260 Miles

Yesterday was the 4th of July. Looking back, this day has evolved so much year to year when it comes to how it plays out in my life.
I remember living on Hollywood Dr and all the kids would have fireworks that they bought in Indiana. For the weeks surrounding the 4th there were constantly fireworks being set off in every direction. The sound of that still brings back so many memories of living on Hollywood. Through those years we would always go see fireworks as a family on the night of the 4th. From there it transitioned into going to see fireworks with friends, and then over the past few years not going at all. For whatever reason I just have no desire to go out and be surrounded with a bunch of strangers to watch hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of fireworks being shot into the sky and explode. I kind of wish that I still wanted to, you know, relive the experiences I had as a kid But this year came and went with nothing changing. Dusk arrived and I retreated indoors to escape the heat.
I woke up around 10:30 yesterday and worked out. I was out of eggs so after my shower, I ate a yogurt and a couple oreos Stuart had just bought. I sat on my bed and played the piano for a bit. I wrote out a little idea I had and sent it to Luke. We are going to try and write it out a bit on Saturday.
After this I hopped in the car, purchased some fuel and started my drive up to Delaware to hang out with the family at Uncle Dan’s. It was real low key. I caught up a bit with Uncle Dan and then we ate around 5. After dinner everyone sat around and talked, I passed out in a chair and when I woke up, Kirtis and I drove home. We had a great drive home. We talked most of the way home and even missed the 675 exit we were having such a good time.
I hung around the house for a few and then headed back down to my place. Put 260 miles on the civic and called it a day.
Stuart was finishing up dinner (my leftover chicken from the night before) and Jenna came over and the 3 of us watched the movie Cyrus. I was so tired I was fighting to stay awake at the end. I gladly went to bed after the movie and coma slept until morning.
