Busy weekend

I hit the farmer's market and Central Market Saturday morning. Got all kinds of healthy veggies and such. We met Pat and Carol at Phoenicia for lunch on Saturday. It was mondo yummy. Got more groceries there. Been working on and off all weekend. Vlad got a new laptop from eBay and has been playing with it for a few days.

Today we went to Galveston for lunch and to look at the ocean, say hi to the pelicans and get a gander at the cruise ships before they took off this evening on their weekly voyages. Carnival's Conquest and Royal Caribbean's Voyager were in port. Both are beasts. Crazy big ships. The weather was great but it was too windy to enjoy the beach. We went back through LaMarque and stopped at the sad little outlet mall there. There's a fantastic kitchen store in there. They have stuff I've seen at Central Market for a third of the price.

We came back home. Vlad grilled up some free Central Market salmon and I made a salad from hydroponic tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella with fresh purple basil and Italian parsley. It was pretty tasty. Vlad was watching the Rockets struggle with Denver a bit ago.

We were trying to talk about the future today. Where to go on vacation next year. Stuff like that. We found we had to stop. It's like it's too far behind the wall we've both put up. The wall that keeps out the bad thoughts and the crying. This situation is so incredibly complicated emotionally. But all things told, we're doing very well.
