Long day?

Dunno why this one has seemed to go on for so long. Not in a bad way, mind; it just feels like it ought to be evening by now. I think it’s what happens when you combine a whole lot of things into one day, for better or for worse.

Dad came with me to the gym this morning. I did a short/fast treadmill run, and then some weights; Dad is a former Marine, and he was all about directing me, making me do more reps with better range of motion. My shoulders may hurt quite a lot tomorrow morning! But I’ll carry the lessons with me for next time, too.

Then we came home, got Mom and the boys, and did lunch, after which Dad took Sam to see Wall-E. Gabe, for some reason, was terrified at the thought of seeing any movie, so Mom and I brought him home and put him down for his nap. We looked over some pictures and whatnot, and then I caught up on some family club work and Mom did some of their laundry.

Went to pick up Dad and Sam, grabbed some hamburger buns on the way home, and then Sam and Gabe played with a friend while I did some yard work and Dad fixed the window in the back of our garage. Boring, perhaps, but it needed to be done, and it’s good to have family around to help you out with these things! Now we’re grilling dinner (burgers and corn on the cob), which we’ll pair with salad and watermelon. It is a sunny, lovely, warm evening, and…life just rocks right now.
