The Last Week of the Semester.

Saturday I had a little situation I needed to take care of. Yvette was dog sitting her oldest son’s pump and the bigger one killed a cat. Poor cat. I don’t think it suffered long. I went over and bagged the poor little critter. Really hope it wasn’t someone’s pet. Didn’t have a collar. I hate that.

After that disgusting deed was done I made us some breakfast. Teegan is taking culinary arts and his final is making an omelette. Well, he had never made one. I showed him the best method to make a delicious presentable omelette. I hope he aces the exam. For Yvette and I it was steak, over easy eggs and roasted potatoes.

After breakfast and dumping the dead feline I went home and worked in the yard. I’ve needed to do that for a little while. Been busy with the wedding, Thanksgiving and other obligations. Once that was behind me I went and ran quick errands before getting ready for the graduation. The girl was all decked out. I was so happy for her. After that appearance Yvette and I went our separate ways to run our own errands before graduation parties.

The first party was basically just a dinner. Yvette’s dad cooked for it so yummy it was. The second was also dinner, but these kids liked to drink. They somehow managed to lasso me into drinking games and shot gunning a beer. It was fun. We left after midnight. All in all a good damn day.

Sunday we slept in. I started moving around 9 and started the grill, made coffee and cleaned the floors. Breakfast was a cheese omelette and brisket/cream cheese stuffed bacon wrapped jalapeños. One of Yvette’s favorites. I never would have really thought them as a breakfast side but they work great. After breakfast I started my dinner. I needed to sear some boneless bork ribs before I tossed them in the slow cooker. That accomplished, I ran errand while Yvette moseyed on over to her parents to have a lunch and hang out. I had things to do. It was a busy day. I started painting the doors to Teegan’s room but gave up when I realized that the paint I was covering would need to be neutralized before. Oh well. I still accomplished a lot.

Monday was a Monday. I was so tired from the weekend and I had very little to do making it very hard to stay awake. It dragged on and on and on. Once I finally got off I ran to the post office to drop off some eBay sales. After that it was a quick run to the store and a trip to my mother’s. She just got back into town so we chatted a bit.

I had an appointment with some plumbers. Damn bathroom sink. The news was not good. A quote will be made, so the next thing I did was call my insurance agent. That conversation also ended in more bad news. I was on a roll here. It’s times like these I wish I had a millions of dollars at my disposal. Alas, I do not. I explored other options and called around looking for other ideas. It’s just a damn sink.

Wednesday was the day of work Christmas parties. One vendor which we spend a LOT of money with had brisket, sausage, beans and potato’s. I grabbed a plate to go. We had our own work Christmas party going as well. I also loaded up. Looked like Yvette and I were all set for lunch.

That night Teegan and I watched a new holiday thriller called “Carry-On”. The story was set on Christmas Eve in an airport focusing on one unfortunate TSA agent and his very bad night. Basically he has to allow a passenger on the plane or his pregnant girlfriend will be killed. Jason Bateman did a great job as the antagonist. It was actually a rather great little film and we both enjoyed watching it.

Thursday morning vampires. I dropped Yvette off at work and had my date with the vampires. I hate my labs and I really dislike the doctor’s visits. I get bad anxiety over what the results might be. It’s just who I am. I had a really long day. Excited and love my life but I need to do so much it’s heavy on me and I’m stressed all to hell.

One thing. I’m so happy to not be alone for the holidays. I’m so happy that I have the family that I have and the new family that I found. Yvette is an amazing woman who became an amazing wife. I remember a lonely holiday. I remember how lonely lonely can feel.

Friday the day was long but I was busy. I ran around town with my Santa hat. No one was on the campus. I worked through lunch until 3 and had my doctor’s appointment. Rushed tot hat and had great results. Next I rushed home to meet a guy about installing an interior door. Finished that and started dinner for us.

“A Very Merry Christmas”. Yvette and I watched this little short hour Christmas special. I try and watch it every year. It’s fun. Nothing special. A little musical.
