It isn’t often that my wife goes out of town to visit a recently disabled friend from work, but when she does it’s usually right after a night out, and on the same day she has to spend another night at the sleep apnea testing facility. You can lie low all year and then BAM! Everything comes together over a span of just a few days. From what I heard Oppenheimer was good, but had a fair deal of Florence Pugh’s tits in it. Not a mark against in my book, but this is from my wife’s perspective. Robert Downey Jr plays an excellent bastard too. Coming out from under his Ironman shadow – good to hear. The visuals were neat, and that was about as much as I got out of it because my wife was really stuck on just how much you get to see Florence Pugh’s tits, and for seemingly so long at a time. Really made an impact with her. IMAX tits for all! Apparently.
Dinner at the Upper Canada mall was at some swanky pizza place, if such a thing exists. I don’t much care for arugula on my pizza, so no harm done there. I ordered from Domino’s for us playing the home game anyway. Had a tingle of nostalgia while doing so. Been a fair few years since I’ve run a pizza place. I always liked the crusts at Domino’s. Though I do develop heart burn from the modestly spiced tomato sauce, or the corn meal they dust the dough in. Fun times.
So I have the kids to myself today from 8:00am till 4:00pm, then 7:30pm to 6:00am. Going to be a long, long, long day here at the ranch. I’m not keen on yet another Zoo trip. Nor another zip to a local mall. But it might depend on weather. If it’s going to be a scorcher then an indoor destination will be my preferred target to eat up some of these hours. Youngest won’t sit for a movie, so theater is out. Both kids won’t, nay can’t, ride the same caliber of rides at Wonderland, so that’s out too. Watching the two of them myself at the pool is exhausting. Bike rides are out, too hot & youngest is not up to snuff on her big kid bike to go any farther than our own street. Street hockey’s no good, as in the mornings our driveway is too exposed to the sun. Trying not to melt or get burnt today.
Air Riderz or skilled theme parks are out because I can’t guarantee that the youngest will actually try new extreme events, or stand close by if we do (which I won’t do, because she’ll wander away while I’m 20 plus feet in the air, so no go). So that’s out. I wonder if I can find an indoor glow in the dark mini putt, or something low impact for my six year old to also enjoy. I’d love to try rock climbing or laser tag, but it’s hard to say if all three of us will give it the ole college try on the same task at the same time.
So what to do, what to do. First – eat breakfast. Second – gather the troops. Third – toss around ideas for something to do this morning, or possibly a little longer than that. I have no idea where we will wind up today. Could be awesome, could be lame. Just never know.
