For one, Roboter got to meet the parents--on BOTH sides of the matter! He survived rather well the visit with Dad and Stepmom, and he got to play a couple of fun rounds of Uno [best. card. game. EVER.] and caught on quick! Dad told me as I was taking care of my laundry that he thought Roboter "is a nice guy." Now... imagine how thrilled I was... hee! Roboter also got to meet Grandpa Jim, and the two talked of World War II, which both Grandpa Jim AND Roboter's dad both took part in. I was rather excited [and happy as hell, to be honest] as I watched and listened in on the conversation, which unfolded at the Dinner Table.
Monday was also the starting point for my Mom's journey to Chicago--yes, she and Stepdad are moving to Chicago! They visited me and my brother Robbie on Monday afternoon and also met Roboter. Needless to say everyone got on along rather well. And of course, Robbie... the typical smartass that he is. But, as I said, everyone got along very well. I was pleasantly surprised!
Friday was when Roboter arrived into town--the poor thing! >.< I don't blame him for having a proper panic over driving in Florida... for one I'd had my share of its hells. But, he made it in one piece... he flew in to Orlando. I'm just glad and thankful he was able to arrive in one piece!!
Saturday we mostly hung around the apartment, not much went on. Except for extra sleep. Sleeping in was definitely in order, especially after one helluva week that led to it. I for one was rather exhausted by Friday afternoon when I clocked out at work. *sigh*
My 'adopted' big brother Ani also got to meet Roboter at Church on Sunday--though I didn't get to see much of it because I was inbetween being the Chorister and being the Carilloneur [yes, I was on Carillon duty Sunday, Corky was out of town]. But apparently all kinda went well, or so that's what I'm thinking from what Roboter told me about meeting Ani. *shrug*
Oh and... I am now a newbie fan of... well... this...
Top Gear ~ The Vietnam Challenge... Part 1!
So... yes, I am a fan of Top Gear as of recently. What?
Yesterday was the longest. day. EVER. Roboter took me to work in the morning before having to catch the flight back home to spend some time with his parents. Work was kinda... well... bleah. It didn't take long for me to miss him already. And then last night, Kids Night... I now do this by myself. Last night was the first night I was in charge of it, and taking on that by myself... oh my God. It didn't take me too long before I got into a proper panic about it, because the 6-7 P.M. hour was extremely chaotic. In short, 15 kids... all. at. once. Needless to say I was drop-dead-exhausted by the time it was time to put the pics together on the wall at 8:15 P.M. And I was still exhausted when I got to work this morning. As you can tell, however, I did survive--otherwise I wouldn't be blogging about it, right?
Oh and... I am officially happy to say that, Siren has FINALLY realised that, there is no such thing as a second chance for him! Oh don't get me wrong--do y'all have any damn clue as to just how long it's taken for him to realise the fact of the matter that, I don't love him anymore! At all! But he sure wanted to try to throw some two cents early on last week before trying to pursuade me to consider that second chance. And I'm sure he must've thought I wasn't serious when I told him "No" at least three times... but, as I haven't heard from him since Monday afternoon, when I told him that I don't trust him with my heart anymore [which, as y'all know, is SO true], I think it's safe to say that I finally got through to him. That, as of now, has been the biggest accomplishment of the time Roboter was here, hands down, because Roboter was there to help keep my chin up through it all.
Sooo... all in all, I had been very busy. And between the anxiety of the visit between Roboter and I, I think we were definitely able to enjoy each other's company. But now... things resume some sense of normalcy. Except, the loneliness hurts just a little more now, because of the time spent together with him. However, we still have much to tend to... yet we still have each other. It's hard to explain, but I do think our time spent together was time well spent. We're happy... that's probably all that matters now, right?
Tomorrow is the next Thursday Tradition--I'm not saying who it is... wait. Did I even mention anything about it...? No... aw hell... I'm sure I'll think of something. Some band or another. Like... maybe... oh, I don't know... maybe... erm... Better Than Ezra? Yeah! that's it! Better Than Ezra, and Semisonic 'cause I owe one on 'em too. So it'll be a double-feature on tomorrow's Thursday Tradition here in the Underground! Okay, it's official--I am psyched for this!
And on that minor bombshell, Until the nex--
oh shoot. I almost forgot.
And on THAT minor bombshell... Until the next round...
