Boy am I glad we are going home. After last night I don’t want to hang around my relatives that much. They tire me.
I slept very poorly last night. Woke up at 230 and just stayed awake. God I hate that. At home I have a large jar of melatonin for these occurrences. Here I got zip. Always fun to listen to your wife snore her brains out for hours while you stare at the ceiling.
We got out of bed at about 730. I feel like poop. Do not look good either. I think a good nights sleep might help.
Jax was his usual self on the hotel lawn. He wandered for five minutes without doing anything. I think he prefers to shit inside. I know I do. Maybe he will go at Dads house.
On our way to Dads we picked up Starbucks for us. Nothing for the rest. I gifted that yesterday not today. The dickheads at Starbucks screwed up my order. Morons. How tough is it to make coffee? I will save it and take it in later on my way out. And watch them to be sure they get it right. I hate them.
Got to the house. No breakfast. I had pumpkin pie. My Dad ate the very last piece of lemon. Which is fine. He is a selfish old buzzard and thinks he can do whatever he wants when he is home. I’d slap him but that’s elder abuse.
There was some creme brûlée left but my son, sister and bro in law were eating out of the container. Double dipping. So I licked my finger and stuck it in. Join the fun, right? And I get yelled at. Weird.
We loaded up the car as did all others. Got the dog crapped. Kissed all goodbye. And we are off. 5 minutes later, Starbucks. Same imbecile served me again. I could tell he remembered. Jerk off. Back on the road with hot coffee. Emily driving, I drove down.
The drive was smooth, and fast. We checked in with the others who left same time as us and all reported same. We had one stop 5 miles out for gas. And home. Finally. Actually, well under four hours. Used to be longer when we lived in Dixon.
Unloading was quick since we only had two days worth and left all food there. Came in said hi to the cats. Started the laundry. Put away all the crap. Emily got a bug up her bootie and decided to mop and partially clean the house. Yes she is crazy. I did some cleaning. Put away the power cords we used for the generator. Put away the generator after getting it ready for storage. Just did odds and ends.
We finally sat down. Watch a little of the news. 60 minutes. I put a pot of soup on. Emily had made it last Thursday. It’s heating up now. We are sitting in front of TV. Marika just got home from work so we get a dose of what’s wrong with the Annex. A lot it seems. I don’t think Marika missed us while we were gone.
The soup is awesome. With sweet potato biscuits which are also very good. I am not sure what’s in them (ya, sweet potato) but I like them. Probably won’t eat them again cuz of high calories and carbs.
Tonight’s dinner was the antidote to last night. We had nice, quiet, calm conversation which we could all join in. Very unlike last night. I enjoyed being able to hear and speak without fear of reprisal.
Now it’s that point at the end of the weekend/evening where we really slow down and sit. Or if lucky go to bed. I’m sitting.
I returned to the front room after sitting. The ladies were watching bad TV which is an evening tradition. All I really want to do is go to bed. If I just get up and leave the room it might push Emily to go to bed. That’s what I’m doing.
