Random Tuesday Post

< Rob and Butch chatting in the Jeep around Austin

Here it is Tuesday but it still feels like Monday to me. I was out sick yesterday and I dont think even that made the weekend feel any longer. Friday afternoon Rob picked up his friend Butch at the airport and they pretty much played guitar all weekend. It was nice to see Rob play so much because he hasn't hardly in the time I've known him! Hopefully now that the guitars and amps and cords are strewn about the living room he'll be more apt to pick it up instead of letting them collect dust. His friend Butch (George) was really nice. Probably one of Rob's most normal friends. We took him around town because he's contemplating moving here. Right now he lives in Monterrey, CA and doesnt like it very much. I think Rob would be glad if he moved here. I know it made him sad when Kevin moved so far last year.

Yesterday we brought Butch back to the airport and Rob went to work last night. It was the second or third time they counted Rob as a whole person even though he's still in training. 3 weeks on the job and they've already got him as a regular. It's good in some ways but a little scary for me in others. I know he'll be fine because they're really good about taking care of their guys. He's asleep right now and goodness knows he needs it. I could tell Friday was hard on him, and now going back to the night schedule will be hard too for at least a day or two more.
I still havent figured out what to do about Halloween this year. Rob is supposed to be off so we might do something that night but who knows. This year has really gone by fast, even this month! Halloween is just a couple weeks away! I really am excited for Thanksgiving though, I like that it at least feels like Fall in Maine here during that time. I saw some apple cider at the grocery store this weekend. I dont really like it but I know Rob does. I'll wait a little longer for it to really feel like fall before I buy some.

Last week we decorated the office with fake spider webs and spiders. It looks really good. Decorating for the holidays makes me wish we had a place of our own that we could really decorate and have fun with. We never did much decorating at home when I was growing up. A christmas tree was about the extent of it. I just think it looks so fun to have lights and ghosts and skeletons and other stuff around the house. Maybe some day...
Well here go the phones, better get going!
