I survived the girls-of-the-paternal-family trip to Whistler. Whew. Trip report later.

Whistler trip report

The situation: Mom has worked for her main employer for five years, so he and her other employer bought her weekend lodgings for six in Whistler, B.C., as a gift. She, because she values family and because we have a little trouble bonding with them, invited the women of my dad's side of the family: my half-sister-in-law and her two daughters, my half-sister, and, since she was in town from California, my dad's ex-wife. (They get along, don't worry.) Yes, that makes seven of us, but it wasn't a problem with air mattresses available. We drove up in two vehicles, since some people had to work Monday and some didn't. Here's what I wrote about it. You should, of course, feel free to skip around or skip entirely.

And now I am home, yay. D-cat got her teeth cleaned (and four pulled, poor baby) while I was away, but she was fine with me once I took off my shoes. Wim seems undamaged as well, and he was excellent in giving Diz her painkillers and canned food. Work tomorrow, but class is over, hurrah! That should be a lot easier, just because I won't be losing time to the class-lab two days a week. I promise to work reasonable hours now that I'm not trying to make up for that!
