It's been one week since we dropped Marz off. I'm ok because I keep pretending she's at camp. There's also no shortage of action around here. Marz seems to be doing great, and we talk everyday. I'm sure that will wear off at some point, but I love it. Pic of the drop...
I'm sad I didn't get one of me hugging her when we were leaving. I guess I can do that after she comes back for break and when she leaves again, but still. When we were there, we went to a JC Penney and saw Christmas jammies I wanted. We got back and hit the stores. We went to more than one because our JC Penneys don't have all the options as Marz's did. Boo. We ended up deciding on these.
My mom and I went to my dad's grave when I got back. We missed the actual anniversary, so we went late. It was still good and probably better because it wasn't so hot.
Before Marz left I learned how to make a new friendship bracelet pattern. I made a rainbow one for Marz, but I didn't get a pic of it. I've been making them left and right. I think I find them calming or they occupy my mind. Anyway, I was asking for opinions of colors, and Kevin mentioned a red, white, and blue one. I didn't set out to make one, but I picked those colors for one of them and ended up giving it to him. I think only Logan doesn't have one, but I don't think he'd wear it.

I was home and trying to get a quick breakfast the other morning. Rory was up talking to me, so I was a bit distracted in making my bowl of cereal. I sat at the table, munching away and talking to Rory. She left, and I picked up my book to read, all while still eating. I finally looked down at my bowl of cereal and saw not one, not two, but THREE dead bugs in my cereal. (pausing to allow for gags) I tossed the rest of the cereal down the drain and left because I had to go to my mom's. She told me to clean out my pantry because I probably had pantry bugs. I'm going to spare the details, but I did, in fact, have pantry bugs. The pantry needed cleaning out anyway, but ugh, it was DISGUSTING. The bugs weren't "everywhere" but they weren't just in the cereal box either. We've had the pantry cleaned out and open for a few days now before we move stuff back in. I threw away almost every dry product that wasn't sealed. Kevin found two bugs yesterday morning, and since then nothing. If we get through the whole day today without seeing any, I'll put the pasta sauce back in since that's basically all we have left to put in there. I have to get all new dry goods, and I'm getting sealed containers to put everything in. Now I know, right? Regular cleaning of the pantry is a necessity.
Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the distraction of Marz not being here, but a plague? No thank you!
