Day 21: Occupied

I got a phone call at 0700 this morning telling me I could sleep a little longer, but I had to leave by 0945 to drive to San Antonio to pick up my parents who would be flying in there, instead of here.  Awesome.  Sleep did not come easy after that phone call.  I had allergies and had to take a pill. I had to feel Puck and take him out.  I had to set my alarm and try to fall back asleep.

I woke up at 0845 and spent some time brushing Puck.  He never stops shedding -- I don't get it.  I pick and pick and pick and brush him all the time, but there's always hair falling out everywhere.  He should be bald by this point, but he's just as hairy as ever.  I know, I know -- it's fur, not hair.

Anyway, I got ready and headed out.  I had to gas up the Lexus, as they wanted room for their bags.  I set up Puck in the front seat, so he could be close to me.  I got gas and cleaned the windshield at Texaco, then I stopped by Starbucks for a drink, in case I got sleepy on the drive.

Unfortunately, the big Lexus doesn't have anything that allows me to hook up my iPhone or iPod, so I was stuck listening to the radio the entire drive.  I heard a few decent songs, but I was flipping through the channels for most of the drive.

I got to my folks around 1110 or so and they climbed into the backseat.  I drove so my mind would be more occupied and less likely to focus on any back pain.  I told them about what happened back home and they regaled me with stories of their trip.

We got home and spent a couple hours unwinding, checking mail, and just hanging out, then they gave me all the gifts they'd bought me and Eisley.  Not to mention, I opened two boxes sent to me by my Aunt Sally.  She's knitted a sweater, three hats, made two blankets, and a body-sock thing for swaddling the baby.  They're all beautiful -- I'm very lucky she's good at what she does and that she's so creative and generous, too!

For dinner we went to Waterloo Ice House and then stopped by HEB on the way home.  It's nice to know there's food in the house now.

I did get a third phone call from a realtor who wants to show the house -- yay!  So we'll have three potential buyers looking tomorrow!  I really, really hope and pray someone makes an offer.  However, since my folks came home today, we're going Sunday to check on the house and replace the shower head in the master bath.

Due to my waking up three hours prior to my normal wake-up time, not to mention going to bed two hours later than normal... I got five hours of sleep, instead of my usual 10, so I am exhausted.  All I have left to do is take out Puck, then get ready for bed.

Tomorrow is undoubtedly going to be filled with nursery and baby activities to get the house ready.
