The Hermit's Log-continued

[gateslacker]

I don't think I recall ever going this long as a homebody. Seriously, it has been a few weeks and, still, I haven't wanted to leave my house unless I have to. Have I had a secret recluse deep down inside just yearning to get out (and stay home)? Mom says that it will all change once the pool opens. I hope she is right though I cannot deny that I have enjoyed this solitude somewhat. (Brandon left for Florida yesterday)

Some highlights of my day did include a nice walk as we are between rainstorms again. It has rained most of the week! Was I relocated to a rainforest and no one told me? Even so, the water was down today and the mud stench didn't make me retch.

I have had great fun discussing the season finale of Fringe here, finishing up The Last Enchantment, crying over a man's reunion with a gorilla, watching The Last Dragonlord (Again!), finishing up laundering the Himalaya of towels I found in Brandon's closet (three loads!), and reading fanfic since I can't get beyond the first step in that 12-step program.

I have to work tomorrow so I will have no choice but to leave my house.

D is off to NYC on Thursday. Gods, don't we feel old!

Well, I suppose we have no choice but to feel as old as our children think us..LOL.

I will relay a recent conversation between Brandon and me.

Brandon: (after going to a recent concert of a band called Bullet for my Valentine, of whom I've never heard) "Do you think we could go to a Linkin Park concert sometime?"

Me: "Well, you know I like Linkin Park and wouldn't mind seeing them in concert but I wonder if I am getting too old for that sort of thing" (See where I set myself up.)

Brandon: "Oh, there were alot of old people at Bullet for my Valentine"

Me: "Are you saying that I am old"

Brandon: "Well there were all kinds of people your age" (Note how he never did deny that he considered me old.)

ROTFL! Oh yeah, you walked right into that one. R is actually more keen to remind me of my age lately. Since my birthday she delights in walking by and whispering "Middle aged" Little twerp!
