Just thoughts.

Spring is here and I just don't feel it. I've been in a mental funk for the last few weeks. I need to pin this down. Is it the weather? Is it the fact that I work way too much with almost zero vacation? Is the fact that I just dont have the time to work out like I want to? I just don't know any more. I think that I have to make a little me time. Time with out the wife and kids. I guess thats why I don't mind working away from home. In a weird way I guess it reminds me of being a bachalor. 

Sunday was nice. It was Easter and the house was still. My kids were at my mom's house and my wife was out. I woke up near 10 am with the 2 dogs in my bed. They were content to just sleep in with me. I got up and made my self some coffee (the drink of the gods) and warmed up some left over pizza. Not a bad breakfast , but one that was easy to make. Ater an afternoon of lazy TV I went to my parents house to have ham and other dishes.

It was nice watching the kids getting the eggs together and get in to the baskets. I don't remember ever getting a basket as a kid. I do remember Easter being a lot warmer, but Easter can change from year to year. I do know that it is the first Sunday after a full moon after somthing. Sorry I just don't know the full formula for the Easter magic. My mom loaded me with plenty of leftovers to take home.

I had to tear out part of a wall at home to find a leak. Arrrrg I found it and fixed the leak. Luckly I did not have to soder copper , but I think I'll teach that to my self over the summer.  My dad made a small door to cover the hole in the wall. That way I will have access to the plumbing of I need to get to it again. The home is a never ending work of find something to fix and fix it. Most of the time I enjoy getting dirty doing something manly. Like changing spark plugs, oil change or coolant. I like to clean and mow the yard. Some days I just don't want to do anything. I don;t want to clean the gutters or seal this or that. Somedays I don't want to be around anything. 

I hope your Easter went well. I hope you enjoy the Spring and did take at least 5 minutes and remember what the date stands for. ..Pax Americana
