for her birthday - no dinner out, no cake, no friends over, nothing. So we picked one of Gina's favorite places and made reservations for us, them, and Gina's best friend. And then we got an ice cream cake with those relighting candles and dropped it off at the restaurant. It was a nice surprise for her and I know she really appreciated it.

Really, no one should have a birthday go by without being made to feel special, and I'm a little cheesed at her husband that he would just be so blase about it. I know that they've had a rough time of it lately, but sometimes I just want to whack that boy with a clue-by-four. He's really a great guy and I like him a lot, but... ugh. Hopefully a little encouragement has gone a long way. :)

So yeah, trying to make the most out of everything this weekend, even though it's not a great weekend by any count. Weather's not supposed to be great. Jen's working today and going in tomorrow morning and then will be at a pen show all day, which means I'm stuck on my own in RI trying to vacuum and do more cleaning. And then it's just right back to work.

Is anyone REALLY bored tomorrow and want to, you know, ride to RI with me? I promise Dunkin Donuts coffee because I have been SO GOOD at avoiding all delicious coffee and artificial sweeteners for the last three weeks.

I just wish my damned period would come so we could start over already. Maybe tomorrow? We'll see.

What about taking a Sunday for yourself and just, I don't know, relaxing? Have a day where you just stay in your pj's and pamper yourself. *hugs* Thinking of you.

Can't really do that tomorrow, I'm afraid. I haven't done any work on Dad's house in a couple of weeks and it needs to be ready for selling ASAP. I am so tired of doing crap around that house, and stalling another weekend (whether for Easter or New Orleans or whatever) isn't going to help.

But it would be nice!
