Saturday all alone. I woke up to my girl Hazel giving me a bath. Somehow she had managed to get above my head in bed without me noticing. I can think of worse ways to awake. It was gloomy out. Pretty perfect. I desired a burrito. I went and got a burrito. It was magical. After that beauty I found myself in Hobby Lobby looking at pumpkins, glass, and all sorts of other s***. I somehow exited the store without anything. The same cannot be said of Lowe’s, where I walked out with yet another house plant. I’m that f***ing person. HEB was next and it took a whole minute in and out. That’s all I needed to do.
I couldn’t figure out lunch. I was alone and didn’t really feel like going out. Plus, graduation weekend. No thank you. I ordered some carry out. I’ve become very familiar with carry out over the last year. We are buds. Got some for Bekah and delivered her some lunch. I think she was happy and not expecting it. I ate and couldn’t finish. Bloated.
I than decided since it was my fathers birthday I needed to get his bottle of hooch and have a drink with him later. He would have been 71. We would have been in Alpine, TX celebrating like we did every year for his birthday for over a decade. That’s just what we did. Load up and go to Alpine for his birthday weekend. Get a good drunk on. I miss that man. Hard to believe he would be 71. Needless to say, it was a little bit of an emotional day.
I decided to see my mom. Just a short visit but always fun. Her dogs are goofs. I walked away with a Chimenea. I was gifted. Didn’t know I needed one. Didn’t know my wife wanted on. It was a good visit. She has flying pigs.
I came home, Bekah got off work and I cooked. She face timed Slovak for a while. We had drinks. She did karaoke The bane of my existence. She had more drinks. Maybe too much. It happens.
Sunday we slept in till 10. It was great. It was gloomy. She felt like “a**”. As she should have. Turns out half a bottle of vodka was consumed. Drinking and FaceTiming with the Slovak. Who was actually supposed to show up on Sunday but because of the shots Saturday evening was incapable of doing a f***ing thing. Better off. Monday would have been a real tragedy if she had. The pain…
We collaborated on some breakfast nachos that turned out to be the motherf***ing BOMB. Yes, I just said that. I can’t stress how awesome they were. Bacon, scrambled eggs, beans, melted cheese, jalapeño cilantro. Salsa.
The afternoon Bekah wanted to go get a drink. We found a friend and had some drinks. Haleigh is a freaking hoot. Always the pessimist & great for laughs. I do not believe there is someone in this world so fun to f*** with. Real treat. Of course probably one too many. We ordered pizza.
Monday I awoke with a world class hangover. It was my turn to hurt. A rare thing for me. Thank god I was off. It’s the whole bar experience. I’m just not used to it after the last year. I can’t pound shots of various liquor. Thank the lord it was gloomy. I slept in till almost 11 and needed it badly. I don’t sleep in and here I have 2 days. The idea of functioning at 100% seemed awful. I went to HEB and just about died from the experience. The struggle is real.
Note: I went back and checked my blog last year. Yes, I was hungover on Memorial Day. Must be a theme. I was crying like a little kid a year ago just like I am now. Eye rolls, please.
Crockpot pork butt. Someone shared a recipe for a change. I got that going and than Bekah and I went out and search of food. We ended up at Outback. I bet it’s been since 2018 since I had been in the place. The food was good. The drink I “needed”. It was a wet gloomy day and I couldn’t have asked for more. Just not the hangover. It eventually went away.
63 degrees on the last day of May. Heavenly.
What’s Memorial Day without a little grilling. I meal prepped some burger patties for the week. It felt so f***ing good outside. I was greedy for more rain but really I was satisfied with the conditions I got.
So the tacos turned out amazing. The queso was great. Why on earth did I meal prep? I have so much leftovers.
It’s raining, I’m happy & full. Hope all of you had a good weekend. Gloomy weekend here. Cheers!!!
