today was my first real day out of the apartment since my surgery. travis had taken me to blockbuster a few nights ago, but it was a brief ride down the street, and a less than 5 minute visit in the store before we found ourselves back at home.
i wasn't feeling well on friday, and travis had to work friday evening, so while sierra was celebrating her 15th birthday with family and friends, we found ourselves unable to make the trip to muskogee. i did my first load of laundry (it was also my first thing to do other than lie on the couch) since the surgery and waited for travis to get home from work. he took care of me and checked on me while i wasn't feeling well, and then we cuddled up to do some more "taking it easy." we watched the pirates of silicon valley and while i found it a little dry in places, it was really, really interesting to watch the story of apple and microsoft unfold. we followed it with a much needed fix of grey's anatomy.
saturday morning travis had to go into work again. he was gone for most of the day; i was hoping it would only be a few hours. i played around with the logo for his computer business and worked on a couple of other designs ... and spent most of my time being bored. i can't do too much as the incisions still pull and hurt if i do, but i am definitely feeling much better than the initial few days, and find myself going a little stircrazy after some time.
once he returned home, we did a few things around the apartment and then resumed our grey's anatomy marathon.
this morning, travis had to work yet again. this time it was only for a few hours. he left for work, only to return a few minutes later to ask me to go with him. he said we would leave for muskogee right after. i got ready and we headed for his clients'. i waited in the car while he installed a server, then we headed for muskogee ... or so we thought. i think we missed about 5 entrances to the b.a. expressway. it was really quite comical as travis is the master of direction & highways. we couldn't stop laughing with each passed exit.
we spent the afternoon returning a very overdue movie, looking around hancock fabrics at the beautiful pieces of furniture and home accents that they had on sale. we then drove to see the house that justin just purchased. it is in a very nice neighborhood and is a much newer house than the one he originally considered. the lawn is very large, and i have to say i'm very excited for him.
after that, we drove to see each of our families. sierra had just taken down her decorations from the party and i was sad to have missed it. they all said that it was very beautiful. she loves the color pink (or any other bright color) and had used a lot of pink as well as white candles everywhere. i wish that i could have seen it. mom, dad, and justin had just been to the biker rally in fayetteville yesterday, and dad proudly showed off an autographed print that he had purchased from an artist who has a studio right on the strip of the main event.
he soon left to wash the camero, so mom, sierra and i chatted while travis read. mom started laughing and said she loves when i stop by to visit. we didn't stay long, but it was nice to catch up with everyone.
we headed to the lears. eric and amber were there. it was our first time to see them since their falling out. eric was chatty, but amber said nothing. steve was headed to bed, but before going he told travis that he supposed he would have to dream me up a ring since travis seems to cheap to buy me one. :) i didn't get to spend much time with dee -- actually, i fell asleep on the couch. we didn't stay too long before heading home. the trip home was a lot of fun as travis sang john mellencamp and did his best james dean. actually the trip to and from muskogee was a lot of fun. we spent a lot of time talking, laughing, and just being silly.
we weren't home very long, before we headed out again, this time to the movie theater where we saw eagle eye. it was one of the first movies we had seen in a while -- pretty sad for two movie theater junkies. i really liked the show.
now we're home, and i'm not so excited about my first day back to work. it will be nice to get out of the apartment, but i've been a little depressed the past couple of days about returning. i better get to bed if i expect to wake up on time in the morning.
oh! one more thing before i go. one of the suggested labels is "fall." it reminds me: i was just telling travis tonight how eagerly i'm anticipating fall. it's such a comfortable, cozy time of year ... i can't wait.
