summertime

i had a pretty easy start to the week. worked few hours the days i was scheduled and actually had two days off in a row. we went to kings dominion on one of those days. it was sunny but not too excruciatingly hot. and it was in the middle of the week when they close at six still so in four hours we were able to ride just about every roller coaster without any lines. including the new dominator.and the ferris wheel. which was new to us.
we stopped by the congo grill but it was closed so we didn't get to say hello to kayla at her new job. on my next day off i dragged gareth out shopping with me and i found this great new luggage. it's like a duffle bag but it's got wheels. fits my tripod and hopefully everything else i need to take. we also went to olive garden with the gift card my mom got gareth for graduation. it was delicious as usual. and he finished the entire lasagana as usual. i had a bit of a scare with my phone this week. it got wet at kings dominion and wasn't working for a few days. it started working last night. before that i was scrambling around trying to figure out which phone service to sign up for. but i'm safe for another month. our family plan ends the end of june and i have to sign up for my own for the first time. or get on gareth's. but that'll be another hill in a month. right now i'm working too much to think about anything else. i worked a ten plus hour shift closing last night and i'm working ten plus hour double shifts today through wednesday to get all my hours in before i leave. but i got an extra day off before i leave so hopefully i'll be able to recuperate before heading out on our big adventure. i finally sent my guyana story out to foster parrots and they sounded grateful. said they'd put it up on their website. i'll post when i see it.
