leighblack: (Riley - Big Ears)
I haven't gotten a chance to write much here on my vacation. The other day my mom wanted to run a couple errands. And then we were gone for FIVE hours. And then Earl got pancreatitis again, so I spent part of Thursday morning at the vet and I've been helping her watch him. But I'm finally coming home tomorrow because [livejournal.com profile] seimaisin and I are going to see the Graham Colton Band. And then it'll be back to the harsh reality of work starting on Sunday.

But first! [livejournal.com profile] janevok asked for some photos from around the cabin, so I put together a whole flickr set of photos of the lake, the cabin and my parents house. Some of the better ones are behind the cut )

So yeah, hi. I'm up at the cabin until Saturday. [livejournal.com profile] seimaisin was here for several days, but she left this evening. So now it's just me. Well, and my mom and Earl, who are over at the house. Across the street. Sort of.

For some perspective, here's a photo )

Yes, the house and the cabin are only about...what? A hundred feet apart? If that? Yet we each stay in our respective areas and it's probably better that way. And we're more likely to call each other than to actually walk over to the other place. It works for us, so whatever.

ANYHOW. I was sitting here watching TV tonight (yes, certainly an exciting way to spend a birthday) and Earl let himself in through the doggie door. He jumped up on the couch with me and implored me to scratch his chin, just like he belonged here. I figured my mom was visiting the neighbors and he was looking for her and just got confused, so I carried him over to the house to wait for her. Nope, she was sitting there watching TV. Neither of us have any idea why he would wander over to the cabin by himself. Weird little dog.

For real though, just being up here makes me miss Riley more than ever. I expect to see him trot over to sit by my chair while we're sitting by the fire. =(

Also, part of the fun of this state? It was nearly 90 degrees yesterday. Today? It barely made it into the 70s. brrrrrr...

But holy crap am I happy that I got the hell out of town. What the fuck is going on in the city that I love?? Sadly, that's not even the worst of it.

So, yeah. I've been gone all weekend. I have no idea if anyone noticed. But I've been at the cabin with my parents and the dogs. Actually, they left yesterday evening so I was by myself for a day. That was nice, except that it rained the whole time. In fact, it rained most of the weekend. That's okay though. I just needed a change of scenery for a few days. I did some shopping and finished up my pirate costume, besides buying some more books. And I ate way too much food since my mom was around. I never eat that much on my own. And I snuggled with my dog about 6 hours a day. Both Riley & Earl seem very relieved that Jack is gone. Bullies.

I watched a lot of TV this weekend. Dude. Flavor of Love was awesome! I was going to watch a bunch of The Office, but my mom can't stand it, so I got overruled. I was going to watch it today, but then I realized that WGN has Homicide on in the mornings and today was the pilot episode. So, I watched, even though I have it on DVD. And then I did more channel flipping and realized that Sci-Fi was showing a Firefly marathon. I also have those on DVD, but I watched about 7 episodes anyways while I did laundry. It was the best day ever.

Nothing much else to report.
