Monday, Schmonday, I hate Mondays!

These weekends of mine have to stop going by so fast. How is it Monday already? Sigh.

It was a pretty good weekend, though, for all that it went quickly. J and I got to hang out a bit on Saturday, which is always a good thing. He worked on painting his room upstairs to get it done. We had water pump problems again, but they fixed themselves (temporarily) again, so we weren't without water all weekend. And that afternoon we went to see Live Free or Die Hard, which I really enjoyed a lot. I give Bruce Willis credit, given that he must be in his 50s by now - he still rocked the action movie stuff. There were a LOT of special effects, some of which really made me work hard to suspend disbelief, but over all it was a great "escaping reality for a couple of hours" kind of movie, which is just what it needed to be. I recommend it.

We stopped at the grocery store on the way back home to get some milk and eggs, and J got a couple of dishes of mashed potatoes from their deli/hot foods section. (This is important for later.) Then we went home and watched It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World on DVD, which was really funny, but really long! I wasn't in bed until almost Midnight! Oh, the horror. :) Yes, I am an old person who is usually in bed by 10:00 on weeknights, and not much later on weekends. Hee.

Anyway, so we went to bed at about Midnight, and at just after 3:00 in the morning, I heard J getting sick. He seems to have gotten food poisoning from the mashed potatoes (which had turkey gravy with chunks of turkey). He didn't have a fun night. And then he was pretty much laid up all day on Sunday recovering, so it was a quiet Sunday.

But! My water pump repair guy (who I guess I should just call a plumber, ha!) came out on Sunday morning and took apart my water pump, and removed some rust that was floating around causing our water problems, so we should be good on that front now. I hope. It was good of him to come out on a Sunday like that.

J called me a little while ago, and we're going to meet for lunch, which is always fun, and was a nice surprise. I'm looking forward to that.

Also, the 4th is this Wednesday, which means of course a holiday for those of us in the U.S. I was looking forward to sharing my favorite holiday with J, but now he's going to have to work until 6:00 in the morning, and then he has to be back at 7:00 at night, so there goes that. He'll be sleeping in the middle of the day, so he'll miss it all - the parade, the cookout at my sister's and the fireworks. Sigh. I'm going to be missing him all that day, now.

Anyway. I'll still do the stuff with my sister, and he'll sleep, and we'll both survive. Stupid work, though.

And now, back to the Monday horribleness. Later!

p.s. For those of you who care, I posted chapter ten of my Sims 2 legacy story on Saturday! It's sitting there, waiting for you to read it! :)
