A very long weekend it was.

Friday came and went at work, and then Lucy came back from camp, and we spent the evening together. We broke up, and then we went to the Harry Potter event at Meijer, which was packed full of people, so decided to pick up the book on Saturday.

Saturday morning was spent feeding the horses at Camp Linden. They let me lead some of the horses, clipping them to the fence, and to play with the whip to keep one of them from chewing on the fence after the meal (his favorite thing). We then picked up Potter 7 with no fuss at all, and came home so I could reread 6 while she read 7.

In the evening, we shipped off to Al’s place for a fun and entertaining party. Anne rode with us, and we met George there, and all sorts of fun people were there that evening. I totally forgot Kendra’s in town!

Lucy left this morning for camp, and I spent the next 6 or 7 hours moving shay from that dump in ypsi to a lovely and roomy apartment in Farmington Hills. It is such a good move. George again helped out with his truck, his muscle, and the entertainment of his baby son. I cut my finger something good while moving a broken mug to safety, and the Hello Kitty band-aid is making typing a total bitch.

Finally, I met up with a whole bunch of people who wanted to go to Detroit to see They Might Be Giants play at the Max (where I saw the Star Wars DSO show). I saw lots of excellent people, and missed out on a few more (like juniper200), but those who remained went to a coney in Royal Oak to converse, shoot straw wrappers, and otherwise get in each other’s business. :) It was a good experience, and it was great to let myself go a little in a show that harkens back to my pre-nerdcore roots. TMBG were nerdy long before it was cool – strange and weird without any apology.

And yes, I just “threw in there” that Lucy and I broke up, because I really don’t know what to say about it. I trust her explicitly, care about her, and don’t want anyone to doubt for a moment what an amazing and wonderful woman she is. For a number of reasons, it wasn’t working, but she has been heart-wrenchingly sweet to me, both this weekend and over the span of our relationship. That’s all I really want to say about it right now.

If you’re in Lansing next weekend, please help us move Lucy to her new apartment complex a few miles south (Dover’s Crossing, for those who know). Currently, it will just be her and I, but she doesn’t have much to move, so a helper or two would be gratefully accepted.

  1. I’m claiming this coming Saturday as a day I’m not going to do any real work. I can perhaps help on Sunday I suppose.

  2. I looked for you at TMBG, were you hiding up in the balcony? Great show with a cool song selection. It was a little too loud for the room though.

    Bummer about the breakup for both of you. I’m happy that it sounds like you two are still close friends.

  7. Moving you say? Let me see what’s happening. And if the truck is still working. Yes, I was dumb on Saturday afternoon and did something I shouldn’t have. The real test is whether or not I can fix what I fucked.

    If minivans were fast, I’d be getting one right now.

    Hmmm…

  11. *hugs* And once again, thank you thank you thank you for all the help moving. :) And yes, it’s nice to be out of that dump… though I still have to go back to finish boxing up the remainder of the crap.
