I got a call from my mom the other day. She was working on a scrapbook of me from when I was in grade school and said she had been working up the courage to call me and apologize for what she said after I got back from Jeff’s funeral. I was a little taken aback, but she was heartfelt and sincere and it did me a world of good. We talked for a bit about how she wants to have Easter at her place this year and how I should encourage my sister to go along with that. It was a good conversation and I felt much better after we talked.
I’ve been busy around the homestead. Started a compost pile behind my garage and bought a manual lawn mower. People have told me it’s a lot of work, but I didn’t think it was a big deal. It doesn’t do a great job on the grass, but that may have been me still learning the nuances.
I got my living room re-arranged and I’ve got a lot more seating there now. Got the Wii set up and updated – thinking about a new game this weekend.
Speaking of games, I played an amazing game called Journey. The character is a wanderer in a desert, trying to reach a mountain in the distance. I finished it last night and realized it was a beautiful and rich allegory for life. Just amazing. I teared up at the end and can’t wait to play again.
Still more work to do around the house this weekend – I find myself enjoying staying busy.
Oh, and in other news, I wore my kilt today. It got up to 84 degrees in the office yesterday and I thought that I should make the most of casual Friday today. Until I see an official dress code, I’m just going to roll with it.
Besides, I have nice legs.
