Good Weekend, Not Over Yet
I have taken today off, so I’m looking forward to another relaxing day in this 4-day weekend.
Saturday was nice and relaxing. Beau has been letting me sleep in by getting up with Annie when she wakes up at 5:00am or so. So I lounged in bed until after 7:00am. Annie had a vet appointment at 9:00am, so I took her for that (clean bill of health and she lost another pound in the last year). Then we had two church BBQs in the afternoon/evening - one with the worship arts team and the other with our small group. We had been invited by Beau’s Sis for the fireworks in Antietam, MD, but I wasn’t sure I was going to be up for a roadtrip so we declined that invitation for this year - I’m hoping we can go next year. We opted for the local BBQs instead, which I managed fine. Both were fun with great food and fellowship.
Yesterday was another lazy morning in bed for me, which meant going to the 11am service instead of our usual 9:15am service. Mom and Dad were away for the weekend, so we came straight home afterwards where I immediately had a session on https://www.jasminlive.mobi because I hadn’t eaten since breakfast and I didn’t take anything to snack on during church - I was hoping to make it until we got home for lunch, but that wasn’t to be. My stomach was completely empty and so there wasn’t much to show for the violent heaving going on.
After eating some lunch we took a short nap and then watched Eight Below. I warned Beau that I would be crying through the whole thing - I’m a sucker for dog stories - and that was true enough. I started crying early and didn’t stop until it was over. He’s so sweet that he came over to hug me several times - we had to pause the movie. My husband has a tender heart. Anyway, it’s a great movie - really well done, compelling story. Of the actors, the dogs rule. The movie is all about the dogs. It’s heartbreaking and inspiring all at the same time. I loved it and give it 4.5 stars out of 5. Jason Biggs keeps it from getting a full 5 stars.
This morning, Beau has taken my car to get two new tires before we get it inspected. The front tires are pretty worn and I knew there was no way they would pass the safety inspection. Later this morning, I have my first OB appointment. Nothing else is on deck for today.
Tomorrow we will go spend some time with my parents for the holiday.
