I think the blah just came from things building up - not one big thing, but just little things. I've known for a couple of days that the trip might not happen.
Anvilhead - if we weren't living together (meaning AW and me, not you and me! :-) ) I think there wouldn't be so much 'blah'.
And camping is not for me, but I appreciate the suggestion. Wife doesn't like it when DS and I go off and do something by ourselves - everything has to bee done all-together, which annoys me. Very few instances of me and DS doing something, unless she's working late or something. Even then I get a bunch of pouting faces because she missed out on something. King-baby syndrome I guess.
