Birthday Weekends!
So 1: the crocs worked pretty well. My feet still hurt, but not as badly as they did before.
Number 2: I talked to the boss. And she says she doesn't think there will be a problem for my Birthday Weekend of Fun. The schedule will probably look like this:
Friday 9/18: work in the morning, then drive down to BMore. Be in town probably in time for a late dinner or some such.
Saturday-Sunday, 9/19-20: ???
Monday 9/21: drive back sometime in the morning so I can crash for a little while before working that afternoon/evening.
I will know for SURE for sure by Tuesday. But I think it's safe to put together a schedule. I'm looking for a place to crash and to spend some time with the much beloved friends.
