Kevin and I did almost nothing to celebrate the 4th of July this year, and it was glorious.
Usually we'll take any excuse to grill some burgers and have friends over. But the grill is already packed away, and we're not buying any more charcoal until after the move. We can't host anything right now as we may have to clean and vacate the house with very little notice. Plus, this has been the first weekend in a while when we could just sprawl on couches and catch up on TV.
We did go out Friday night. Kevin got free tickets to Kinky Boots at The Kennedy Center. It was fun, though hard to hear the actors. Especially when they were singing. I'm not sure if it was a sound mixing problem or what, but it distracted some from the show. Lola was amazing, as he should be. He stole every single scene he was in. The rest was more or less forgettable. But it was fun to go out.
We went out a couple of more times, mostly to get food. We're trying to work our way through the pantry right now and now buy too much stuff that will be difficult to move. It's maybe a little premature for that, since we aren't moving until the 22nd. Last week I had bought food to cook and then we were forced to go out because someone wanted to see the house, though. So it seemed prudent.
We also went to see Finding Dory, which I thought was fine. It's not my favorite Pixar movie, but it was fun.
Other than that, I read three books and we watched half a season of Elementary. I also caught up on sleep. The more relaxed I got, the easier it was to sleep in. By Monday morning I actually achieved a solid 8 hours. I got to start the week rejuvenated instead of slightly less exhausted.
We don't have that many more lazy weekends in our future, so I was happy to take full advantage of this one. Before we know it, the kid's gonna be here, demanding every waking minute and most of my sleeping ones, too.
