Rant #3,368: That's Life

I had a pretty quiet weekemd, as we did our normal stuff and one thing we don't do too often--

Which is to eat out.

We decided to eat out to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary,.

We went to a great Italian restaurant near where we used to live, so rather than being five minutes away like it used to be, it is now maybe 10 minutes away, so we didn't have to go far to find a good restaurant to celebrate the occasion.

The place was packed even though it wasn't yet 5 p.m., and it was as noisy as it could be.

The food was excellent, but the next time we go, we will eat there during the week, when it is less busy--

And less noisy.

Again, we don't eat out much, as it is just so expensive.

Prices have even risen to ridiculous levels for fast food, so eating out isn't something we do too often.

Ironically, we are probably going to eat out next week for Father's Day, but then we probably won't do so for a couple of weeks, until we feel like doing so for a special occasion or holiday.

Otherwise, it was a pretty quiet weekend, but the week is going to be a busy one for me.

As you are reading this, I am having my car inspected, and the car will also get an oil change.

When they find things that need fixing--you just know they will--heaven knows what today is going to cost me.

I also have one of those interminable meetings to cover for work, and the fun begins tomorrow, so my week might be a bit tangled st best.

I will let you know how that all comes out.

So this weekend was a true calm before the storm, but that's life, there really is nothing you can do about it.

I am just happy that at this point, I can just get it all done and shrug it off, moving on to something else.

A few months ago, I had my doubts that I would ever reach that point again, but here I am--

I do believe that I am up to the challenge.

I will definitely speak to you tomorrow, but let's see how this meeting goes and whether I will be here again this week or not.

Hopefully, I might only miss a day at my usual perch, but we shall see what we shall see.
