ljgeoffSo, we'll see how today goes.
Yesterday, Mike and I went down to Wisconsin to pick up another Festiva; the frame of my last one rusted out. On the way down, he helped me rough out the plot of the next
Alkyone story and I came up with a setting for the one after that. When I have those two done, I'll have my first (level? ring? platform?) done, and I'll move up to the next level. Sometimes I think of them as North, South, East, West and sometimes I think of them as Sunrise, Midday, Sunset, Midnight.
It was five hours down and five hours back, plus an hour at the guys' house and a stop for dinner. We didn't get home until after 11pm, and then I had to run and get milk for the shop. We turned in around 12:30, and I couldn't go to sleep. Finanlly fell asleep around 2am.
And got woken at 3:30 am by the police, who said that the drive-through windows of the shop were both wide open. So I got up and dressed and went down there. Nothing looked out of place. I'm pretty darn sure that the windows were barred when I dropped off the milk. Either I'm wrong, or someone climbed very carefully through another window that I'm pretty sure *was* open. And didn't disturb anything. I actually can imagine one of the crew that hangs around my place "breaking in" and stealing an ice cream cone. I dunno.
So the police and I looked around, I closed up and went back home and fell slept from about 4:30am to 5:45am and now I'm here. Yay. Today's schedule is 6:30a-2:30p at the shop, and 3p-9:30p at the home aide job.
edit: Carl says he forgot to close the windows. *yeesh*

So far, so good on the shop. If I don't expire from exhaustion. We'll have our new sign in about a week, and then I'll be able to do some advertising. If we can make it through the summer, we're gold.

Date: 2008-07-12 04:28 am (UTC)We will indeed be at Vikings, as it is Toby and Audreys semi official coming home party! It's a smallish regional event at best, and the new site pales in comparison to the prior, but barring all that, it's *Still* a fun time. It would be great if the MQT crew came down, but with transportation costs I would certainly not begrudge your absence.
Things are well here, and I'm glad it looks like things are going well their as well. Get back in school for the degree!! You'll be so happy you did! You can indenture your children into selling Ice cream and coffee after school once class restarts!
