Easter Weekend
Now that I'm back at Georgetown, I had a long weekend for Easter, as the University gives employees Easter Friday off of work. I was able to accomplish quite a bit with my three day weekend, although I wish I would have had more time.
First, I spent Friday first moving some stuff from the apartment in Richmond back up to DC. This was not a whole lot of fun, seeing as how I had to battle the traffic for Easter weekend in both directions. I did manage to get a substantial portion of the stuff moved, though. Really all that is left is the furniture, which I'll need a bigger vehicle to move. Unfortunately, I had to rush back to DC because Martha and I were scheduled to meet with a mortgage banker with BB&T. I made it in time, and we were able to talk to the mortgage guy about what we can expect if we decide to pursue buying a condo. I think Martha and I both left with a better feeling than when we arrived, if that says anything.
Saturday was a little bit of a bummer. We had to take the cat and dog to the vet at 8:30am. Getting up that early wasn't pleasant, but the vet trip wasn't the greatest either. Saber (the cat) always freaks out at the vet, and he was shaking up a storm and trying his best to hide. Luckily, he got his shots and was healthy - still a little overweight, but he had lost some since last year. The dog, on the other hand, did not get such good news. We had discovered several lumps in varying places on her skin, including a rather large one on her stomach. This is actually what lead to the vet appointment in the first place. So, in the process of the vet appointment, the vet identified several more lumps - five in all - that they want to remove from Glory. They shaved her spots, took blood and a sample of the lump on her stomach, and I'm taking her back in on Thursday to have them all biopsied. I hope they are just fatty cysts or something benign...
Sunday was pretty cool, although I was skeptical at first. I had purchased a gift certificate to Natural Body Spa for Martha as a Christmas gift. She called and found out that they were open on Easter Sunday, so she decided we should both go for one of their "Sinus Relief Massages." Having never gone to a spa for a massage, I didn't really know what to expect. However, it turned out to be pretty awesome. The massage was pretty good, but the thing I particularily liked was the aromatherapy oils they used. My sinuses were clear by the end because of those things. So yeah, I'd definitely go back and do that again.
All in all, it was a decent weekend. Hopefully nothing is wrong with the dog, and this week will be a decent one too.
