This year, July 4th fell on a Wednesday. It was an odd day for many reasons. Namely, most workplaces acknowledged the holiday on Wednesday only. It was a nightmare leaving work on Tuesday with so much traffic. I normally take the Blue Line to commute home, which also takes you to O’Hare airport. The trains were packed of travelers heading out of town. I laid low the rest of the evening since it took so long to get home. I was invited by my friend who lives not far from me for a barbeque the following day. I haven’t caught up with her in a while and I wanted to see how she was doing. I couldn’t eat too much because my mom invited me and my brothers over for dinner. What a feast! I did my best to low carb it, but how can you not take advantage of classic July 4th barbeque?
My mom also gave me a be-lated birthday gift since I did not want to celebrate my birthday this year. I’m telling you, I was not in the mood for it this year. I have to say, it was sweet of her to do this. I need to stop being a grouch about this…
