This weekend I had a nice 3-day weekend in Edmonds. I figured that it is easy to rearrange my schedule to make it fit into 4 days instead of 5. Therefore, why not take an extra day off?
Though as I sit here about to go to bed, I do realize that I didn't take into account enough time to go to class, meaning I am going to have to go in a bit earlier. Wish me luck on that! The fact that I have to go in earlier than normal right after a long weekend is the reason why I am going to get into bed soon instead of watch a TV show like I normally would.
Anyway, Friday I was able to visit with the folks. Saturday morning, I visited with the folks. Saturday afternoon I visited BBE, and Saturday night I babysat E. Since that went late, Sunday morning I slept in. Sunday afternoon I visited my folks. Sunday night I spent with BBE. All day Monday I spent with BE. Monday night I spent with my folks.
Notice a pattern? It is the perfect way to spend a weekend, in my opinion! Though I enjoy seeing friends in Edmonds, I never feel like I'm missing something when I don't. My parents feed me good food and we play cribbage! :) Sometimes I feel like it would be weird to be an only child because your folks attention is completely on you. However, then I realize that about 90% of the time I spend with my folks is just me, and it isn't weird....
Basically, it was a good weekend and I am very happy that I got a chance to go to Edmonds! Especially since today was nice so we played at the park! We also went to a gym play thing, which was fun.
Since I am a nerd/workaholic, I checked my work email throughout the day. I realized that I received 30 emails, 95% of them needing attention. Though that is just an average day for my inbox, it seems weirder when I am not attending do them as they come. It just looks like more... Though when I attend to them all day long there are responses and such, meaning I actually get more! :)
And the other news... I am almost positive I am going to stay in Bellingham. My excitement about living in Spokane has shifted to excitement about living in Bellingham. I spent the weekend looking at apartments, trying to get a feel for what the price would be. I figured out that the majority of my friends will be staying in town. In fact, only 1 friend is moving out of town, and she plans to visit often. I know that I would have to make a strong effort to make this life into my "real life", the life that I aspire to have in the future but don't feel like represents my current situation. I can't go on feeling this, so I'm almost excited that I get to make this change to my "real life" now, instead of later. :)
I have to call Laura now and make sure that I am positive about this decision. Odds are though that I will be telling my boss tomorrow that I am interested in applying for the full-time job.
Real life, here I come!
