| FBR Helping Wingman with Leaves |
Some Mondays are tougher than others.
Yesterday certainly qualified as one of the worst. On one hand it felt good to
get back to being productive (well, as productive as I usually am) at work. On other
hand the past week and a half of pell-mell travel caught up with me. It didn’t
help that I returned home to find barely minimal progress had been made on the renovation
project. I was all set to have a confrontation with Deckzilla Dude when I found
it he’d actually been hospitalized for a couple days last week, so understandable
if frustrating.

I feel so much better this morning so
apparently, at my advanced age, it takes two solid nights of sleep to counteract
my aggressive travel tendencies, good to know. I’m sharing some more photos
from the past magical weekend because I do not want to let it go. There is a
couple that my daughter sent us shortly after our departure. The FBR was crying
about our leaving despite the fact she initially refused to even say goodbye
(threenager denial tactics). She finally told her mother that she was okay because
she would be seeing us in one week for Thanksgiving and hearts started melting
all over again.

Wingman’s mom also sent the accompanying
pictures from the diner on Sunday. It’s interesting because in one you can see
the BRS keeping a watchful eye on me. For some reason I’ve assumed very suspect
status in her world. She would bestow one of her megawatt smiles on anyone but
as soon as she saw me the smile disappeared and she carefully maintained eye
contact with an accompanying deadpan, very suspicious look on her face. My wife
takes a lot of pleasure in my BRS demotion because of the exalted status I hold
in the FBR’s world.
