A general dislike
I went to the Milwaukee Zoo with my wife, her brother, his 2 kids, his new wife and her niece on Saturday. The 7 of us piled into their Yukon. I generally disagree with SUV’s, but when you have 7 people, I can concede the point. It was roomy and comfortable.
I spent the morning walking around, and being Uncle Patrick. At some point, swinging the kids, and lifting them, something pulled in my upper right inner thigh. It’s probably a groin pull. Now every time I shift my right light, it feels like someone is punching me in my testicles. I aggravated it yesterday mowing the lawn (hopefully the last time this summer, since the gas can is empty, and I don’t want to have a full one sitting all winter to gel up).
I also determined that I don’t really like the zoo. It smells like kept animal. The animals also don’t look at all pleased to be locked up. Again, it’s a general dislike, not a firebombing sort of hatred. Next time I’m asked to go, I’ll pass.
I made some chili yesterday too. And by some, I mean 2 gallons of it. When I make chili, I always seem to go a little overboard. DW divided it all up into containers last night, and now my fridge looks like a Tupperware graveyard. I guess I know what I’ll be having for lunch for the next 3 weeks. I love chili, but my propensity for making too much is the reason I only make it every 6 months or so.
I should really look into a good way of freezing it or canning it or something.
