Ever since we came back from our Star Wars Celebration vacation we have been in high gear at our respective jobs and at the ambulance corps. On Thursday I actually came home at a reasonable hour (Dawg did not have the same luxury) and I hung out with the kitties. Ripley acted like she had forgotten who I am. Not in that smug way cats act, but in that “I honestly have no idea who you are and I’m scared about that” way.

I’ve tried to spend a bunch more time with the kitties this weekend, but I was out Friday night, all Saturday, and then Sunday afternoon into the evening.

What did I do?

Interviews at the ambulance corps on Friday (I’m membership chair now, if I didn’t mention), helped Dawg set up for his driver training class at the corps Saturday then we had dinner and went to the movies, then Sunday we went big item shopping at a warehouse store called BJ’s and then had Sunday dinner at Mama Dawg’s. I was so exhausted from lack of enough sleep lately that I fell asleep before *and* after dinner.

I need another vacation. Thankfully things are coming up that will provide me with that, including an EMS conference, a wedding, and a quick visit from my BFF. ))))))

I’m starting an MS SQL Server Administration class this week. Looking forward to it, even though it’s for work. I love learning new things. Wish me luck? I doubt I need it for the actual content, but perhaps to stay awake in the class since it’s 6:30pm to 10:00pm one night a week, after a workday.

Also, for fun, I’ll show you the coolest car tchotchke I’ve ever seen:

It’s a Michael Myers mask/head!

And, for randomness, a map of Manhattan neighborhoods I borrowed from NYC Tourist:

And one more random thing that is awesomer than awesome:

Dawg is a Machead now! (He has a MacBook Air, too!)
