Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
Back to Clean
My body says it's way past my bedtime, so I'd better make this quick or it won't happen! I hate missing days because I can't always remember everything I wanted to write about or I'm forced to leave out details. Why bother writing in that case?
Work was a complete and total was of time. I had zero orientations. I literally spent my entire shift walking the track (wondering how much longer I can stand the sheer boredom before I just quit and stick with Bremerton) or talking to Taryn in 12 week. Even she wasn't that busy because half of her appointments no-showed. My day got a lot brighter at 4:40pm. That's when my manager on duty said I could leave because it was so slow. It wasn't that I got off 20 minutes early that brightened my day, it was that I got 20 minutes to high-tail it to Trader Joe's for 4th of July dinner supplies! They closed at 5pm today and I didn't think I'd be able to go, since I didn't get off until 5pm. Thank you Deborah. You made my day without even realizing it.
Tonight's dinner was amazing. It being such a gorgeous day, we fired up the grill and spent some time outside. I bought myself Argentinian red jumbo shrimp and veggie kabobs (zucchini, onion, summer squash, red/green/yellow bell pepper and crimini mushrooms. YUM), Snookums had wild Maine scallops and filet mignon. I whipped up some garlic mashed potatoes and we threw a loaf of crusty bread on the grill along with some hot dogs for Kiki and Keenan (they're not into seafood just yet).
As we sat out in the sunshine we also enjoyed a couple glasses of ice cold Moscato while the kids played in the front yard. It was great. I don't normally like wine (at all), but Moscoto isn't bad. It's much sweeter and smoother than most of the wines I've tried. I was starting to develop a little headache, but the Moscoto took care of that. I felt warm and slightly tipsy, which isn't an entirely undesirable sensation :) I have no intentions of drinking it on a regular basis (once or twice a year is what I'm averaging), but at least I know in the future something I like.
We didn't have to go anywhere to watch fireworks. Living on the water has it's advantages. We just hung out on our patio and watched the show going on pretty much in our backyard. I swear it seemed to go on forever. It started a little before 9pm and we gave up around 11:30pm. Kiki and Keenan went to bed. Kiki watched a little bit of it, but put herself to bed. What can I say? My kids take bedtime seriously!
It's time for me to head to bed. I've made a pact with myself that tomorrow I get back on track. Life is all about living, but I've been living a little too well the past few days. Lots of rich foods, even alcohol. I can't let myself go on like this or I risk slipping back into my old ways. I need to keep my disciple. And besides, if I indulge every day, it will lose it's special appeal. Back to clean tomorrow! I'm actually looking forward to it :)
