Monday Morning Coffee Vol. 13

Happy Monday!  I'm sure blogland will be quiet today as it's a 3 day weekend for most.  I'm not at work today either.  My weekend has pretty much just consisted of packing & moving some things out of my apartment & into storage though so I figured, why not just recap today anyway since that is essentially what today holds in store as well.  I hope everyone is having a good weekend & is being safe!

Friday

Despite just watching movies all week, the last full week of school wore me out.  I was too tired to even go to the chiropractor like I had planned.  Instead I went home, made some tea, & turned on That 70s Show until going to bed.

Saturday

Saturday on the other hand was a busy day!  I had to take Nash to the vet at 9 am to get him his kennel cough vaccine as well as a new 3 month supply of his flea/tick & heartworm medicines.  His 3 month supply of medicine & vaccine only cost me $100 & that is why I never want to have to find him a new vet & why it is worth the 45 minute drive once every 3 months.

After getting home from the vet I was able to very briefly get a couple things done at home before going to my own appointment.  As of right now I am officially off blood pressure meds!  It has been normal on it's own for a little over a week without meds, in fact my meds were dropping it too low & I was on the lowest dose possible.  When I went in I was textbook 120/80.  So no more meds for me!

I needed new sunglasses because somehow mine got bent to shit the other day & there is no way I can make a 1100 mile drive without sunglasses.  I also thought I'd try to find a cute top to go with a skirt that I recently bought.  I didn't find a top but I did find a dress to wear to a wedding this summer.

I took a nap & ate the last of the food out of my fridge so I could get all of my dishes done to pack up.  (They still aren't packed by the way.)  The dishes are basically all I have left though.  I just need to go get more boxes or a couple of totes.  I can't decide.

That night I met up with Raeann & we wandered around the Stockyards, got a drink at Filthy McNastys, & ate supper at Billy Bob's before watching Gary Allan.  We ended the night by laying in the grass, well she just sat in the grass, near the coliseum.

Almost 4 years ago exactly I drove up from Houston to spend a night in Dallas with Mr. Oklahoma & then meet the girl I was going to live with the next day in Fort Worth.  That night Mr. Oklahoma & I went to the Stockyards for dinner & I laid in that grass while he took a phone call that would forever change our lives & the path we were on.  I never saw him again after that night & spoke to him only twice after that.  A couple months later I officially moved up to Fort Worth.  Then a couple of years ago Raeann & I had our first big bonding moment where we sat in pretty much that same spot crying about boys & life.  It just seemed fitting & poetic to end out last night in the Stockyards in the same spot, minus the tears.  Especially since when I return to Texas I may or may not be living in the DFW area anymore.

Sunday

Sunday I finally got my butt in gear & got pretty much everything packed up (except some of the dishes lol.)  I took a break from packing to drive to Dallas to go to Haystack Burgers.  The softball girls had gotten me a gift card to there so I got a burger & a beer for lunch & then used the rest of it to get a couple of salads to go since I had cleaned out my fridge the day before.

When I was leaving Haystack I notice "Lunchbox Wax."  I've never gotten a wax, & I really don't know that I would.  What I do know though is that I would never get it from a place that referred to my bikini area as a lunchbox...

Once I ran out of boxes & totes I settled in with one of the salads I had bought, Nash, & That 70s Show.

Don't forget to take a moment today to remember just why we have a 3 day weekend.  Remember those who laid their lives on the line for our country.
