• My back is slowly getting better every day as long as I take it slowly.  Matt and I sort of clashed yesterday.  I still haven't completely figured out my iPhone and he got a message I had sent his dad.  So he sent back a nasty message to me and then the ex got involved and jumped all over Matt.  I guess Andie's contractions yesterday were Braxton Hicks.  I know what she is going through because I went through the same thing with Sam-every twinge and (at this point) you hope like hell this is it so let's roll to the hospital.  Then you get pissed because it wasn't it.

  So I get up this morning-actually slept in until 6:30am.  Didn't require 4 Motrin to get out of bed-a good day in my book for me.  So I decided to go to the movie and see "Brave".  Using the Life Support Device, I got my movie time before even putting one foot on the floor-life was just getting better and better!  Gently relocated two cats so I could get out of bed and came down the hall for a cup of tea......to find Matt sleeping in his old room which still has a twin bed in it. A before-tea HUH?? followed.

  My goal became to get out before he woke up.  And he woke up immediately.  In our typical way, we made no reference to yesterday's skirmish.  He said he spent the night here because Mandie got into a huge fight.  I'm okay with that.  But then.....

  (there always seems to be a "but then" with my first born)...she drove over here and they continued the fight in the front yard-it was after midnight at this point.  I kept my mouth shut.  We stayed on neutral subjects.  He spent time with Buk and left.

  I went to the movie and it was soooo good!  I really enjoyed it. I came home to see if Sam wanted to get lunch.  We started talking about the Mandie incident last night.  We both feel the same.  That's the last time they bring the fighting back to my house.  Sam said if he hears it and I don't, he will go kick them out and off the property.  Their fighting is why we wanted them out so bad.  If necessary, we will get the locks changed. I'm putting my foot down about this and Sam has my back.

  At the movie theater I saw the advertisement for the showing of the Batman trilogy Thursday night.  Starts at 6pm.  Ends with a 12am showing of the new one.  Sam can't go because of drummer auditions for the band.  I did text Matt to see if he'd like to go, but haven't heard back.  I'm going to the box office tomorrow when it opens to get my ticket.  Its one of those things I have no problem doing by myself.  There is going to be a ton of people down there for the event in addition to all the people going for just the midnight showing.  Sam is bummed he can't go.  I'm thrilled to be going-getting to see all 3 back-to-back in a theater with like-minded people?  Couldn't make it to Comic Con this year, but I can definitely do this.  Plus, its added motivation for me to continue to take it easy with my back.

  I'm doing 1 load of laundry-t shirts, nothing heavy.  I'm going to do some light stuff around the house.  I did use my heat packs and parked myself in my bedroom chair for an hour after I got home.  Its so wonderful to not be in constant pain!  I told my stair step machine that we were going to have some gradual serious bonding starting next weekend.  Second episode of "Big Brother" is tonight---oh no!  I'll miss Thursday's episode!  But I can do that for Chris Nolan who is directing the trilogy.  I read an interview with him today where he said that, out of respect for the amazing job that Heath Ledger did playing the Joker, there is absolutely no reference to him in the last movie.  I liked that.

  Just had a thought-I wonder if people will dress up Thursday night in costume like they used to for the Star Wars movies?  This is going to be so darned much fun!!
