well starting this week either or thursday or friday, many of my cousins and uncle show up to campout at mom and dad’s for our labor day weekend bash. then after labor day i have a pdoc appt. on the 7th.
after that, my brother and niece are coming to stay with us for a week in mid september.
then once they leave, mom is wanting to take a road trip out west to colorado, to do some mountain hiking, see cliff dwellings and sand dunes, as well as go to my little niece’s bday party who turns 5 at the end of september, they live in denver.
needless to say i have much more going on in september than typical, so don’t know how i’ll do with all the excitement, but also more stress involved as mom will stipulate i can’t go on the road trip if my home is not clean and spotless. she does this before every trip we take together, and also i have a lot of yard work to do this week,
so it will be eventful september, after sitting here doing very little for 8 months now.
i visit colorado a lot, been at least 5 years in a row, sometimes twice a year, my sister lives there. im starting to get tired of going there, nothing against the place, i love it, would just like to see something new, like the great lakes or something i don’t visit much.
every time i go somewhere i don’t take my devices and take a break from the internet. i notice this puts me at a disadvantage when it comes to ignoring my 7 year old nephew who will want to play, he knows not to try to play with the other adults reading on their ipads haha. the only reason i would take my laptop along is so i could have some normalcy to my routine instead of playing power rangers villian with my nephew. who also likes to make me the bad guy, rough me up, and throw me in imaginary jail haha. it will be a fun trip, but not looking forward to the last 2 or 3 days of playtime with the nephew, i can’t keep up with his imagination, but i notice he actually likes me because i play with him, unlike my older nephews who i didn’t play with much when they were little.
i will probably take my laptop along and only bust it out if we stay at my sister’s longer than 2 days. 2 days around little kids is a long time for me haha. i have to sleep on the couch at her place.
