*attempts to remember everything*

I am soooo bloody tired it’s not even funny. The last two days have been packed!

Try to do a run down of the week…Um…Yeah. *laughs*

Sonja had driver’s training Monday-Thursday…I took her over and found ways to kill 2 hours each day. "
Monday was covered last entry…Picked up some food & wrote on Tuesday…
Wednesday was another running day…But it was not as easy as it should have been. Got to the park, my app said that Google play needed the license verified. O.o *headdesk*
I had to drive back to the University Center where Sonja has driver’s training to snag Internet long enough for Google play to quit being stupid…Then back to the park.
[Add to that the whole part of the Tracker not wanting to start, and having to fight with the wire to get it to start, and being parked in the worst place, as it wanted to roll backwards down a little hill.]
Thursday…Picked up some stuff to make sandwiches for our Friday trip.

Friday…Was a busy day…Everyone was actually up and moving relatively well. Still, we got moving 20 minute later than I had planned…But not too bad for us.
We headed down to get my books for next semester…Had lunch at a rest stop right outside of Grand Rapids. We sat and watched a gopher running around like crazy.
Stuffed our faces and then continued on our way.
Had a tiny bit trouble finding where the Gryffy was hiding, mainly because google maps was a bit drunk and didn’t know how far down the road or what side where she was was at.
But…Finally found her! Yay! *tosses confetti* <—Shaped like stars even…Hehehe.
Went and got 1 of the 2 books I needed (stupid book store didn’t have the other one…*growls*)…So now I need to go online and order the stupid book for the class I know nothing about.
THEN…We invaded the library at GVSU!
They just opened it, maybe a month ago…It’s HUGE! 4 floors of stuff…We found books twice. *laughs*
I’m still not sure how we didn’t manage to get thrown out…Aside from the fact, it is huge, and we kept moving, so maybe they couldn’t find us to toss us out. *laughs*
They had these chairs…They were soooo odd! The seats moved, and the backs moved, independently of each other…I swear, you could almost use them as exercise equipment.
Then we went to check out the trees at the Arboretum. <—Used spell check to get that right. *laughs*
OMGs…I swear, Sonja wanted to eat anything that resembled being edible…Including the tiny fruit off this one tree that said it was edible, but tasted bad…She thought it was loverly…It did taste bad though. Bleck.
Was a wondrous day of adventure! *grins*
Then we returned the Gryffy to her beloved in the parking lot…& the night went allllllll long. *falls over*

OMGs…They are working on some of the roads, or something, I’m not even sure. All I do know is they have the one ramp to 131 North closed…& that their Detour SUCKS! It does not have good signs telling you where you need to go, as such, we somewhere/somehow missed where we were suppose to turn.
Sonja had been making jokes about being too close to Detroit, just because we were downstate…Well we ended up really too close to Detroit…Like driving over/thru it.
We have learned a couple things…We don’t go anywhere too far a field without a legitimate map anymore…Had I had one, it would have been easy to find our way back to where we needed to be. As it was, we kept looking for a sign to point to a proper road…Finally we found one, got ourselves headed the right direction.
Thankfully, Harley had fallen asleep, as he is prone to panicking when he thinks we are lost, let alone if he had known we were really lost. Plus he had been saying he was hungry…So hungry and scared would have been a huge nightmare. By the time he woke up, we were on the right path, so he took the whole being lost thing rather well.
By the time we got home it was midnight…I was too tired to even update my art for the day…Luckily I had taken a picture that I had decided could work as my art, so it was at least done.

Saturday [Today]: Week 5 Workout 1 for Zombies, Run! 5k…& boy it was a workout. Combined I ran over 20 minutes…I ran the whole first 5 minute free run & the last 10 minute free run. Part of the drills included 8 1-minute runs…& I ran part of the first 10 minute free run. I can tell you, I appreciated the 5 minute break between the two 10-minute free runs.

After that, came home and got ready to go to Boyne, as there was some kind of gathering going on…Ray said it was something like 6 groups he belongs to getting together…They had tents sat up all over the park, and a forge, and large tent where guys were preparing food & women were preparing wool, making into thread and yarn and stuff.
Sonja & Harley found a couple dogs, and learned about the kind of work the one dog does.
There was a display of armors & weapons through the ages, of which Harley asked questions and got a brief history lesson on all of it…Okay, not too brief, but it wasn’t too terribly long.
Ray had me hang onto this one sword he had made and they had for sale…It was a nice little sword, all shiney & sharp & pretty…& then he took it away…*pouts* *laughs* 

We probably make two circles of the place, just checking stuff out. Harley hadn’t wanted to go to begin with, but then said he was glad that he had gone. Sonja didn’t want to leave when we were on our way out…& on the ride back towards home declared she was going to be a viking when she grew up…Then a dophin viking…Now she’s back to just being a dolphin. *laughs* 

I’m soooo tired tho…Too late for a nap…So I’ll just have to hang int there till bedtime…After all, body has been trying to wake me up way to early as it is…I have to keep telling it no, not time to get up, I still get to sleep in for a couple weeks.

Eeeep! Wrong side of the state, wrong side of the state! Tis Sonja’s fault for her jokes. hahaha Glad you guys finally got home though. Booo. I’m lucky enough that if I want I can easily take a nap when Dan is at work. However, on his days off we’ve been waking up early. Grumble grumble, odd bodies! *prods at them* STAR CONFETTI!!! At least their bigger then just glitter, so hopefully when they clean the room it will come up really easily. Hahaha
