Home Alone and Hanging Out

     My parents left for a couple days to go to a funeral service, so I had the cottage all to myself for Tuesday and some of today. Unlike the massive parties my parents joked about me having, instead I spent most of the time playing on my Xbox and cuddling with my dog. 

    Today, I woke up at 5am to the sound of my dog whining at my door. I muster up the energy to let her outside and I sat out there with her for a bit. It's a great day out today, nice and warm, but not too humid. My dog, Zeva, loves the sun. She's the kind of dog that stays outside for as long as she can get away with. She basks in the sun, even getting up to follow the sun beams as the time passes. I used this time to take off her pesky harness and give her a good brushing. Her three favorite things in the world are getting pets, getting brushed, and getting to lay in the warmth.

    My parents just got home and we're preparing for my two best friends to come over tomorrow! It's my friend Jordyn's birthday this weekend, but we won't be able to see each other then, so we're having a little get-together tomorrow instead. We're gonna have a small cookout with hot dogs and brats, go to the local petting zoo, and hopefully go swimming! I'm very excited, although a bit nervous, to hang out with them. I only say I'm nervous because I don't really enjoy hosting, as it feels like a lot of pressure even though I know my friends aren't picky. I'm looking forward to writing about it, since I haven't seen the other friend in a bit.

    At the time of writing this, my family and I just got back from a boat ride. The weather today is fantastic, perfect for taking a leisurely ride on the pontoon. Nothing too exciting happened, but it was nice to be out in the fresh air. We did catch a glimpse of a pretty big snapping turtle, though!

    I'm excited to update on my hang-out tomorrow, so be on the lookout!
