Day

Woke up ~1000. Bummed around and housecleaned for the hour between noon and one, as Votania's mother (and father, and great-aunt and Jewel) were to be coming over.

The reason for this visit was a belated birthday gift for Nephew, from one of the out-of-state aunts. It turned out to be Bob the Builder legos, the nice big ones. Instant hit.

Jewel played Drakan. When Grandpa started getting sneezy, we hitched a ride to AZ Mills Mall, and wandered around in there.

Got rocks. Mmm, rockses. Mmm. Love my rockses. I'm collecting such a number of bits of fluorite... cracked semi-obscure jokes to the tattooed guy at Black Market, which made him laugh. I mean, you have to have a garnet & dagger necklace, and when there is a triangle fluorite pendant with an oval Made In China sticker on the other side, and you look at it from the side without the sticker, and just see the oval in the middle of the triangle, of course you're going to laugh.

Came home on the bus, after finding the bus stop (finally!). Votania and I ganged up on Marx; his ass off was teased. During the second leg of the trip, the long long ride home on the Red Line, Votania played paper-rock-scissors/sword-gun-ziggybomb with Nephew. I gave Marx hugs. Then we swapped, and I played the game with Nephew, and Votania hugged Marx. Poor boo has headache and should get sleep.

Nephew really needed a nap. He's been too goofy for us all day, acting up in the mall, not sitting down on the bus, talking to strangers. Dinner, being not PBJ or hot dogs, caused a screaming fit. Marx convinced Nephew that goulash was not ghoulish, and it is now his bedtime. Yay.
