The Storms of Early Summer

The weekend was busy. I went with Yvette and her daughter to look at something and after that we all went to a 1 year olds birthday for 3 hours. It was a lot of fun. The food was bloody amazing. Straight up hibachi grilled chicken, veggies and fried rice made outside on location. Homemade egg rolls to boot. I avoided the fried rice. So sad. I also avoided all the sweets. So sad.

After the party I went home and began to replace a. Token window. It’s been two years that I’ve needed to do that. Years ago I had a sleep walking incident and I locked myself out of the house. I managed to get into the garage but the door to the kitchen was oddly locked. It’s a small windowpane. I smashed it out half awake. It’s taken me this long to fix it. Mainly I didn’t care, I had a divorce to worry about finalizing. I also didn’t want to be charged what I knew would be over $100. Well I decided I would just fix it myself. Buy the glass and cut it and fix it. Well, I fixed it. It was a rather fun home project. I’ve been motivated more to do things now that so much of my pain has parted me. I think I did a fine job.

Sunday was a shopping day. Yvette and I went to Sam’s and HEB. I meal prepped both breakfast and lunch for us. It’s the way to go. Plus it’s fun and a lot cheaper. We had some wings and onions rings for lunch at BWWs and that evening her son was going to have a shrimp broil. Exciting. What a great meal. I was excited. Sadly, a busy fun weekend never last long enough. Like a blink of an eye they say goodbye.

I woke up Monday with no “want to”. I could have slept and slept. Monday was actually busy. I guess that was a good thing. It sped up the process of getting through the damn day.

Friday finally came around. It was busy. During on busy moment I cut myself. On rusty metal. I bleed. Not knowing when I last had a tetanus shot I decided better safe than sorry. Lucky for me, during my hospital stay in 2022 I already had one.

That evening I made it home, started the potatoes, set the table and hurried to the store. I was afraid the storm you kill my dinner night. I had 3 people come. Yvette and the kids. I called after the store trip because the sky was wild. They came over. We did get hail (small) and lots of wind and rain. Dinner was great. Son and I finished our show and were sad we had a year to wait. WTH would we watch in the mean time.

The storm was great. Happy Friday!!!
