Not long after dawn, looks like a rainy day. I can hear the birds. Last night the weather channel said today featured a “100%” chance of rain. I had never seen that prediction before. Apparently they were quite confident on their prediction.

What the hell did I do yesterday? In the morning I went to Target for a backpack (for M’s mothers day present) and a new water bottle. I went with the 20 buck Thermos “rock” model. It goes for thirty bucks online but Target had it on sale for 20 bucks.

Doesn’t my new water bottle look like a torpedo? It’s huge but 1) it won’t give me cancer, I hope, like plastic water bottles and 2) it’s cool.

Later I just sort of hung around the house until M and her M left for the day. The boys played on the computer, and outside for a bit, while I cleaned, ate lunch, and watched both “The Office” and “30 Rock.” M and her mom arrived home earlier than expected, about 2PM, so I took the Stars of the Lid poster to the framing place. They had me sign a piece of paper so they cut down the litho about an eighth of an inch. I didn’t mind. I wish the litho didn’t have a small tear, but I don’t think the defect will show once the framing is finished. As stupid as it sounds I felt as if I accomplished something after I left the framing place. When I returned home I took a bath with Outlander (again) and gathered up my energy for a dinner out with M.

We settled on a decent Italian place after M picked out a mothers day present for her mom. I sort of watched the end of the Brewers game (fucking Gagne…I had so much faith in you) over her head and struggled through the fatigue. After dinner (pretty good panini, didn’t finish it all) we returned home. Maybe we should have hit Starbucks or something, but I was exhausted. I read a bit more from Outlander, considered getting drunk, but fell asleep. I managed to asleep until 5:10AM. Rock and roll. More later.
