As promised today is a twofer. We shall start with Saturday. In the day I didn't do much. The kid worked in the morning so I didn't have a car and that limited some of my options. I used it as an excuse to have a marathon Diablo session. Finished up act 2. Two more to go. She got home around 2 and then around 3:30 we headed over to our friend's house for the party. Since we were planning on spending the night and needed stuff for the parade of Sunday we both packed half the house it felt like. Seriously, I went to Europe with less luggage. On the way we stopped and had some lunch. By the time we got there it was about 5. The night was pretty fun. All in all there were probably 12-15 people there with 5 of us who were staying. We played Cards Against Humanity, drank, laughed, etc. About 11 most folks headed home, our hosts went to bed, as did the kid. That left four of us awake and bored in the living room. We ended up having one of those not quite drunk, but not tired enough to sleep kind of conversations. Just talking abut nothing in particular. Finally we ended up falling asleep around 3. See, I told you Saturday wasn't very exciting.

Sunday was fun. We were up around 6:30 and started getting into costume for the parade. We all went in full show costumes which is why we had to get up so early. We left for the city about 8:30. Since we were taking public transportation it took almost an hour to get in. We then spent the next 4 hours walking up and down the street handing out flyers. This was my second year doing the parade and I knew what to expect. For a couple people it was their first year and they were amazed at how many people stopped us to take our picture. We had people asking us to sign things, pose with them, kisses, hugs, etc. This is why it took four hours to do the equivalent of what should have been a 1/2 hour walk.  The people I met on Thursday ended up hanging out with us for a while and they too were blown away by how we were treated. The girl at one point was like 'you guys are rockstars'. Yes, yes we are.

Got back home around 4 and the kid headed off to work. I should have worked but I was so tired and had to get cleaned up that I just couldn't get into it. She left for work around 6:30 and I took a long shower and was in bed by nine. I woke up this morning to a text from the kid from around midnight saying she was coming home early as she threw up at work. I don't know the details yet, but I am a little worried. I think it was just the day and exhaustion but we will see.

Today I need to work heads down. I have two major goals and need to hit them or else.
