My mom's eyelid surgery last week went well. It didn't even take long at all, only about 45 minutes. The bruising and stuff set in fairly quickly, so she was looking kinda scary there lol. Just a few days out from surgery, a lot of the bruising has already gone away.
My childhood home officially sold on Friday. Through Facebook stalking, I was able to find the new owners - a young couple and their baby. Luckily, the woman's page isn't private and she actually made a "we're officially homeowners" post with a pic of them in front of the house. It's so weird that someone else owns it now...my mom owned it from 1984 to 2021. We truly thought she'd never be able to move and get out of that house. I guess the saying "if it's meant to happen, it'll happen" is kind of true. Her buying her new house and selling her old house all worked out great, timing-wise. Everything just fell into place.
Nick and I had an okay weekend. We went and sat outside at a brewery and had drinks and tacos. It wasn't the best experience because we ended up not getting along. Nick was being his usual ultra negative self and I just couldn't stand it. It was a nice sunny day, we were sitting outside, having drinks, tacos, and listening to live music. What's the problem? Well, Nick thought the singer wasn't the greatest and complained about him. Then he noticed that the couple next to us appeared to be "bikers," in that they were wearing leather jackets with patches that said "biker lives matter" and stuff. They weren't doing anything or bothering anyone, but Nick was going on about "their mentality" and how he "knows what they're like." Umm, he didn't know those people at all! He also noticed some people were not wearing masks to go into the brewery, so that got him started wishing to live around more "like-minded people". I wish more people continued to wear masks too, but I don't wish to move away because of it. No matter where you go, there will be people who do what they want! Then, twice I ordered a rose wine, but the bar never sent it over. Nick complained about that and stated that our waitress, who was super nice and had nothing to do with the bartender not making the drink, would not be getting a 20% tip.
He was just being very negative, annoying, and judgemental. And he wonders why I think he's insane when he claims to be a "people person". He's not a people person! Everywhere we go, *literally everywhere*, he has a complaint about someone. I've literally taken pictures of him at breweries before as he sat with a furrowed brow, glowering at people. I even turned one into a meme that says PEOPLE PERSON lol. He just looks mean and unapproachable in the pic. What's weird is that once he talks to people, he gets along with everyone. I think he just pre-judges very harshly.
Anyways, so that sort of ruined the mood. I just often find myself not having fun with him at all and thinking about how if I were out at these places with anyone else, I would be having a lot more fun. He's just a drag a lot of the time!
This week, we both are taking Friday off to go visit family for a 3 day weekend for Mother's Day. On Friday, we're actually going out to Nick's grandparents' lakehouse to spend the night, which we haven't done in over a year due to the pandemic. Nick's whole family is fully vaccinated, as am I. Nick has had his 1st shot and goes back for the 2nd in a couple of weeks. I guess his grandparents feel more comfortable having us over now. They're both going to be 76 this year.
I have definitely missed our visits to the lakehouse. His grandparents are great hosts. We get there and are immediately offered wine or beer and they usually have some type of snack out while his grandmother cooks some amazing home-cooked meal. Yeah, it's just a great time of drinks, good food, and good company. We used to consistently go there every other weekend for years, but the pandemic put a stop to it. I doubt we will go back to visiting every other weekend as we now have a cat. Even though our kitty is 9 months old and old enough to stay home alone for the weekend (we have already left him home alone for one weekend before), I just hate leaving him. It breaks my heart!!! So, we usually load him up and take him with us. It's definitely a whole to do and not something I want to do often.
Things have slowed down drastically at work as I've wrapped up most things for the school year. I'll have to find things to do for the last 7.5 weeks...
