#MicroblogMondays: Hey 19...

I was never a huge Steely Dan fan, but ane of their quondam songs ("Hey Nineteen") has been going through my caput today -- because it was 19 years agone that I delivered my sugariness still babe girl. :(   The lyrics aren't just appropriate to the occasion -- they're virtually an older human being trying to resist the charms of a much younger immature lady (!) -- but there's ane business that keeps echoing inwards my head:  "I'm just growing old...."  (The fact that I know who Steely Dan is would attest to that, I suppose -- nevermind that my immature lady could endure 19 years old...!)

We just got dorsum from visiting my parents terminal night, as well as I am nevertheless inwards that post-vacation fog. Plus Aunt Flo showed upward after a 69-day recess (progress??!) -- therefore I was already tired as well as crabby, nevermind having to bargain amongst today as well as its significance.

Then BIL picked us upward at the aerodrome terminal nighttime &, en route home, suggested to dh that nosotros (he, SIL, dh & I) should instruct see FIL today (it's a long weekend here, therefore he & SIL were off go today).  And instead of saying, "Sorry, nosotros already receive got other plans," dh said, "OK, we'll option you lot upward at xi -- but earlier nosotros instruct to Dad's, nosotros receive got to instruct to the cemetery."

(!!!)

Now, this has ever been a hateful solar daytime for just the 3 of us -- him, me & Katie -- as well as I was only non inwards the mood to portion the hateful solar daytime amongst others. I didn't experience similar I could laissez passer inwards & receive got a skillful outcry at the cemetery amongst other people around, if that's what I felt similar doing. And I didn't appreciate existence pose on a schedule, on a hateful solar daytime when I wanted to slumber inwards & receive got my fourth dimension (since I am non moving too fast -- give cheers you lot (not), Aunt Flo...!).

I kept my oral cavity close inwards the auto but made my feelings known later on when nosotros were alone. Dh offered to instruct see his dad amongst BIL past times themselves today, as well as and then receive got me to encounter Katie tomorrow. Ummmm, no. Today of all days, our immature lady comes first. Then us second. Our families identify a distant third. (Men, right??)

Pleading for forgiveness, he pointed out, "They ARE her aunt & uncle!"

And as well as then he said, "Isn't it dainty to know that person else has been to the cemetery to see her also us?"

Well, he had me there.

So no, it wasn't the hateful solar daytime I had planned or imagined. But nosotros did receive got fun catching upward amongst BIL & SIL, en route to the cemetery inwards the car. Afterwards, nosotros had a dainty luncheon at a cozy petty cafe nearby, as well as made just about preliminary plans for a petty tumble route trip for the iv of us. And nosotros made FIL rattling happy only past times showing up.

It turned out to endure an OK day, on its ain merits.

Kind of similar the residue of my life, hmmmm??

You tin flaming honor to a greater extent than of this week's #MicroblogMondays posts here.
