Weekend

Home alone Sunday evening once again. Husband is at work. We went to Galveston earlier today because he wanted to go surfing, so I went with him to avoid being stuck at home and feeling sorry for myself. I figured I needed to do some reading too. So, there I sat in the scorching sun all for my husband. I hope it wasn't too much for baby -- the heat and the bright sun, but I drank a steady supply of water. There were actually waves to be ridden. I suspect because of Hurricane Dennis, but not really sure. Robert had fun and I got out of the house. I felt a bit like a beached whale in my t-shirt and shorts, but who cares? I got in the water a few times too to cool off.

Speaking of Dennis, I just saw on the news how badly it hit Florida. I feel for the folks whose houses were completely flooded and/or destroyed. I think most of people were ordered to evacuate though, so I hope not too many people were hurt.

We went to our Infant CPR class yesterday and I'm glad we did it. We both felt good about re-learning that stuff. I had already forgotten how to do it since the last time I took the class. Hopefully we'll never have to use it, but glad we took it. I got to eat my gyros sandwich from Niko Niko's too, so I was happy. This Wednesday I have another doctor's appointment.

Whiskers finally stopped peeing on the carpet. Only because we bought another litter box and put it in the living room. This totally sucks because not only Whiskers is using it. Trouble and Buxy are also using it, so it really stinks in the living room. I feel defeated. At least Robert is the one who has to clean it. At least for now. The areas where Whiskers peed before are still stinking, and now they look a little discolored. I feel really bad because this is my friend's house and I don't want to tell him about it. He had cats living with him before who also peed on his carpets, so I know he's dealt with it before, but I didn't want to mess his carpets up even more.

Anyway, other than Galveston and Infant CPR we didn't do much this weekend. We rented Kinsey, Without a Paddle, and In Good Company and watched all of them. This is how boring we are. Kinsey was interesting, but not all that great. Without a Paddle was just silly, but enjoyable. In Good Company was really good, I thought. And it had a great soundtrack. Lots of Shins and Iron and Wine.

Not looking forward to work this week. At least I didn't get called in this weekend. Well, knock on wood, the weekend's not over yet.
