This was an odd weekend. The plan had been for my parents to come into town around noon on Saturday to pick up Ajax, they had offered to take him overnight so that Dave and I could have a nice date night and celebrate our anniversary. However, I got sick again and Dave ended up hurting his ankle. We had to make him a Doctor’s appointment for Saturday morning, so my parents came in a littler earlier to get Ajax so that I could accompany Dave to the Doctors (side note- Dave’s doctor looks like a mad scientist… no joke). The Doctor ended up taking x-rays and giving Dave a shot of Demerol for the pain. Now, I’ve never had Demerol and neither has Dave, but by the time we got home (around 12:30), Dave was pretty loopy and just made it into bed before passing out for 4 hours.
While he was sleeping, I wasn’t quite sure what to do with myself… no nino, the house was clean…. so of course I watched TV and then went to the mall. Now its been a while since I’ve been to the mall on a Saturday evening, but apparently that is still the primary hang out of moody punky teens. Awesome. I had planned on getting some new work clothes and shoes, but when a sales lady critically viewed my attire (ie. my jeans), I had a sudden, dizzy realization: I was wearing mom jeans. Friends, family- Where have you been? Why has no one alerted me to the fact that I’ve been wearing mom jeans! I’m not even 30! Needless to say, I purchased two new pairs of non-mom jeans.
When I got home, Dave was just getting up, still pretty groggy and in pain, so we ended up ordering in and watching a movie from On Demand and we were both in bed by 9:30 pm. We are so wild.
On Sunday morning, we met my parents, Ajax, my grandpa Valentine, and aunt Liz and cousin Mike for breakfast. My mom said that Ajax did wonderful overnight, he ate well, played, and slept great. Apparently they had stopped to visit with friends and Ajax kept trying to catch the cats, which kept eluding him. We are very happy to have him home and I realize that it may have been a little too soon to have him spend the night away from home (for me, not him).
