Whee!!! 5 more days! Actually, 4! Since today is essentially over. I have never in my life been so eager for summer to end.
Today is my mom's 60th birthday. She's working, since they give double time on birthdays, so I'm trying to stay up until she gets home. We'll see how well that goes. It's not yet 11:30 and she gets home around 2am. I'm sort of awakish...I think. Aaron and I went to Whole Foods to get her a cake today. They ALWAYS have these adorable, little, lemon cakes every time we go there but today there were none. Wah wah. They did have lemon cake slices, so we got a couple of those. And a blueberry peach pie. And coffee ice cream. And chocolate malt ice cream. We might be just a teeny bit gluttonous here :P
I think we've got a good rough draft of our vacation itinerary. Aaron made one a few days ago but it had three 10 hour driving days, two of which were in a row. I don't drive, and even if I did, he gets carsick when others drive, so he does all the driving. 10 hour driving days are bad enough as is, but they are inevitably the days you hit tons of road construction, insane traffic, and delays and somehow turn into 15 hour driving days. I fiddled around with stuff and, with only adding 1 day to our vacation, got it more manageable with no driving days over 8 hours and most below. We've also pinned down some activities, but have space for others. I'm going to start looking for lodging after I write this, I think.

I have an awful ingrown hair on my upper inner thigh. It's actually 2 right next to each other, but one is much worse than the other. I don't know if it's because my hair situation is weird (in addition to losing a lot of hair on my head, I've also lost nearly all my armpit hair, the majority of my pubes and my butt crack hair. I call it my Bonus Brazilian) or if it's because I've gained weight and my thighs are rubbing together more than normal or what. I should probably hot pack it but putting the heating pad essentially to my groin sounds too hot and unpleasant. Then again, this bastard of a thing makes walking unpleasant so...I dunno. We'll see how ambitious I feel when I go to bed.

In other news, Aaron took Lirael in for her annual exam and nothing of note popped up, so yay for that. I'm pretty sure she weighs less than last year, when she was stealing lots of Mogget's kitten food. I think Aaron said she was 10.3 lbs but I don't remember how much she was last year. She's definitely less round and meatloaf-shaped so yay. They also ended up talking about Nemma and Dr. D, who has been on Nemma's case, seemed surprised by how well my neurotic little pup was doing. Most pleased. We're keeping him separated from Nigel, so I think his environment is much less stressful, which has to be better for his heart, and Aaron has been such a champ about pilling him. I'm not allowed to right now on the extremely off chance he bites me, so Aaron has been doing all of his meds. Nesmith is such a jerk about it too. Ungrateful, little bastard :P
