I could probably spend the rest of the
year writing about what has occurred during the past three weeks of
my life. But I don't want to do that to you. I will, however, do my
bet to recap it here today, without, hopefully, finding the need to
add on a part two. If my memory serves me correctly, I last wrote
you on the 11th of June, so that is where we shall begin
today. As if I know where to begin. I really feel like this is my
only day off since then. Granted, I have not gone to my place of
employment everyday since then, but, none the less, I have been
occupied everyday since then. I am glad to have this day off to
recuperate. Although, I do have this, and one other thing to do
today, before I “hang out” with my guitar player. At least I got
to sleep in, and am doing my own things, on my own time, which makes
all the difference in the world. Today could not have gotten here
soon enough. It all started when my Mom and Sister came down for my
Cousin's graduation on the 12th of June. I did not go
because I was working, and am not talking to his Mother, so, luckily,
that does not really play into the plot. Except for, however, the
fact that it was the reason my Mom and Sister were in town. They
wanted to take us out to dinner on the 13th, Friday the
13th! It was delicious and uneventful. The dinner was in
part to celebrate Susan getting a new job, and also in part to
celebrate my parent's 45th Wedding Anniversary. Although,
it was odd that my Father was not there. He was at an East Coast
wedding.
My Dad has always been fairly close
with his older Brother, and now they share the Anniversary date of
June 14th. How cute! The 14th will also be
shared with our friend, who got married on that date this year as
well. It kind of sucked because she had us all facing West, into the
setting Sun, for an hour, by the time the ceremony ended. I was
unhappy. I don't like her that much anyway. I just closed my eyes
and listened. The reception was in the San Diego Museum of Art.
That was cool! We got to check out the entire Museum, I have to go
back. It was well worth the trip. It also reminded me of how little
we actually do. The Museum is only 20 minutes away, and I have never
been! I felt like I was on a different planet. That's sad. The
15th was Father's Day. It was, once again, a bit odd that
my Father was not there. Celebrating Father's Day, and I'm the only
“Father” at the table?! It felt strange. We got to go to one of
my favorite places. It wasn't crowded. It was delicious. We had a
nice time, although at first we thought they weren't open. We were
patient, and our patience paid off, yeah me! After doing some
grocery shopping, we went over to my Mom's house for dinner. We had
a good time. The next three days were work days. Susan started her
new job down near the beach though, and since we share a vehicle, it
meant I was Trolley bound. I don't really mind taking the Trolley.
I figured out the schedule. I pick it up a block from home, and it
drops me off two blocks from work. Not bad!
The Trolley is a little more expensive
then I would expect, but it is still pretty convenient. My only
gripe is that without my vehicle, I have no solitude for lunch. I
always bring my lunch, and to eat it in the break room, doesn't feel
like much of a break. Especially since it also means that I have to
find something to do for half an hour, whereas, usually, meditating
in my car does me just fine. Our whole lives have changed since I
last wrote you. I'm really just starting to get the grasp of that
right now. I mean, I have known that, but sitting here delineating
it, is really driving the point home. As I'm sure you are starting
to become aware, there really is no way I'll be done with the rest of
my story by the end of this paragraph. I'm going to have to continue
anon. In it's own way, this actually seems like quite an
appropriate place to break. It literally took this entire time to
get from one Wednesday to the next. And I thought I'd give each week
it's own paragraph, silly me. Even funnier, is that I thought I was
really trimming the fat. I thought I was blazing through events, and
still didn't even get close to all I wanted to say. Unfortunately it
seems that I'll have to break this into pieces. I do, however,
promise that I will not let it consume the rest of the year. But, as
you can tell, there have been significant changes in our lives
occurring, and I have to be able to touch on them all. I hope each
week doesn't take up an entire session, or else I'll never get caught
up. Just know that we are all well, and happy.
