2/22/2022 wednesday at midnight it was rainy all day today. warm enough to just leave the front door open and let the fresh air in while listening to the rain outside. a little lightning later in the day, but otherwise a fairly tame storm I've had a busy week. about a week ago my parents visited for dinner- then a few nights later i had dinner with my boss and his family. Yesterday, a couple of our friends from up north arrived to stay for the week. They received a christmas gift in the form of a pair of amtrak tickets which basically go as far as you please within some time period. stopping first in NY, then chicago, california, and now here- seems like theyre having a good trip so far, and niw they'll be staying here for the week until we drive em back up at the end. I'd like to take a trip like that sometime, but I should focus on my work for now. last night we drove em around while enjoying the rain, today we visited a few shops and things- went grocery shopping with em which was a fun time. we played super smash bros last night and monopoly tonight. i think i was being a bit too much of a sore loser during monopoly and may have ruined the vibe. oh well, im tired fallin asleep good night
