I’m so worn out I’m invisible.

This morning was hell – Skype was being a brat last night and kept waking up and wanting to play. The whole week has been tiring and that just wiped me out. While driving to work this morning I felt as if I was invisible. Other people apparently thought that too because I had no less than three people try to merge into the lane I was driving in and nearly sideswipe my car. *sigh* At least the week is almost over.

This has been a long week in general. I’m still getting used to work life with Skype, and still coping with our loss of Bear. I’ve been on a huge Anime kick and have spent most of my evenings hanging out with friends watching movies and cuddling with the boy. I have not been sleeping well and so my general tiredness has been dragging the rest of my life down a notch as well.

I guess the high point of my whole week was on Sunday. My dad has a couple of weeks off and is spending them up in Canada with his parents. He passed through Seattle on Sunday and stopped off to visit with me for the afternoon and then stayed the night before heading up to Vancouver on Monday morning. He got to my place just before noon and we got to have lunch and dinner together.

It was really nice to see him and catch up. The older I get the closer I get to my parents and the more I appreciate my time with them. It’s always nice to just spend a few hours talking and watching movies with dad just like old times. Now that I only see them every couple of months I look forward to seeing them and am always sad to see them go.

My mom will be flying into Seattle next Tuesday and I’ll get to hang out with her. She will stay the night then my dad will come down and meet her so they can go spend next week together on the coast. I’m pretty sure that as much as they miss their kids they are probobly pretty happy to have us both “out of the nest” so they can take vacations together like this without a bunch of screaming kids to deal with.

I’ve been meaning to update this blog for a couple of days now but I just can’t seem to find the time. I’ve been keeping myself busy (read distracted) and that’s been helping me cope with everything. Hopefully this weekend I’ll get a chance to really relax, bond with Skype, and get caught up on some things around the house before Mom comes into town on Tuesday.
