It's my birthday this weekend and my Mom and my Daughter are coming to visit me (assuming all goes as planned). My mom still uses DIAL UP AOL and complains about how expensive it is ($9.99 a month, I think). So, she does not understand my "addiction" to the Internet and will be less than happy that I do things like check email whilst she is visiting. She cannot fathom why I cannot go 4 days without checking email. She does not have The Facebook (her term) or That Tweety Nonsense (her term) and so she gets a little put out by the fact that my Daughter (who is 17) text messages almost constantly (I figure she will be first in line if they ever come up with the technology for direct human interface with the 'Net...)
I hadn't really considered until today what a bummer of a "vacation" this is for my Daughter... She "gets" to spend time with her (to her) old Mother and her even OLDER Gramma. And there is really nowhere for her to escape to because I live in a teeny, tiny apartment (ok, it's not a STUDIO, but it's not huge). So, yeah. Gotta sortve be a bummer for her but she's coming and I hope we will have a good time.
The weather is going to be less than optimal. It's been gorgeous lately but this weekend is scheduled to be cold and rainy. Not cool.
I am hoping I will get the chance to solve a mystery today... there was a FedEx slip on my door last night and I am not expecting anything... They are supposed to reattempt delivery today so I hope they don't do it whilst I am vacuuming or something because I'd like to get my package.
I've also discovered, via the amount of noise that my neighbors make, that apparently NO ONE who lives here except me has a job. Or, at least, not a job where they work during the day. Because it is NOISY and sounds like a big ol' social club around here during the day. Exactly like it sounds on the weekend.
I need to get back to vacuuming! Have a fabulous weekend, y'all. I'll check back in as soon as I can.
