Feeling blah, Let's talk about Sunday

     Hi.  Monday night, thinking about bed shortly, and Sunday.  Want to hear about it?  Yeah thought so.

     Typical Sunday, food shopping.  It was a pleasant day, not as hot as Saturday.  I set out for my Sunday haunt the cigar lounge.  Already wondering how the change in ownership would change my Sundays.  

     Now I'm not sure if I've mentioned this, but the owners of the shop have really let the place go.  Depleted stock, just a general sense of not caring.  The guy on Sunday was enthused and kept me informed on what was going on.  There were 2 guys looking to buy it.  1 a regular I knew, the other not at all.

     In fact the guy has come in the past few Sundays.  Never so much as said boo to me, but seemed enthused about the prospect of what could be done with the place.  I'm terrible about first impressions, so as a rule I disregard them completely.

     2 weeks ago, the Sunday guy said the deal was all but done.  He was to be the manager.  He's an easy going retired dude, real easy to talk to and such.  The 1 week ago, from this last Sunday, all that the owner was waiting on was for the insurance to clear.  And then he told me about the changes.

     Tim, the dude I first met there, a solidly good soul.  Well they pretty much screwed him and he quit.  It's not a bad thing, may be just the kick in the ass he needs.  The Sunday dude would be now running the store on weekdays from open until 5.  Which pretty much means I'll not see him unless I'm off from work.  I'll miss him too.

     Sunday arrives, I'm the first of the guys to arrive, the new owner is there.  Not the best personality.  I congratulated him, bought my cigars and sat.  We basically didn't speak.  My friend came in.  Dude who actually found the place, it's somewhere buried in entries past.  Continued, it's Tuesday.

     As he walked back, owner in the front, he says to me.
"Mr. personality he isn't."

     Was pleasant, few more people came in.  My friend left and I was soon after him.  It will be an interesting transition.  I was off to my house to see what new fresh Hell awaited.

     Sister had taken half a pain pill so she was loopy, managed to clean out the sink.  We had a conversation about dinner.  At some point brother in law came in, awake after afternoon siesta and the beer.  

     There was an animated discussion about dinner.  Sister didn't want what we had.  Brother in law was getting pissy as he often gets, especially when drunk.  After much animation, I could see moods deteriorating before me, I went out for burgers.  The mood had sunk worse when I returned.

     Brother in law barely spoke.  He served sister her burger in their bedroom.  Just as I was finishing mine I was summoned.  Still chewing I waited.  She wanted a soda and something else I forget.  I stood there still chewing and she wanted to know why I didn't just run and get the stuff.  I mentioned that she could've just asked the brother in law and the response was,
"I won't ever ask him to get me anything again."

     Still chewing she told me I could have already returned with her wants.  I said when I'm done chewing.  I also mentioned if she gave me any more attitude she would get squat.

     Made up my mind and grabbed 2 cigars for the night out.  Went down by the water to listen to music.  They do music on a lawn across the way and it carries over.  So I get music, a nice smoke, and wonderful music.  I also wasn't going home before 9.  She'd make an example and get me to get a lot of little shit and I wasn't having it.

     About 8 I was done, disposed of my butts in a trash can in the next parking lot.  Lot's of people and families, fishing and just enjoying a Sunday night.  I tend to be a polite smoker.   And the rocks are a nice place, with not to many people.

     A new ice cream shop had opened.  Good stuff.  I got a small salted caramel, it was delicious.  I then decided to get gas for the car, I was a little below the 1/4 mark.  I made it home by 9:30.

     They were pretty much sleeping and that is how my weekend ended.  Hope you enjoyed the tale.
