It puts the sunscreen on its skin

Today was a good one.  I went to Holly and Jason's house, and we lounged by the pool.  Holly made pitchers of fruity drinks, and Jason was manning the grill.  He has a pretty good method.  He stands over the grill until it's too hot to bear, then he jumps into the pool to cool off.  I showed up empty handed and hungry, and nobody seemed too upset.  

While I was there, Jeff called.  We talked politics for a bit, then we shifted to a conversation about what needs to happen when I go and visit him in a few weeks.  Apparently, we are hiking.  I was planning on packing only flip-flops for footwear, but it seems I may need something more substantial.  He does something he calls waterfall hunting.  I'm game.  

Kris was in the pool today, too, and she came along with her boyfriend Alejandro.  I was the only one there without a sweetheart present, but it was totally fine.  I just forget sometimes how draining it is to be in the sunshine for extended time periods.  I am totally beat, in spite of the SPF 100 waterproof sunscreen that I can still feel on my skin.  I just want to go to bed super-early tonight.  

There were drinks, of course, but I felt it was the best plan to add a bit of extra juice to mine.  I wanted to leave at a reasonable hour and drive safely.  Done and done- I was parked in my own garage before 9pm, and all I want to do is scrub off the sunscreen, then crawl under the sheets.  

It was a good afternoon and evening, all in all, and the pool was a nice place to spend all that time.  Tomorrow, I am headed over to hang out with Mom.  It's Sunday, after all, and that is my family day.  Since Dad and Danny are both out of town, that makes my Sunday family day a Mom-and-me arrangement.  Should be good, though.  I was over there yesterday after I deposited Cas at the airport, and we had some pizza delivered.  I talked to her today, and she said she enjoyed two cold slices for breakfast.  When she is left to her own devices, I think she eats like a college student.  

That's it for today, though.  Enough with the floating about and sipping on Mai Tais.  I'm beat.
