Parents arrive

The parent's have officially arrived for a month long visit to the States. They had a few issues which delayed them getting to us and I believe at that point they were exhausted. First off there were some dings on the car they had to report, not to mention the car was far larger than they expected. Then they got an optional NavSat which supposedly doesn't work properly, I'll let them worry about that one.

Eventually they finally managed to find our apartment poor Jagr did have to go searching for them a bit because I knew I had seen them go by. Oh on the bright side we managed to declare ourselves officially unpacked from the move before they got here. I was able to get up the pictures on the wall which was the last thing that really needed to be done. Approval was given on the apartment and a nod that it was an improvement on the last place.

Today's plan is I'm working a normal day although I might leave early as I have no doubt I'll still work during my 'vacation'. Next year I'm promising myself that we will go away and leave everything behind nothing no internet no email, cellphone only for emergencies but I will not be checking email like I will this time off and I will not go into the office to help finish off end of month accounting. I swear I have to be totally mad to be doing that.

I'm glad that I had set up an appointment with my G/F for Mum so that she can get some TLC, poor Mum has got a stinker of a cold which I know is not easy for her to fly with. She's in for some royal pampering I think at least 2 hours of spa like treatments so hopefully that will help to rejuvenate her a bit. Must not forget to write my G/F a thank you note for that. Nothing like a facial and massage to help things along a bit. We plan on meeting up again tonight for dinner and chatting about Friday for which I'm off so that should be nice. Course whenever my folks wake up in the morning they can probably make their way over to us as there should be someone there even if they are awake stupidly early.

Party on Sunday which should be fun and then shopping for a new table and chairs for the dinning room our current furniture just looks awful in there and is very abused at this point so will be nice to have a set of chairs and a new table.

Beyond that no real plans while they are here other than enjoying the company. I'm sure we will go out for some day trips tho so that poor Jagr can get some undisturbed sleep, although for the most part when he's tired he does sleep like the dead.
