For the first time in quite a while both kids were being watched/entertained outside of the house for a few hours, so we were able to order ourselves some Mexican inspired meals, chips with queso, and sit down together to watch Happy Gillmore 2. Which surprisingly enough was not half bad. A nearly 30 year gap between sequels rarely bodes well, but this was acceptable. Made me laugh. We recognized both of his daughters, and his wife from amongst the cast. No problems there. They were fine. It was funny enough, even charming in places. My wife liked all the sports cameos, and Eminem & Bad Bunny too.
I was more impressed that we had three or four hours together to just be alone, eat in peace, and watch a movie nearly all the way through. I say nearly because we waited almost an hour to get our food, so we started the movie later than we’d hoped, and had to pause it to pick up one of our children from her play date. The other stayed behind for a few hours more. Perks of being the older child I suppose.
Today is Sunday. It rained a good amount all last night, and the ground is still wet now, but it didn’t do much for breaking the heat, nor the humidity. While it cooled off with the rain present, I don’t think it ever got down below 21°C, so the interior of the house stayed 25.5°C all evening long. Boo! I need it to come down to 15-16°C so that the house drops to twenty or below. That’s when the amazing sleeping conditions hit! Snoozefest city when we can get the interior that low without the AC, or Humidex making everything feel oddly damp. Yuck.
Plus at five am the dog climbed out of bed, walked around to my side, then jumped back up to sit directly on my head. Not cool. I thought he needed to go out to use the toilet. That’s his “I have an emergency” tactic to wake me up before he messes all over my bedroom floor — again. Puppies, am I right? But no. He just wanted upstairs to sleep on my wife’s bed with our youngest. Must have heard a bathroom trip and figured he was good to start his day early. I was not impressed.
Then I tried to go back to sleep but thought of a fun new story for my old sci-fi universe. Played it out from start to finish in my head. But I don’t feel like writing it out because it was going to get long in the tooth. Might just keep it shelved as notes on a card for a later write up & release. Hard to say. Take it easy today, it is Sunday after all. Ciao Bella!
