Can't even find a time for a cup of tea...Now that is Sad!

It has been awhile since I can truly say I had a very relaxing day! If my memory serves me right it was when we did our Star Wars Weekend. After that everything went downhill. The 1st week of June was very stressful since I was still hoping that I need NOT to go for the Basic Training of our new Advia120 in Tarrytown,NY. Then in-laws would be coming in the same day I start my class in NY and worrying about Potsie on how is she going to handle this by herself. At the end I still had to go which now I realize was a GOOD thing ! Potsie was nice enough to drop me off in NY Sunday June 5th after coming from another work but again this work schedule is by choice don't get me wrong! And on Monday morning off she go... back to Pa to finish her loose ends cleaning. ! 1st day of class was calm. There were 12 students in our session and half of us had hands on already which made the instructors life very easy... so they say! After breaking the ice at around 10AM which was our second meal of the day already!!! I started to loosen up and let my guard down a little. The Hotel was great I have 2 queen size beds all to myself. Starbucks 24/7 from caffe latte to all the tazo tea I want yum!!! Eating like a pig never made me feel this guilty hahahahahah so I started my day with a 30 minute walk at the mill (honestly I just wanted to try the Hotel's work out room) shuttle bus pick us up at the hotel at 7:30AM which was early but I guess it's OK since you saturate yourself with all the food and caffeine they offer you. And that's all I did for 4 days... eat... drink and be merry and learn a little bit :o) Wednesday night Potsie and her mom came, since class ends on Thursday PM. Thursday was OK, after class we head straight to the OUTLETS got a couple of good buys and went back to NJ to pick up Potsie's dad. From their.... off to AC,NJ we go... Checked in at the Taj Mahal .. again for a very DECENT PRIZE :o) and was planning to head back down to the Casino at around 3 Am but never woke up. So we just waited till we checked out and then did a little leap Frog'ing. On our way back to Pa we have so many plans like fishing, picnic etc. But Potsie was beat and so am I and so we just ended up taking the folks to King of Prussia for more shopping not for US but for Cherry, Potsies sister who is in SD,Ca (needed to clear thatr in the air if you kow what I mean!). Sunday came and off to Chinatown for some Dim Sum. Some Photo APS and off we go back to our humble home since Pots have to go to work that night. Monday the 13th mom and dad are flying out of PHL at 1PM. I know this got Potsie sad but what else can we do ? Thank God Potsie have the SOS to look forward too that night. Went home took a nap so we'll have energy to consume at the much awaited CONCERT. Left the house at 4PM, stopped at Cookie Corner had some soup and sandwich. It was way to hot to be outside and so we killed some time in the restaurant. Around 6PM we head back to the venue and waited..... bless their soul they let us in at the bar to wait. All in all the night was great and Potsie danced her heart out! I was glad. And now I look forward to next weekend where I am OFF Friday and Saturday and can recoup all those busy bee lines I did. For now I must end this for I am running late with work AGAIN ;o(
