We had a very quiet Memorial Day. After staying up late watching a five-hour movie last night, we slept late this morning. Mother slept late, too, but said it was because she had trouble falling asleep last night. I know the feeling...tossing and turning while a continuous-loop tape of an inconsequential event of the day plays over and over in my mind. I think women have more problems than men either falling asleep, or not being able to fall asleep again after waking up suddenly in the wee hours of the morning.
Anyway, we all seemed to be zombies for the day and didn't accomplish much. All I managed was a treadmill session this morning, and ironing a few clothes, but otherwise I was a slug. We decided against the traditional Memorial Day hamburger/hot dog cookout in favor of chicken fried in Pam, mashed potatoes and white gravy, corn on the cob, and sauteed yellow and zucchini squash, and sliced tomatoes for supper.
Later, Hubbie and I went to see the new "Indiana Jones" movie. We meant to use complimentary tickets given us months ago when we went to see the 3-D movie "Beowulf" and we couldn't get into the theater, because the manager had changed the locks and failed to supply new keys to the staff before he went out of town. Staff eventually got into the theater, but we patrons were delayed quite a while getting in to see the movie.
The problem last night was that there wasn't a ticket taker in sight, and we couldn't find another staff person to give our tickets to. The line was long at the concession stand, with only one person on duty, so we just went on into the movie, thinking someone would be available when the movie ended. The lobby was silent as a morgue when we came out, though, so we are still in possession of the tickets. I guess we'll try to use them again when another movie comes along that we want to see.
