Ah, May...

May has not been my friend.

I mean, May usually isn't my friend. May is concert month. May is "I gotta get through this so June can come!" month. But this May, my personal life decided to invade and get crazy as well.

First off, Kevin's mom came to visit. Always a stressful time, meeting the parents of the guy you're dating. It was fine, but you know.

Then, roommate drama. And Kevin got sick.

Then, Knott's Berry Farm with 117 kids. Some of whom thought it was a great idea to put their instruments at the front of the park, and leave them there, because, you know, people will take care of it. Right? Right...

Then, Concert on the Green usual insanity. Outside concert (blech), 250 kids (elementary and middle school), sound system setting up, stands, chairs, moving furniture, 8 different ensembles. Ended up being 2 hours long. Long! Some people I wanted to be there couldn't make it, and our videographer's camera died, so we didn't even get it recorded. (Much apologies were had from the videographer, but still...)

Then, Friday. Took Kevin to ER. Spent the weekend at the hospital with him. He has tonsilitis, mono, and some other bacteria thing. But the mono and the tonsilities is viral, so it can't really be treated with antibiotics. It is stressful watching your boyfriend act differently because he's on morphine. I was there most of the weekend. I wouldn't be any place else - of course. But it wasn't exactly what I planned for the weekend. (A month ago, Kevin and I had talked about going to Catalina. Good thing we didn't book that!)

Anyway. May is almost over. Thank goodness! Hopefully, June will be better.

Now I have to prepare to go back to Michigan...packing. Eek! But I'm excited to go back.

And, of course...to be done with teaching for a while. :)
