Road Trip Week

I'm going to need a day to collapse and rest soon. But seriously, there is no time for that when one is busy holidaying hard! Well, actually Monday was a little bit of a day of rest. I lazed around my house until the late afternoon when I went to the gym, then met up with Jason for sushi/gelato in the evening.

Anyway, on Tuesday I got a car and drove Miss Rilo to my parents' house. You know what that means - my travels are approaching very soon! Rilo was less angry in the car, but still grumpy about the whole trip. However, she was happy as soon as we got to my parents' house. She likes it there, and they like her a lot, so everyone is happy once the car ride is done.

While in St. Ratford last night, I finished reading Wicked. Yes, Jabba, I survived the bear scene. ;) I felt the book was very good during the first part, and then it picked up again in the fourth and fifth parts. I'm very excited for the musical in NYC!

I left bright and early this morning to return the car, then meet up with my pal Eric at the gym. I wanted to stay in air-conditioning as long as possible, so I ran after our class, and then got my hair cut and my eyebrows done. Then, I came home and had a nap. I woke up from my nap insanely hot, so I decided to take myself to the movies to see Horrible Bosses. It was really, really funny. It's worthwhile to see even if you don't need to go see a movie mainly for the air conditioning.

So, tomorrow the temperature in Toronto is supposed to reach 37 degrees Celsius. I am yet again picking up a car, then getting my work spouse, and we're going to drive to Midland, Ontario to visit a friend who used to work in our department. We miss her a lot and I haven't seen her in a year and a half, so it will be a fun day.

On Friday, I will undertake my third road trip of the week: Jason and I are heading to Guelph to the Hillside Festival. It'll be three days of indie music in a conservation area with lots of yummy food. I've been excited for this ever since we got our weekend passes in April. It looks like the weekend will be hot, but hopefully dry (maybe thundershowers on Sunday... fingers crossed they hold out). I'm also looking forward to staying in an air-conditioned hotel. How sad is that? Every summer I say I'm going to get an air-conditioner, and then I make it until the typical July heat wave, get too busy, and then figure that if I've survived this far, why bother?

After the three road trips, I'll have Monday to get ready for my big Chicago/Utah/NYC excursion, and then I fly out on Tuesday.

And the holidaying hard continues.
