We worked in the yard/garden for most of the weekend. I cut the nearly knee-high grass. I burned the crap out of my shoulders–yes, the one who is always going on and on about sunscreen totally missed a swath of skin on my back (was wearing a sleeveless shirt on Saturday) and am now paying for it. I was also bit by some critter on the back of my leg and let me tell you don’t want to look up pictures of spider bites on google unless you actually want to throw up.
We went to a party for my master’s program. It was fun. We were some of the last to leave which I felt bad about, because I don’t like being the last one to leave. We got out of there just in the nick of time before it turned into one of those “when are these people going to leave” moments. We nearly made the professor in charge of the program cry with our thank-you gift. We also found out she won an award that several of us had nominated her for–pretty prestigious award and she’ll be honored at graduation on Saturday. That was really wonderful and very exciting.
As we were sitting in the backyard late Sunday afternoon drinking a beer, I said I think I need to take next Monday off. So! I’ll be celebrating graduation by skipping work on Monday a week from now. Oh happy day, indeed.
I agree about the weekend being way too short.
At least it finally stopped raining!
