Ah yes. A three-day weekend. It’s the kind of thing you cherish if you’re a Monday – Friday kind of worker, which fortunately, I am.
Not too much going on this weekend, but I am sad that it’s pretty much gone now. Had a small, yet nice, birthday BBQ for Kaulana, and we still managed to fit in movie night. Went to see a friend’s band play at J.J. Dolan’s — they sounded great and hey, the pizza was pretty darned good, too! And wrap the weekend up with Shakedown rehearsal. Oh, hey, even got to mow the lawn.
I remember before my father passed away, I used to try and stay as far away from home on the weekends. I guess that’s because I knew that I would have to do stuff around the house if I just stayed home. The freedom to do what I want when I wanted wasn’t there. As one would expect, it’s very different now. Of course, if I had the choice, I’d much rather have my dad still be here and alive. I really miss him. I’m happy that our relationship really improved before he died, but I’m sad that it took that long. Anyhow, that’s another story for another blog.
I’m kind of a homebody now, though I love to see and hang out with my friends. I guess that’s why I’m kind of spoiled when it comes to movie night. Everyone comes here. I feel bad that Kenny has to drive all the way from Pearl City every weekend.
But yeah. This long weekend was too short, as they always are. That’s alright, because there’s always another one coming up.
