Busy Bee

So it's been a very busy couple of days since my last post. I went home for the weekend to see my two best friends from high school before the one goes off for Teach for America (and brought back a car load of boxes in the process, yay!). I absolutely adore you both and I'm so glad we had a few days, I just wish I'd been able to stay more. We got lost in the city (haha, "strawberry festival" my ass), listened to the city celebrate the Pens bringing us the second national championship this year (Pirates for the hat trick? haha yeah right), saw No Doubt which was the most amazing show I've ever seen, and in general had an amazing weekend of friendness. I will be so glad to be back there with at least HB but I am going to miss DD so much. Trifecta love to you both.

Of course, it couldn't all be good. Teddy ran away not once, but twice in three days and worried me sick. He's home safe and sound now, but I'm still mad at him.

Then of course it was back to the grind, and of course I couldn't be eased back in this week either. After getting up at 5 am to drive back here and straight to work, I had to go directly to a dinner party for the internship program meaning I didn't get a break until 8 that night. Then today I went to my usual day of work from 9 to 5, then had to hang around Greene for two hours and go to a board meeting to discuss the progress we've made. My boss did buy us dinner, so that was nice, but not getting back until 8 again was pretty lousy. I should also say that the meetings were not the bad parts of this, both we perfectly pleasent with lots of laughs, but made for very long days. Now I'm just exhausted. Tomorrow the supervisor of the intern program is going to come and see how we're doing, which is also a bit stressful because we are used to being really by ourselves most of the time. She's just going to be there to see what it is exactly we're doing, but it's going to be a little stressful. At least we should be home by 6 like we're supposed to be.

Overall, good days, but busy ones. I'm so ready for a bit of relaxing.
