Better late than never....zooommmmmmm

Today (Sunday) was an interesting day so I wanted to be sure to blog the highlights so that I am able to keep the memory of this day, come what may. The past few months, my daddy has been working on his antique car, trying to get it restored and road-worthy. Today it finally was. I rode with him to the gas station to fill it up. He wanted $20 worth and when I got to 19.99 he said that was good enough. I said I can do it and he seemed skeptical so I said you wanna bet and I made it to exactly $20 with my press of the nozzle. :) Then we drove back home and we all went for a family drive. We have not all gone for a ride in that car as a family in 20 years...no joke, I was 6. There's even rubber from the tires in the road. That car is awesome...she purred like a kitten. I miss The Blue Whale and wish I could have afforded to keep her.
Then I went to see my A brother's last tennis match of the season. While I was there, my C brother called to say he was thinking about coming by to see dad. I said that was a good idea and then called to let dad know to be sure he would be at the house then. Oh, also this morning I went to W*M with my mom to buy random stuff and we were talking about how we have a bad feeling about this surgery that we haven't had about other major surgeries....and I am sure you can figure out what that bad feeling is. It's just unusual for us b/c we are usually realistic but more optimistic. Of course, it doesn't add to the comfort that my dad is going to pick out his casket tomorrow. It's just a really scary time for me and I don't have the energy for much else. Which is particularly sad this week b/c my "sister's" bday is Tuesday and I wanted to get a present to her while she was home this weekend. And my Bf's birthday is this coming weekend and I usually make such a big deal about that and get hard to find or $$$ gifts for him. It's just kind of hard to be "me" right now. Anyway, back to today....we had an impromptu family cookout tonight b/c I suggested we grill outside for dinner. It was neat to have all 5 of us together b/c that is so rare...we don't see alot of brother C...but there we all were, gathered around the table eating together. I commented on how it was like the old days, only we were just all older now. :)
I also went to the craft store to get what I needed for daddy's father day gifts. I won't be in town for that so I wanted to celebrate it early. I made him breakfast last week for it. Tonight I went by my Bf's to get part of the gift (he was at the beach) and had a long, heart-to-heart talk with his mom . I usually have one of those in July but I needed it now. And my Bf's grandmother is coming to sit with us on Wednesday which does actually make me feel better. We have a special bond and it will be comforting to be that she is there for me and my family. Okay those are the main highlights...I gotta sleep now b/c I'm tired and have an exhausting week ahead of me.
