Eclipse

It's a tradition that when the kids go back to school Sean takes those first two days off of work. We plan to sit around and watch tv, play PS4 and relax after a long summer. It's fun and we look forward to it each year. What we fail to realize each year is how extremely exhausted we are at the end of each summer. When school starts it's a stressful time, so many things to do and sign up for. Those two days of vacation for us turn into a "lay on the couch and try to regain energy" time. We had fun, we watched Rogue One. We'd been meaning to watch it for months now but couldn't commit to watching in the evening because it's over 2 hours long and we're old and need to be in bed by 10:30 just to function the next day.

He also happened to be home for the eclipse viewing Monday which was nice. We didn't get around to buying eclipse glasses so he dug out his welding masks which had a shade of 13 and 14 which worked for viewing the solar eclipse. We call it redneck style.
