Hi, friends!
Did you have a good weekend? I hope you did.
I took my mom to the art museum today, they have a really good exhibit about Spanish Colonialism and Art produced under Spanish rule in the Americas from like 1500-1800. Usually these exhibits travel around North America, I definitely recommend it if it comes to an art museum near you! Then we went for ice cream at Clementine’s – that’s a local ice creamery that is fucking amazing. I had honey lavender ice cream and it’s good I don’t live walking distance from one of their locations, because I’d just have ice cream in my arteries.
Weird weekend for me. Daughter called in tears on Friday so my wife took off across the state to comfort her. That threw a wrench in my plans so I worked all day putting in wood stairs in an apartment that is getting new tenants today. Then I crashed a friends bday party at a local brewery. Today work fell apart so been doing a little yard work before I bring my injured friend I am babysitting some Jumbalaya.
Daughter is doing okay though?
She is, 6 girls in one house can cause drama & she was feeling left out even though I don’t think it was intended. Thanks for asking.
Oh yeah I can see that. That feeling can come on real fast and we don’t see the causes of why we’re excluded sometimes.
For example, my first semester of grad school – I was never invited to anything and after so so many Mondays of coming in and hearing people talk about how much fun the weekend was, fuck was I miserable. My favorite uncle was also dying of lymphoma back home, so really it was shitty in a lot of ways.
I didn’t realize until my second semester that it was entirely because that first semester I only had classes Mon-Wed. Plans were always thrown together on Friday in the grad student offices from people chatting, and then it was like oh yeah let’s do that and folks not thinking “we should call so-and-so.” Meanwhile, I was never there on Fridays so they thought I didn’t want to socialize.
We’re spending a few days at the semi-beach on a kinda bay. We’re near a wildife refuge that is kind of buggy. It was the only time to squeeze in with the kids schedules and a last minute thing. The weather will be pretty sucky but at least we’re away and will be eating out some. Had good spicy Thai food tonight.
Bugs notwithstanding, it sounds like a good time! I hope there’s some good nature trails nearby to enjoy.
I burned leaves and brush for 10 hours both days and only touched about 1/10 of the property. I made my dad shovel a dead raccoon off the driveway and tomorrow I have to make him unclog the leach bed. Oh yes, we are having fun times here in Ohio!
You’re really selling the dream of getting some property and living in a semirural area.
