Random Notes

This morning was quiet. Laura had been promised first gaming dibs, but she was asleep when Andy started lobbying for a turn. April said he could play on the grounds that he had to hand the controller to Laura as soon as she woke up. I think he managed to slaughter zombies for three minutes before her eyes snapped open.

The kids stuffed themselves full of Crunchberries and goofed around on assorted games until April started herding them toward packing up their stuff. They may not have brought a lot of clothes, but they had plenty of entertainment.

Joey's little suitcase cracked me up the most. I think there was a single shirt in it, but he had several blocks of wood. I'm not talking about cute little cubes with colored letters on the side; I'm talking about sawed-off lengths you could use to board up the house if the zombies tried to get in. When I questioned it, the kids explained that he used them for his train set so he could elevate the tracks and not be stuck with a flat circle on the floor.

They left shortly after noon, loading up the van and fleeing back to the house at Drawdy. Mom and Dad are still without electricity, so they may end up spending the night at April's. The family refugee wheel keeps on a'turnin'.

I'll see them again Sunday when I go home for a delayed Christmas.

In other news, the smokin' hot UPS delivery guy turned up at my door again, this time sans supervisor. If the sister and family hadn't been there... well, I still wouldn't have propositioned the guy, but my fantasies would've been a hell of a lot dirtier.
