Not in the mood

Hi... It blows me away just how quickly a four day weekend can fly by. It was a good weekend, though a little too damn hot to do much of anything but sit around. The kiddie pool came in real handy, enabling me to do much of that sitting around in either soggy shorts or a soggy bathingsuit.

We only got to see Devin on Thursday and Friday, he was off to see his family in Indiana by Saturday afternoon. He'll return here on July 13th and will be staying for the following two weeks before heading back to China. That'll give us time to have some more fun and hopefully go camping.

Rons truck has broken down and unfortunately, it's bad. We are in the midst of deciding whether he should fix it since he's invested so much in it over the past months, or just say fuckit, scrap the thing and get a new(er) truck. We looked at a couple of used trucks on Sunday...we just need to weigh out what would be the most feasible thing to do. It sucks and Ron is very stressed over it. I don't blame him at all. We've had so much car trouble and just want to be FREE of it so that we can save money to move. Ugh...

We were supposed to go to Rons moms for the 4th, but it didn't pan out. His mom had some unexpected things come up. I was a little disappointed, as I wanted to get out of the house. I also actually wanted to SEE his mom, it's been quite a while. We spent the day watching movies and drinking beer instead. Not a bad way to spend a holiday. I even surprised myself by playing a few notes on Rons guitar. That was fun...I seem to have an ear for music. I should try to learn an instrument...as I should do a lot of things. *sigh*

Anyway, I made us marinated lemon herb chicken thighs for dinner. I'm very good at throwing shit together in a pan, just making things up and having them turn out deeeeeeeeeelicious! Ron was so blown away that he had six or seven thighs! I don't know, I lost count after four. He's paying for that gluttony today, however. He woke up several times during the night moaning with stomach pain. Poor baby. Men... I should call him and see how he's doing...

Hmf...seems I've written quite a lot for not being in the mood to write. I'm feeling down today. I always get this way after a long weekend. Plus it's been hot and miserable for so long, we usually have a break by now. It's good to be at the cool office for a while. I hope I can go swimming at Melanie's tonight. We've been trying to arrange it but it hasn't been working out... I really need to actually SWIM in a pool. I miss it terribly.

Well, that's it for now. Hope you had a great holiday weekend. Later...
