"vacation"

Is it a vacation if you do some work?? Well I had to do some work as I did not have anyone doing the work for me while I was trying to relax. So basically one could say that instead of the four days of vacation I only did three... But hey who's counting... Not me.

So continueing the last post my Xmas ended in not so happy feelings (what's new and the reason why I don't do that stuff normally). So the Monday (boxing day) I was home. I can't now remember wheather it was monday or sonday but I talked to my mom about going to my granny's place to pick up some stuff (if you don't know yet, she died). The only day that was good for my mom and aunt was tuesday which wasn't so good for me.

Well I decided to risk it (as sometimes the plans that I have made are not kept by others) and go to Pieksämäki on Tuesday. I woke up early and went. I might have been speeding a bit as there were no snow. There had been snow on Xmas eve but the boxing day storm melted all away. (It hadn't been much, but the ground had been white). So I think I did a record and was there just over 2 hours. For normal winter weather it would take over 3 hours. One big thing was that there were no road renovation? and I was able to drive the top speed the whole way there.

Just as I arrived there my mom started telling what would be for me and what for my sister in law and what for my brother. She didn't mentioned my sister at all... She was a bit mad that my sis hadn't told her about the wedding. (Not just a bit mad she had tried to yell at me over the phone a bit earlier, can't remember when but it was just after the wedding)(she already knows that if she yells at me I will put her in her place)(My sis used to tell our mom that if she didn't behave my sis would tell me...That is our family dynamic). Anyways, I had been there for ten minutes when my mom was about to leave. I was like so you wanted me here because... (just thinking to my self I mean). So I ended helping my aunt with taking stuff to recyling and to the flee market. Then I packed my car (full with extra stuff) and left for home. Oh, first I did have a cup of tea with granny's neighbour.

Then when I got home, I asked my friend if she was home yet. As it turned out by risk was succesful and she was not yet home. We made new plans for the next day. The next day just as I had arrived to my friends place with xmas gifts and small baby clothes my sister in law asks if I would like to go to Ikea with her and the kids. If the original plan had kept I would have been able to go, but as it hadn't I was not to. I didn't intent to stay that long at my friends place as they were supposed to continue their xmas journey soon. I did stay for few extra hours. Then I went home.
