I’ve been down on myself the last few weeks. I thought being on vacation would snap me out of it but the whole time I was gone I kept thinking of the time lost that I would have when I returned back to work.  The exciting news that I got from my doctor while I was away seemed to have helped but now that I have my doubts about the results I just can’t help but feel down again.

The heat has a lot to do with it I feel because I wanted to do something with my kids today being that they were home and not working but everytime I went outside I was just drained from the heat and humidity.  Plus, with all this humidity, it makes it difficult for me to breath.  The next two days the rain chances has increased to 70% so maybe after the storms roll in here at least it will cool things off a bit.

This coming Thursday, June 29th, I will have been married for 25 years.  I have already made reservations for Saturday at a place called Perry’s Steakhouse.  It’s a bit pricey but my wife is worth it.  Putting up with me and all my ailments; she deserves more than a pricey steak and a night on the town.  She’s going to flip when she sees the prices on the menu though. But maybe the flowers that I have ordered that will be sitting on the table when we arrive will take away some of the shock.  We don’t usually go out on the town like this.  It’s usually places like Logan’s steakhouse where you pay $12 to $15 for a steak or go to Cracker Barrel.  Those places are more to our taste.  If I get out of Perry’s for less than $200 I’ll be lucky.

July 4th is coming up in a week and I have that day off which means a three day weekend.  If I can just make it through this week.  So you see, I have a couple of things to look forward too.  With this in mind maybe I can get out of this slump that I’m in and I can have a brighter outlook.  It’s going to take me some time for me to build up more vacation time but at least my doctor’s appointments are down to a minimum right now.  That’s another thing that has me upset is the fact that right now if I have a family emergency I can’t do anything about it.  I can’t take off right now if I had too.  Tomorrow, if I’m not wrong, I should have 10 hours built up.  That’s not much but it’s a start.

I hope everyone has a great week ahead.

I got out of bed and looked out the window to see a peaceful ocean this morning.  The past few mornings the waves had been breaking as far out as far as the eye could see but today not so.

Kids wanted to do some shopping so instead of wasting valuable beach time I told them we could go on our way home today.  For two hours I sat on an outside bench while my wife and kids went shopping at the outlet mall.  I didn’t mind one bit. I sat there a did what I like the most which is people watch.  Believe me, there were a lot of people to watch.

We arrived home to find two very angry cats.  They didn’t appreciate us leaving them to fend for themselves.  We always leave plenty of food and water for them while we’re gone.  We also allow my sister in law to come and check on them at least once a day but they always manage to get mad and leave “gifts.”  The female quickly got over it but the male still hasn’t come to terms with us being home just yet.  Come morning he’ll be ok.

Vacations are never long enough.  Even though we had two full days at the beach I could’ve used another week at the least.  Everyone had a great time and we had great weather.  The waves were a bit rough but that didn’t keep us out of the ocean.  I was able to get to the front row this morning.  I had to get up early to do so but I was there when they set out the beach chairs.

Kids are wanting to do some shopping before we actually set the gears in motion toward home.  It’s a five hour trip so I’m in no real big hurry to get home.  The girls will have to go into work Saturday morning and my wife and I will be moving our son out of one apartment and into another so Saturday will be a busy day for everyone.  Sunday will be my rest day before having to start my work week on Monday.  To be honest, I am not ready to go back into that Hell hole.
