What a week!
Well, got back from the airport about an hour ago (hour and a half drive one way) where I saw my son off for California and another six months before I get to see him again 
The week didn't turn out exactly as either of us had hoped/planned, as I ended up having to work second shift, so we had a few short hours in the morning and a couple when I got home from work about midnight 
But we had fun during those few hours, and I took Friday off and we just hung out and had fun. Next time he comes home, I don't care - I'm *not* working!
Tomorrow I start back on third shift for the rest of June, and then I go to second again for all of July. That normally doesn't happen, but one of the second-shifters is going on vacation for the whole month so I lucked out. Who can't use an extra four weeks pay, right? Especially when that means four *months* I don't have to work if I don't want to.
The joys of living simply.
So now I have a lot of stuff to get caught up on - didn't do any writing this week, and a lot of garden/yard work got pushed off - but nothing that's going to cause the earth to stand still if it isn't done. And John installed a video capture card on my PC so I can put all my tapes (of certain movies/tv shows with a certain person starring
) on DVD. Another project on my list - one of the more enjoyable ones.

Plans never work out the way we expect, do they. But at least you got some time with your son.

Oh yes - lots of screencaps - like his duet with Marie Osmond, bits from "This Joint is Jumpin'", "W" - the ones we don't get to see much of ;-)
No, they sure don't. :-( But the time we did have, we got to have some really nice talks, less parent/child than adult/adult. Very nice. :)
