Memorial Day Weekend Reprise - Friday
We had a lovely weekend in NJ. I’m really happy with how it turned out - I even got to do a few things I didn’t “plan on.” Here’s how it started:
Got in to work WAY early - concentrated virus by myself in the hood. I was in the lab so long that the automatic lights went out in the main room. You know you’ve been working in the hood for a long time when that happens - twice.
Kris and I left for Jersey by noon. We had a *slight* backup of traffic on Rt. 85 while we were trying to get some “cheap” gas for the low LOW price of $2.05, and also had to make a small detour to pick up my sunglasses - which I had left at kickboxing the previous evening. My instructor was kind enough to take them, call me, and then have them ready for me to pick them up. I needed them this weekend!
We zoomed through most of CT, but then sat in traffic in CT, NY, and NJ. In the oppressive, humid nastiness heat, in the rallycar. By the time we got to the Tappen Zee bridge, I knew we wouldn’t make it to my parents’ house before 5, so I had to call Lynn and let her know we wouldn’t be able to make it to the library. Kris just wanted to get to the house, but I convinced him to stop by Bob’s, as I was looking for a new bathing suit and some clothes for kickboxing and yoga.
I decided not to pay $80 at Bob’s for a bathing suit. Since when did Bob’s get so expensive????
We had dinner with my parents, and as we brought in the stuff from the car, I realized Kris had taken a huge bag of laundry I had not originally intended to bring. This worked out for the best, because I have more clean socks this week than I thought I would!
After dinner, we went to Old Navy where I found a nice new bathing suit, and some specifically labeled “Yoga Pants.” I got the bathing suit, two pairs of pants, and two tops for less than the one $80 bathing suit Bob’s would have cost me. GO Old Navy!
Kris then attempted to fix my parents’ computer, but it’s going to take a lot of work. They don’t know better than to open attachments, and had disconnected the router, which caused more problems. It’s funny…they think they know what they are doing with the computer, but as soon as something is slow, or has an error message, they send for help. I can’t blame them this time, though as it seems like the whole computer just needs to be rebuilt. : (
