Worst 4th of July ever

OK, so the 4th sucked ass this year. Not because anything bad happened, but because nothing at all happened.

First, it was rainy and miserable all day. My allergies were killing me. My eyes were nearly swollen shut and they burned and itched all day.

We were planning to have a cookout, but with my father just coming home from the hospital, we decided that it would be in poor taste. Since he's staying with me, I was just going to barbecue for just me and him. Unfortunately with a bleeding ulcer, red meat, spices, and tomato products are kind of out of the question.

I didn't feel like firing up the grill in the rain for just myself, so I bagged that idea.

The rain got worse later on in the evening. I can't believe Phoenixville was going to try to do a fireworks show in a thunderstorm, but you could hear off in the distance, someone was setting them off. Couldn't even see them from my deck, and if you could, they fizzed out on the way up in the rain.

At least I got the day off from work. Suck-ass holiday. :)
