Sunsets

Earlier this week Hubs and I went down to the newish Chambers Bay Golf Course (1 year old) to check out the sunset. What we were surprised (and delighted) to find was that has a paved walkway perfect for wheelchairs, dog walkers, skateboarders, and the like. We went Tuesday with the idea of checking the place out, which we did, and saw a fabulous sunset in the process. We decided to come back on Wednesday, stopping to pick up a Subway sandwich on the way. It was another spectacular sunset, and I am sorry I didn't think to being our cheapie camera to get pictures for you. I'll see if I can go find some elsewhere. I left and returned without. Yes I could have fudged with a different sunset, but what's the fun in that - though as you can see I did find a picture of where we were and where we strolled.

Anyway, our evening started out on a bad note - Hubs was running late again. It made me mad that, though we were in time for sundown, we didn't have time for a stroll in the sun, and the warmth of the day, which to me is part of the enjoyment of watching the sun go down. Also, I hate to be kept waiting, especially for no good reason, and making me wait is probably Hubs' perfected bad habit. We've been an hour or more late to every family gathering since we've been together, often eating Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners by ourselves at the table because everyone had long finished. But that is just the history to explain why I get so pissed at him.

So of course when we were on our walk, I was in a lousy mood. It just irks me that he can't admit that what he does is wrong, and apologize to me. No, he turns it back on me saying Why can't I just let it go? I should be happy that he's pushing me on the walk! That sounds harsh, if you ask me, mixing my dependence on him into the 'discussion'. So I end up shutting my mouth and suppressing my feelings.

In the end, though, the sunset was so vivid, I had to let it wash over me. It was the last great sunset of the summer as it turns out, with Fall just days away. There were also a scattering of clouds that looked like upside down Hershey kisses! Turns out they were raining, but the rain didn't get to the ground or water. It was an example of the pending change in the weather, an end to our 80 degree days. It was hard not to stare at that red orb in the sky which looked like it could be a moon of Jupiter, but I made myself look away lest it burn holes in my retinas. I guessed I had been burned enough for one day!

Good Night, TTYL and Be Well
