Hey Baby it's the third of july

(forgot to hit submit last night!!!)

Today's title is an homage to Robert Ear Keen's song Fourth of July, but ... it isn't yet. Still, it gets in my head every time this part of the year rolls around. 

This morning I woke up at 7, and was surprised to have gone the whole way through the night without waking up. Toffee didn't follow me downstairs expecting breakfast, so I went back up and got back in bed. 7am on an observed holiday, no. I'm not up for the day. 

Next thing I knew it was well after 10, I figured eh... I'll just rest my eyes for another couple minutes and get up. And then it was 11:30. 

Must have needed it, I guess. 

I came downstairs and Doug was listening to John Philip Sousa songs on Spotify. "Best time of year to listen to Sousa," he says to me. I've always liked Sousa, reminds me of high school marching band. He said a lot of people dislike Sousa because of how the military has used/co-opted his songs for their purposes. I never really thought of it that way, and I can't hold it against him when the Liberty Bell is Monty Python's theme song. To me, that would be the redeeming connection. Screw the military, long live the "IT'S" man at the beginning of each episode as the song starts. 

I checked the helpdesk, looked at the tickets, groaned. I'm not working today. I did get a direct email from a client who said other clients are unable to find and pull his content into their version of the application, but I think they just don't know how to do it. 

One of the big things I need to do is write up instructions on how to do this. It is the exact same process as the old application but I'm surprised to see how many people just do not know how to do the process. Maybe I'll do that at some point this weekend. Lord knows I'm not going outside. 

We had a lazy day. Doug went out to weed a little bit and came back inside after 20 minutes and took a big nap. I hit the treadmill. 

We had discussed going up to the park for the fireworks, but realized... hey. Maybe we can just see them from our yard. Turns out you can. Our entire street was full of families having parties and cook outs, and local fireworks for about an hour before the big show. 

The view was great. No camera photos, because my phone camera sucks. But we enjoyed it greatly. I guess tomorrow night there are fireworks downtown at the baseball field. Maybe we'll go to town if our fave foodrinkery is open? 

Who knows. Maybe we'll just chillax here for another day.
