The day before vaca

Apart from the fact that when I dropped my dogs off at the new boarding place no one knew what the hell they were doing (and I had to wait 45 minutes until someone came in, because the first person left fifteen minutes early and the next person was a half an hour late,) and the hugely massive NOVEL they had me fill out about the dogs, their temperment, their health, their diet etc. was nowhere to be found, and when they did find it, no one had even looked at it, umm, yeah. Apart from that, the day was great.

After dropping the dogs off I went to Lao Shir's house. I was so happy to see my training brother (who no longer trains) Chris C. there. Also some training sisters who no longer train. It was a reunion of epic proportions. I love seeing Chris C. because he is hilariously funny. A father of two, his main hobby outside of martial arts is building light sabers and doing other Star Wars related things. He's too awesome.

Lao Shir looks fantastic and she made bean salad that was really To The Yum. We chilled in her back yard for a while, and then we all walked to the beach by her house. I took a really cool photo of her.

Then once I got home it was the pre-trip dinner at the folks' hizzy, with Gran and cousins and Boychild. The Boychild got all sugary and ran around like a wind up toy. He has no idea that he is going on an airplane tomorrow to go to Disneyworld. I wonder what it must be like to live int he moment, and to not even think about the meaning of the future. Although if you ask him, "Who's going to Disneyworld?" he raises his hand and said, "MEEEEE!" Still he has no idea what it means; to him it's just a word game.

Today I am cleaning the house as if the queen were coming to visit. I have even borrowed my Ma's rug cleaner and am shampooing the rugs. I cleaned the aviary too, so it's nice and shiny clean. I will return to a spotless house.

Not only is it going to be cool to see Boychild see Disneyworld for the first time, but also on Friday I'm meeting up with three friends I met on the internet through that blog that I go to. We've been joking about it for a month, the things we are going to do! I can't wait to meet them. Good times.

Meanwhile, my house is too damn quiet.
