slow week

Nothing notable happened last week. Though I did fail to mention previously that I’ve dusted off my tutoring hat and am tutoring a student in math right now. We had our 2nd session last week and things seem to be going well.

Friday night we watched Step Brothers. Brian and I watched it before, but Jake wanted to see it. My original assessment of the film still stands. At least this time, I was able to be productive while watching, as I worked on my scarf (which should be wrapping up today).

Jake had his last rifle league session yesterday (well, he has his rifle league party next week, but yesterday was the last day of shooting). We had to pick him up afterwards, so my mom invited us to dinner. I had lunch there, too. Surely that’s the most meals I’ve eaten there in one day in over 20 years.

In between eating meals, Brian and I painted the hallway. I was hoping to have the house painted by the end of the month (since gardening season is coming up), but thanks to procrastinating, that’s not going to happen. I guess there’s always next month. Given the way the weather has been, I guess it doesn’t really matter.

dinner

Last night, Judy came over for dinner. With the exception of a fracas between Lizzy and Alice, it was a great evening. Not only did we get to eat, drink and talk, but she also stuck around to watch The Walking Dead (and what an episode that was!). Plus, Judy brought a bottle of limoncello that she purchased on a trip to Italy. (How do we rate?) I was still feeling the effects of that this morning, but I’m not complaining.

the cure

I’m happy to report that Buster is doing pretty well on Prozac. Maybe not quite as good as when he was on Clomicalm, but good enough. And, I doubt they will stop manufacturing Prozac any time soon, so we should be good to go, though who really knows?

movies

flight

This movie told the story of a plane that encountered mechanical difficulties and was then crash landed by the pilot (played by Denzel Washington), saving most of the passengers on board. The twist was, in the subsequent investigation, it was found that the pilot was intoxicated while flying (the intoxication issue was not the cause of the crash, though). I won’t tell you how it ends, but I will say the crash scene was pretty spectacular (and made me want to not fly ever again). However, the rest of the movie was so-so.

My rating: 3/5

limpin’ lizards

A update on the dogs…Alice and Buster are doing well enough–Alice’s lip looks good and I think Buster’s prozac is finally starting to kick in. However, Lizzy has been limping more often as of late (she’s been limping off and on for a couple of weeks). If this keeps up, she’s going to need to make a trip to the vet’s office, too.
