A Total Eclipse.

Saturday was a very nice day. Yvette’s daughter was in the rodeo parade so we went that morning around 10 am. That was my first ever rodeo parade. All these first with Yvette. The parade itself was kind of fun. Just a parade. Her daughter’s second parade to be in, that I know of. I like to be there for that. I Alamo slept too late. I woke up early and went back to sleep. Glad I stirred awake. we went for burritos afterwards. Mine was a messy big mess.

The rest of the day I ran around the town. I sold some old Xbox games and found out some other Game Cube games were going for over $100 on EBay. Hold those suckers. I eventually made it to my moms and visited for a bit. Picked up Yvette for a trip to get the ring cleaned and inspected. We roamed and ended up at the arcades. We both played some Skeeball. She kicked my ass. It was still fun. Had some chips and queso after that adventure.

I’m an idiot and I move things by myself. I’m trying to clear rooms in my house for my family so I moved an impossible couch. How it was moved in, I don’t know. The movers did it and I wasn’t around. It was a chore. 7 door ways latter and a lot of lifting and tilting. Christ!!! I got it out the damn front door but no way I was moving it to the garage from that point. Had to call for assistance. I love Yvette’s son. He has helped me so much during my cripple days. Bless him. One less thing out of the way. Another couch and a large chair. One step at a time.

Sunday was busy. I woke up and went shopping. After that I went to BWW’s for lunch with Yvette and our youngest. Good time. The onion ribs. My lord. Amazing. We made a trip to Sam’s for some goodies. Once I was back home I decided to cut down a tree and plant some yucca. It was a productive afternoon. With that all said and done I went to Yvette’s to hand out for a little while before I called it a day.

The total solar eclipse was a lot of fun. It was weird being on campus and it getting dark again. We had a little picnic in the gloom and watch the sun begin to fade away. Shame we were not in the path of totality but at least we had perfect clear skies. I hear cloud cover eliminated a large portion of totality. Bummer for all those thousands of people who should have had a fantastic show. After hearing from my boss just how amazing the totality was, I really wished I’d have seen it.

It was a pretty magical week over all. Yvette and I had some good times. I went by her house each evening and had a little food. Imitation crab pasta? I wouldn’t have ever thought that would be good but I was wrong. Wednesday her mom made meat loaf, green beans , rolls, mashed potato’s and Mac & cheese. It was great and fun. I talked to her father about wedding plans. Once I got home around 9 I played some Zelda until my eyes were weary and I went to sleep.

Happy Friday!!
