Yesterday went from 5am until 3:30am. Almost a full 24 hours. Luckily I had a short hour nap in there somewhere. Made two more hotel reservations, one for June and one for July. Both personal believe it or not. The day started off with me going to the store around 6 and getting a couple of things, very similar to how today will be. Got back, did some work and then at 10am, I ordered two tickets to the June 28th signing of Fight Club 2 in Seattle. Chuck will be there to sign the hardbound edition of the book. I sent my boss a message saying I need that day off as I will be picking B up at the airport from her trip to MI then heading straight to Seattle. It's a four hour drive and the signing starts at 4. He got so excited he told me to take the next day off too and spend the night in Seattle. Okay. Won't tell me twice. Now we have a nice little something to look forward to when B comes back from her trip.

Did some more work, specifically around my London trip in two weeks. Coordination, planning, etc. Got all that done by around 1 and napped. In there I heard from my friends who live near us. They wanted us to come over for dinner. Sorry, we have plans. Yep. Real plans. For those plans we were going to leave around 4:30 but around 3:30 a crisis appeared.

Ants.

Fucking ants. The hot weather is driving them inside and B's bathroom was covered in them. We had to deal with that before we left. Cost us a good spot in the line we needed to get into. Line? For what you ask? THE DRIVE-IN! Yes, we found a real drive in still in operation AND showing current movies. Not some bullshit showing of Grease or something. A true working drive-in. We were going to see a double feature - The Jungle Book and Civil War.

I read online that it packs up pretty quick on nice nights and with big movies. I was shocked at much it packed up so early. We were like 30th in line when we got there around 5:15. The doors didn't open until 6:30 and the movie didn't start until 9. Talk about a lot of sitting. We had ordered a pizza prior to leaving to bring with us which was a smart thing to do. We had dinner in the car while we sat and waited.

I will admit I was not enjoying myself pre-movie. I now know the answer to "Where do all the white trash and their fat ass annoying offspring hang out on the weekends?". The drive-in. I was so annoyed and bothered by the noise and the people that it was tough. B brought her tablet and read which drove me even crazier. Any time I tried talking she was annoyed because I was interrupting her reading. Fair but I was bored, hot, and frustrated. Luckily both of the movies were excellent and turned my annoyance down.

Jungle Book started at 9ish and we were both pleasantly pleased at how well they did. It's really a good movie if you're looking for something fun to watch. A faithful interpretation of the book. Then intermission came for about 20 minutes and Civil War started around 11:30. It was good but not stellar. Some holes in the story that were frustrating. But it moved the story arc forward and it was an enjoyable 146 minutes. Everything finished after 2 and by the time we got home it was nearly 3. Of course the stupid ants were back and we had to spend another 30 minutes dealing with them before even thinking about sleep.

Wait, didn't I go to bed at 3:30 and isn't only 7? Yeah. I was up at 6:30 which is sleeping in for me normally. So 3 hours of sleep it is. This shall be a fun day. First stop, store for ant shit.
