We're going down to watch the fireworks tonight but not all the way to the mall, neither of us feel like dealing with the crowds. I love that we're close enough that it's NBD to go down for a bit.
It rained this morning but it stopped, hopefully that's it for today. The weather has been so gross, just lots of rain and humidity on and off.
We are having a family party at my parents' house, should be low-key and fun. We haven't gone to fireworks in years. I always want to, but our dog gets so anxious that I feel bad leaving him.
H decided he's going to take out the ugly hedges today finally. I'm very excited about this! He plans to replace the bushes with some much slower-growing rocks .
We are going out to the in-laws tonight. Cook out and fireworks with extended family. For now taking it easy, watching Dexter, and getting caught up on laundry.
I just finished Week 1 of C25K and I'm trying to decide if August 15 is too soon to sign up for a race. I've been able to make it through each day, but I've only been jogging at a 3.5 mph pace so far. Will I be ready by then?
Every year my MIL goes all out for the fourth- usually at least two different pies, etc. This year, we were informed at 1:30 that nope, no pies, no nothing. We were supposed to be doing burgers tonight, nope, that's not happening either. Would have been nice to know YESTERDAY so we could have picked something up for dinner tonight.
So the new plan is KFC for dinner. I thought about stopping for apples to make myself my own apple crisp, but then decided I didn't want to share it with them. So new plan is to make an apple crisp when we move into the new house so I can enjoy all of it to myself. This is a win-win as I won't have to share it and I'll just be getting off of my period that weekend so my appetite will be back. Plus it can be my reward when I finish unpacking entire rooms.
Moo is flipping out already about the fireworks. There's been three or four random ones go off since about 10 this morning, but it's enough that he's not happy.
We went to a parade earlier that my mom was in for her work. I used to do this one too when I worked in the area. E did well minus screaming when a fire truck honked but we think he might have just been hot and tired and wasn't scared by it. I'm laying down at the moment because me and heat seriously don't mix. As soon as we got back to the car my head was throbbing and I felt sick I'm feeling better now after some rest and ibuprofen!
I still have a headache though so we'll see how I feel in a couple hours about going to fireworks. I want to but I also just want to rest!
