turpsHad a busy day today. Swimming in the morning, then off to the in-laws so James could drop off the FiL's card, nanna's after that, dropped Pauline off home and had a coffee with her there. Then off to the cinema to watch Gods of Egypt, and as we hadn't had any dinner, eat too many nachos.
The film was okay, nothing earth shattering but not terrible, a very middle level film really. At least I think so, James would tell you his verdict but he fell asleep and missed most of it. We got to talk to one of our favourite cinema ladies, too. I don't think I said but one of the last times we were there she told us she was in charge of the old promotion stuff and for a donation could give things away. Which is how we ended up coming home with two huge -- and I mean huge, X Men promo posters. Not the kind that go to advertise what's on outside, the ones that hang in the foyer and are 6 foot plus tall. A Mad Max one the same size, and a promo poster for the new Star Trek movie. Corey's claimed the Mad Max one, but the others will be going up in the spare bedroom.
We had planned on staying to see Alice in Wonderland, but James had already slept through one film, it seemed a bit pointless for him to sleep through two. So home we came, and now I'm just waiting to go see nanna to bed in about an hour.
It's another limb centre appointment tomorrow so straight to bed when we get home, and I'll make sure that have something to read because James is getting casts made so it'll be a long boring morning as very understandably, they don't let anyone tag along to the treatment room so all the amputees can be comfortable while waiting.
After that it's off to get Corey and the last of his stuff as he needs to give up his flat completely this week.
Next Wednesday we're going with Pauline and her family to stay overnight at a hotel. She's been before and really likes it and it's always good to spend time with them as a group. The hotel has a pool and she was saying she may take her costume and have a swim and we could too. Which yeah, we could and I do love swimming. But it's weird how difficult it feels thinking about wearing a costume in front of people I know. Not that they'll say anything, just, I'm getting used to 'my' pool I guess, a place where I've come to feel very comfortable now.
But, that's to decide next week. I just can't believe we'll be sleeping over again. It's been years since I've slept away from home and now it'll be three times in the space of so many weeks.
It's father's day today. I miss dad. That's all I've got to say about that.

It's one thing to let yourself be vulnerable in the way a swimming costume can make you at a place were you're feeling comfortable and at home, and something completely different to do it somewhere you've never been before. That said, I hope you'll have a fun sleepover and that if you decide to brave the pool you'll have a lovely swim!
*hugs you*

Date: 2016-06-21 05:58 pm (UTC)LOL at James falling asleep at the movies 'cause I've done the same while bingewatching stuff on Netflix. Especially if I've had a particularly hard day. The appeal of Gods of Egypt for me is in the negative level, but I'm glad you liked the movie OK. :)
I've watched a bunch of weird and creepy movies lately: The Invitation, High Rise, Midnight Special, and The Ones Below. Not much is catching my eye film-wise (though I did wanted to see Love & Friendship but it aired for about a week before it was taken out of the rotation in my local movie theater. #grumpyface).
Whatever decision you make is the right one, OK? Everyone has different levels of comfort and there's no reason why you have to endure feeling weirded out just to fit in. If you do decide to wear your costume, then I'm more than sure that you'll rock it. ;)
I hear ya about father's day. It was a tough one for me too. *hugs*
