2 day pass

the past couple days have been spent wishing the days away.
and these aren't the kind of perfect late summer days that are easy to dismiss.
that almost makes me feel more aggravated than my persistent skin condition.
luckily, t. bone and miss bit were happily busy with friends, cousins, football and swimming.
maybe a little golf too.
a little golf too after a 5 hour scrimmage.
now that's dedication.
i motivated to meet jess at the lake for a brisk walk around the shore on saturday afternoon.
the sunshine and the slurry of activity was energizing.
my brother joined us later that evening for our favorite pizza and a perfect night on the patio.
sunday i slept through the one event i've been really looking forward to all month: mass at irishfest.
sunday was not a good day.
well, until it was.
that was when coach and i headed down to the fest despite the stormy skies.
seriously i was physically unable to watch another episode of chopped or househunters.
we stayed dry under a tent listening to 3 lovely crooners.
it was really amazing how everyone wore happy smiles despite the rain and it was contagious.
we toasted mcgurk, spotted a double rainbow, drank a few beers and made some new friends.
a few hours there kinda reminded me to say salainte to life.
