It has been a really nice visit even though it went by so fast. We all hung out and watched a lot of HGTV and the DIY network. Caught up on things that have been going on in life in general and plans we all have for the future. Oh and of course a lot of talk about baby.
Speaking of which the baby appointment went great yesterday and Cicely's mom was able to hear babies heartbeat for the first time. I love listening to it every time we go in for a visit.
Anyway, because of baby coming into our lives in only 10 weeks or so it means that Cicely's mom has another good reason to come and visit and stay with us again for a few days to a week or whatever she chooses.
I think Cicely's sister is still planning to come out from Florida and stay a few days as well. Perfect actually because it will get me, the hermit, use to people coming and going in the house and it will give Cicely and baby the much needed additional support and help she will probably be in need of in the beginning.
So we look forward to the first quarter of the year for that. I have always been one that likes to have "something" out in the distance to look forward too. It gives me hope on the rough or mundane days that I would otherwise go nutty.
Movie Night
The 3 of us decided to relax and have another movie night last night and rent and watch the flick Elysium. We were not too sure how it would be because we had not heard a lot about it but the preview look really good and sucked us in. Overall I think it was a pretty good movie and was worth the $4.99 that we paid for the 3 of us to watch it. Still about $21 or more less that the 3 of us trying to go to the theater and see a new movie.
Cicely and I still may go see the movie 47 Ronin at the theater later this week. We were give 2 movie tickets each as a "thank you" from our manager the first 1/2 of the year. So we have been waiting to use them for something that would be worthwhile. From what we have heard from friends it's a good movie and would be worth using our tickets on. Plus if it does suck, we still have 2 left!
Photo Session
After breakfast we spent a couple hours showing Cicely's mom our wedding photos and places that we traveled over the past year. Looking at other peoples vacation photos is usually pretty boring so we would spare those that come over from the dreaded "vacation photo time" but she wanted to and actually insisted so we shared them just as a good daughter and son-in-law would do.
Airport
Once done with photos it was getting close to the time we had to get ready so we could take Cicely's mom to the airport with enough time to get through the TSA crap and get her luggage checked in and all of that crap. Unfortunately she has a 4 hour layover in San Francisco as I mentioned. This means that she will be getting into Los Angeles just about midnight so finding a ride may be a pain. She is currently calling around to friends to see who will pick her up, and probably who will be sober enough to do so as well ha ha.
Yearly Photo
One thing to mention is that tomorrow will mark the 3rd year that I have been taking a photo of myself every single day. I have missed only a couple of photos over the past few years but have done really good for the most part. This year I have only missed 2 and get this, they have been in the past 2 weeks! Ah man did that piss me off to miss them at the very end of the year of all times.
Oh well, shxt happens and really even if I only took them once a week it would be OK. I have found that doing them everyday you don't really see that much change. This year because of new medications I have a feeling I will see the most change now that my weight is up about 10 pounds. Not really that much extra weight I know, and I still work-out like a crazy man but there is not much that I can do.
We watch what we eat and to have that extra weight just appear in the course of about 4 months really fucked with my head. It's all good, I will keep on doing what I do best and focus on what is in front of me and what I can fully control. There is not much else I can do - I am OK with that. So long as I have my health and my baby girl is healthy I will be a happy man in 2014!
With That
It has been a really nice visit and vacation so far. The weather has been great and company and time away from work has been very much needed and appreciated. We have been having a lot of fun, watching movies, getting stuff ready for baby and so on. Tomorrow will mark the start of a New Year and many things to come.
I will have to be ready for the New Year with my work hat on and prepared for my new venture as a daddy. I think it will be very exciting and I will learn a lot over the next 12 months. More on that starting tomorrow and into the New Year.
