This weekend was enjoyable. But first:
Our AC konked out on Wednesday. That was not enjoyable. The company that our American Home Shield (our home warantee servicers) hired to fix it really sucks. Billy was home sick on Thursday when the technician came. I had to take Friday off for the regional manager to come. We're waiting for the tech to call back to schedule a time to ACTUALLY come fix the AC, which means one of us will have to take off from work AGAIN. We've been very lucky that Wednesday was the only hot day. Our living room is like a cave so it stays cool but our bedroom is facing the afternoon sun, so it gets pretty stuffy up there.
Friday I got some knitting done. I'm back in a knitting kick. Saturday we went down to Fredericksburg. Radley Chevrolet was having a car show and Bee wanted to support some of his old coworkers. After that we went to Loriella park for Mackenzie's 5th birthday. I was happy to see Crystal and her family. It blows my mind that we've been friens since we were her daughter's age.
Jesse was home this weekend so we had FAMILY DATE NIGHT. We went to Otani's for dinner because I'm still trying to use all my gift cards. Stuffed my face silly but it was delicious. Then we went to Muvico to see The Avengers. OHMIGOD IT WAS SO GOOD. I love Joss Whedon, and I love comic books. We got there pretty early so we spent some time in the bar playing pool. Yay, family date night!
Billy and I ran a couple errands down there this morning then delt with traffic getting home. We've been trying to get all of our chores done for the week. I made salmon for dinner and it was delicious. Apparently Salmon Sunday is our thing now. At least it accomplishes my goal of fish at least once a week. I really want to try a halibut dish, but it is $23.99/lb!! Hopefully it will go down some now that it is starting to come into season.
I've decided to stop slacking and get back on the horse with my fitness goals. My lungs have cleared up a lot and I think I can breathe enough to work out. And I need to get back into good eating habits. We've eaten A LOT of fast food since I first got sick. And then we were just trying to eat things we have in the house. But now it's back to fruits and veggies and no sodas or nachos.
I've got a 3-day work week, then I've taken vacation until next Wednesday because my mama is coming to visit! I can handle 3 days.
