Under Water You’re Almost Free

Saturday marked Yvette and I being married for 6 months. What a deal. I made us some breakfast and we spent most the morning being lazy. It was already to hot outside to do much in the yard.

Bring Her Back. A horror movie I was looking forward to seeing due to the reviews stating how absolutely fucked up it was. Christ, it sure didn’t ease you in. The fucked up began about 5 minuets in and never let up. I’m talking extremely hard to watch at times. I understand why the media reported walkouts. At its core it’s a story of grief and what measures one might take to “bring her back”. What a film. It had been a long time since I walked out of a movie feeling a little in shock by what I had just watched. I satisfied.

Saturday night Yvette and I were going on a date. Taqueria Jalisco. Usually we just order a few tacos. This trip we decided upon plates. I had chicken verde enchiladas and she had chimichangas. Both fantastic. We had the house to ourselves and it was a relaxing evening.

Sunday was another lazy morning. I watered all the indoor and outdoor plants and pissed off the family of finch that are nesting in my fern. They were noisy about me watering. I’m almost certain that they will end in a tragic scenario right out of the nest. Not enough room to practice and that means something, likely my dogs, will eat them. It makes me a tad bit sad. (SPOILER: they didn’t make it.)

Teegan, Yvette my mother and I all went out for some lunch at Zero One Al House. It had been a little while. This was a Sunday tradition for years. I ended up with some tuna poke and was completely satisfied. Everyone else seemed happy with their orders. It was a fun time with good conversation.

After lunch I went tot eh car wash to vacuum out Yvette’s car. The back seat was riddled with Nerds. Little pink candy all over the place. I’m sure that was a product of Alaya. Yvette called me and said she needed a ride from her grandparents. When I arrived it was her and all the aunts. I wasn’t hot and I was grilled by them. I was also anxious. I don’t know why. We needed to run by SAM’s. On the way we made two stops to get a few more sheep. One was the bar, Blain’s, which I had not been inside of in probably 20 years. Yvette and I decided it was a good time to stop and have a beer. The place was not what I remembered. It was just a hole in the wall. Oh well, it was fun and sent me down memory lane.

After SAM’s I went to visit my mom and eventually came home for dinner. We didn’t have anything planned so I dug through the freezer and found what I needed to make a pretty damn good meal. Yvette and Lola were at the store and Teegan in his room so I ate in bed while watching my show, Silo. It was a good enough time.

Monday was a damn fine day. Work was relatively smooth and I had a full nights rest. Lots of stupid did happen but that’s just called working on a college campus.

The week went by like a blur. I was busy enough that it almost reached the point that I couldn’t tell you what day I did what. I guess that’s a good thing. We had a morning meeting that was a waste of time. I really didn’t do much of the cooking, which was weird. Yvette worked on of the many camps on the campus so I didn’t see as much of her. Plus side of that is I obtained free breakfast and leftovers to hand out to the people I work with. They seemed to appreciate it. The rain saved me having to water my grass a few days.

Some dick weed started a rumor that Yvette and I were already getting a divorce. I say rumor. It was more like someone told someone and that someone asked Yvette’s dad on campus. I think it was someone just intentionally trying to stray shit because we do t have any problems and we certainly do talk about our personally lives at work. It made me laugh and a little mad. It upset Yvette more. I just believe the people that know us know that’s it isn’t true so why care. Some people are just sad little things.

Alaya finished up her swim sessions and as a reward was gifted a little ASU shirt for her hard work. She did so good and I was so happy they had the lessons on campus where I was able to watch from afar. I’m so proud of this little girl. She is growing up way too fast.

Happy Friday!!
