Ken and I spent the weekend with Vicki. She and I went to Painting with a Twist on Friday night and did a moon picture. Saturday, Vicki talked Ken into going and he had a good time. We did a sunflower picture.
We watched the three original Star Wars movies and the three Back to the Future movies. As well as I made pizza for Vicki. She made me hermits and Ken German Chocolate Cupcakes. She thoroughly spoiled us.
Today is back to reality. I have a long long list of writing projects to deal with this week or at the weekend. I’m hoping to accomplish some of them during the week but I’ll have to see how my week goes as I can only spend so much time at my desk at home without it bothering my legs.
It was good to get away. The car handled wonderfully and we got good gas mileage – definitely an improvement over the van. In addition to the good gas mileage, I didn’t hurt nearly as much as when I was driving the van. Ken also was more comfortable in the car. It was a good decision to get this car. I don’t like the loan or the car payment but I like the improvements for my pain level and his.
Ken and Vicki took Sasha to the vet for shots. She is having surgery as she appears to have a cyst or growth on her paw. It’s bothering her so Vicki will be taking her to the vet again on Thursday for a quick surgery. Hopefully all goes well and Sasha will only be annoyed with Vicki for a few days.
Normally when we go to Vicki’s we do as little as possible – mostly just hang out with her. This is the first time I didn’t crochet her anything while I was there. I wasn’t in the mood. It was nice to just sit back, watch movies and hang out with her. Painting with a Twist was fun. I didn’t like my painting on Friday but when I woke up and looked at it on Saturday, I did. Now I just have to find a place to hang it.
It was a good weekend. I enjoyed the mini break and the time away from home. Now it’s time to get back to work on my writing and crocheting.
