I know it’s not just me!

This month has been crazy. LOTS of fun things, for sure, but work is also bananas, so if you’re trying to correspond with me and my response is delayed, or doesn’t make sense, or I am short with you, I apologize! My brain is a scrambled mess! All weekend, I couldn’t get words out of my mouth. Or really, in my brain, to begin with.

But let’s talk about the fun things!

As you know, I loved checking in on Bobbi’s cats while she was out of town in Florida with her family from June 1-8! I sure miss them. I bet the feeling is COMPLETELY mutual. Ha. Ha ha ha. Not.

I ran all over on Friday. Well, drove all over. I did zero running but put over 200 miles on my car. I taught class at 5:00 am, fed the kitties, got home to get ready for a Memorial Mass, picked someone up for the mass, went to mass (very far away from home), met a coworker on maternity leave to meet her new baby (!!!!), went to my manicure appointment (I love the color I got, How Does Your Zen Garden Grow?, see photo below), fed the kitties, picked up a grocery order, picked up dinner, then cleaned the house. Ahhh.

On Saturday, xaarlin and her husband stopped by the house (yay!) on their way to Milwaukee, and their dog Hampton got to “meet” the kitties! Xaar also got to play the light reflection game with Apollo through the window (he’s a big fan of this game).

Then we met them later in Milwaukee for a late lunch at Café Benelux (which apparently, will not serve their Impossible Burger until 3:00 pm, even if you try to order at 2:35 pm, FYI). After lunch, we hit up On The Bus, a completely vegan store inside the public market. Steven and I have been wanting to check it out and it was right across the street. The ice cream was delish and I can’t wait to go back and eat more (ice cream and other things on the menu)!


Steven and I had fun and regretted not getting a photo of the five of us! Duh. Sigh.

We ran errands on the way home – we had to stock up on alcohol for tailgating the next day! I sent Rachel a picture of all our “girly” drinks:

This will last us the entire summer. I did NOT put all this in our tailgating cooler, ha.

On Sunday, we left in the late am to tailgate then attend the Brewers/Pirates game! Rachel and I were talking about going to the Saturday game, when she found out a coworker had free tickets to the Sunday game he couldn’t use. The tickets were in the bleacher section of right field and included drinks and food! Thanks for the tickets, L!


It was fun to see the game from a perspective I haven’t before! The only bad part was not being able to see the huge scoreboard.


Of course I got a vegan hot dog… or two. NOM. I love hot dogs.

We had a great time with Rachel and Kevin, and really appreciated them sharing those tickets with us!

We were both so sleepy on the drive home and were falling asleep on the couch at 7:45 pm so we called it early and were in bed by 9:00! That’s what two fun days in Milwaukee with good friends will do to ya!

And work has been bonkers so far this week, and will continue to be so I feel a bit out of sorts AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
