exhaustion

I feel like my life has been a party lately. To be honest, I am kind of tired. Lets re cap:

1. Arizona May 15 - May 18

2. Danae comes to Seattle May 20 - 24

3. As I am driving Danae to the airport, I get a text message from Jennylyn (I was in orchestra with her in high school, she took a lot of really great pictures at the wedding, too) saying that she is with her cousins in Kent, WA and driving to Seattle! So I met up with her and her family for a bit downtown.

4. In the same period that I am driving Danae to the airport, I get a call from a mysterious 951 (Southern California) number. This is always fun because while Nolan always forgets, (for it could be anyone) I know immediately who it has to be. It's Danny Hilberg and he is in Seattle, of course. He is in town for folk life and his friends band is touring. He stays the night May 25 and leaves on the 26.

On the 26th, I wake up and feel crappy. Some sort of chesty coughy sore throat type thing has set in and I have to work at 4 o'clock. So I spend all morning and afternoon in bed. Danny leaves around 3 o'clock.

5. As I am riding my bike to work at 3.45 I get a phone call. Its Elly and Grant and their three friends. Elly and Grant are the couple we met in Lima, Peru on our 2nd to last night there. They live in Victoria in BC. They went to Sasquatch (a huge music festival up here by the gorge) and one of the cars they drove broke down on the way back. Elly and her friend end up coming to Trader Joes to borrow my phone, because of course theirs is dead. And while the car is being worked on overnight the 5 of them stay at our house. They left really early this morning to get on the road because they were all supposed to be back at work today again.

Anyhow, I am really tired. I think I will post a picture post today too.
