weekends without friends

The weekend went well. A lot of activity. My mother came to stay for the week (though she jokes that she may stay all winter). Holly, Jordan, and I went to pick her up on Saturday morning. Then we went out to lunch at one of Holly's favorite restaurants - The Big Bowl. Then we went back to my place, sent Holly and Jordan on their way home, got mom settled and took our separate naps.
Yesterday, Holly, Jordan and Shayne came over to swim and visit. Jordan enjoyed the extra visit time with Grandma and took extra joy out of emptying the entire Black Box where he keeps his treasures at my house (mostly my tools and other such things).

Lots of activity for my cats. They keep staring at me like, "why? Why are all of these people here?" I think they have adjusted to "Grandma" though. She walks slow and doesn't move from one spot to another too often. So, they have learned to just leave her alone. Though I did hear Grandma and Cozy arguing in the hall while Grandma was on her way to the bathroom. Cozy was hissing and Grandma was threatening to take drastic measures if she didn't make it to the bathroom on time. I just stayed in my bed and silently chuckled. I figured they'd work it out.

Anyway, back to work today. It's just me in the IT department. I hope there are no crisis I can't handle. I wonder what the plural of crisis is...and how it is spelled. Hmm.
