Sooooo I went ziplining! Can you believe that shit? It was like a fucking obstacle course and it was really hot and high up enough that you reeeeeeeallly didn’t want to fall and I did it! Madison and I went first, then Blake, then I think my mom’s friend Jamie and I’m not sure the order after that. Blake’s mom was there and my mom – since this is what she wanted to do for her 50th birthday, which is today! – and my mom’s friend Catherine and of course John and honestly? It was an awesome day. I’m really surprised I could do that! Madison and I only did one course but my mom and Catherine and John and Blake’s mom did 3 of them! Then we all did “the big zip” which is exactly as it sounds, just a big zipline through the forest where they stop you on the other end.
Here’s my mom being awesome:

After ziplining we all went to Brooke & Charlie’s hotel room for cake because it was right down the road from the ziplining place and then we all went to Pie 2 for pizza. After that we parted ways but Brooke and Charlie were in town until Sunday so on Saturday the kids spent the day with them and then we met back up here for dinner, where Blake made “the tomato thing” and they just hung out while I worked. Brooke brought me up my Doc Marten sandals and they are awesome, I love them. They fit perfectly and they look cool as hell and I just love them. I’m almost bummed it’s the last week of August because it won’t be too long before it’ll be too cold to wear them anymore, but mostly I’m just excited for how much time with them I have left this year because I normally don’t put my sandals away until October.
Anyway, that was the weekend. :o) Now it’s Monday and aside from the work meeting I have in about an hour, I have the whole day to pretty much do whatever I want. Blake and Madison are in Barrie and Madison and her friend Ramona are thrift shopping for back to school clothes and picking up Madison’s new glasses in the rain. Wes is marathoning Buffy the Vampire Slayer so it’s just me in my office with not a whole lot to do.
I’m NOT feeling particularly creative. Contemplative maybe, but I’ve learned that when I’m contemplative, the last thing I need is a keyboard.
On Friday night, Blake and I drove around and talked until 2am and we generally had a pretty good time. Or at least I thought so. He helped me sort out some stuff in my head and a lot of that was preparing for my grama’s funeral, which has me scared shitless. Like, it’s this imminent thing that’s always in the back of my head. My mom says she’s doing good though, she goes out for lunch and doesn’t need someone with her 24 hours a day. So that’s weird, but hey I’ll take it. My mom says she’s pretty busy so I’ll have to call my grama and make an appointment pretty much which is just…she’s having a good time right now and I don’t want to interrupt her plans with her friends and the people she’s super close to. Plus it sounds like there’s more time than anticipated since she’s doing so well. The doctor said she’d see spring and summer and it’s the last week of summer, really, school goes back in a week, and she’s doing pretty good so more power to her. Girl, do yo thang.
This is awesome haha and what I’m listening to at the moment.
Now this. Which Blake thinks is funny because he knows the sampled song as the original song but I don’t, I just know this song so…yeah.
Anyway, half an hour until work meeting. I’m gonna go take anxiety meds and chill until they kick in, which should be in time for the meeting. *thumbsup*
Peace oot. :o)
