I can’t even give you a breakdown of what happened each day because it’s all a haze of leisure and resting, but here’s a list of things done during my long weekend at Ft. Lewis Lodge.

-ate a lot of Doritos

-drank a lot of water

-talked about it being hot

-played what felt like the longest game of Settlers ever

-ate about 487,128 varieties of casseroles and vegetable salads

-finally started reading the last Happy Potter book

-snuggled and nap to a ridiculous degree

-celebrated our five year anniversary

-felt the baby wiggle around some more

-dreaded coming home

-decided to skip church

Now I will do some laundry and get caught up on the approximately 8 million emails I have and try to remember what the mess I have to do at work next week.

Sigh. Long weekend, you were much too short.

Friday: Home from work. Played Rock Band and rested some while waiting for Ross to finish helping a friend move. Proceeded to starve to death. Went with Ross to pick up dinner after stopping at the pharmacy to find that our crappy vet had neglected to call in Shooter’s seizure medication. Came home. Ate. Puttered. Bed.

Saturday: Up and puttered until the vet’s office opened. Talked to vet assistant who claimed the prescription was never called in because they “had been really busy.” Asked it to be called in and for a confirmation call once that had happened. Went to the gym. Came home with still no call from the vet. Called back to find out that they don’t have Shooter’s file on record. Proceed to tell them that he has been going there for five years and that they had record of him three months ago when they last renewed the prescription. Got told that they would “keep looking.” Went shopping for baby stuff with my mother (that will be another post entirely! So! Much! Cute! Stuff!). Got a call back from the vet saying they found Shooter’s record in “some random examination room” and that they would calling the prescription in now. Called Ross to ask him to pick up the prescription. Went to lunch with my mom. Came home. Got a call from Ross telling me that the vet had called in the prescription, but didn’t give enough information for them to fill it entirely, but that the wonderful pharmacist was going to give us enough pills to get us through the weekend. Spent the remainder of the day griping about the vet and sweating to death because Ross was refusing to turn on the AC even though it was 84 degrees in the house. In-laws came over. Sat on the deck and chatted. Ate a delicious, Ross-prepared dinner of crab cakes, tortellini, and cucumber salad. Finally got Ross to turn on the AC. Played Rock Band with my mother-in-law. To bed at around 11.

Sunday: Up after 8 for the first time in a while. Ate breakfast and started a registry at Babies ‘R’ Us. Shaved Ross’s head. Did some work. Ate some lunch. Took a shower. Went to church. *Might* have felt the baby move a few times - Flipper was apparently really into the sermon. Ate popsicles. Went to Joe’s Inn with friends from church. Home to do laundry and to do some more work.

Short week! Long weekend anniversary trip this weekend - FIVE years, OMG.

Have a wonderful week!
