What a wonderful Monday

That’s actually a pile of crap. I’m not in a good mood this morning. I had a really weird dream that involved a LOT of gore. My hand hurts, I’m tired and feel like crap, and generally would rather not do anything today. So, in an attempt to try and feel a little better, I bought a dozen donuts to share with the folks at work this morning so that maybe by doing something nice, I’d feel a little better. Well, not so much. I still feel like crap.

The weekend was…weird. We went to the beach on Saturday despite the fact that it had rained but we all had a good time. In fact, Dylan really seemed to enjoy playing in a big hole I dug. I also did a series of geocaches around the Moncton airport and it won’t be long now before I hit my 400 find mark. It is climbing quickly.

Yesterday was very blah. I got up and just did not know what I wanted to do with the day. You know how it is. You’d like to do something but you aren’t really sure what but you don’t really feel like sitting around the house. At first, I was going to go out, but then Tamara made the suggestion of putting the new BBQ together. Yes, we bought a BBQ at Zeller’s for $46. On sale for $159 but we had some gift cards that paid for most of it (that’s a whole other story) so it was a good deal. Regardless, I started putting it together on the back porch and at first, I was very annoyed. Parts of the frame are made of real cheap metal that is flimsy and did not hold together very well. Eventually, I got the whole thing put together (about 2.5 hours) and I was sweatty and beat. It was pretty warm out and I tend to sweat like a pig when I try and put anything together. But, in the end it worked out because we had BBQ for supper and it was DAMN GOOD! Awesome steak and potatoes and corn and onions. Tres sweet.

I have less than two weeks before I go on vacation and let me tell you, I am going to need it. I’m not sure if it has been work, or home, or other stuff, or maybe just a combination of everything, but I really do feel like I need a break from some stuff. Just a few days of no responsibility where I can veg out, and do very little, and just let my mind rest. Here’s to hoping that weill happen and I’ll feel refreshed come mid-August.
