How was your Father's Day? (lemmy.one)

Mine was mostly pretty low-key, which is how I like it. I got some small gifts from my wife and daughter, including a 7oz hammer with a colorfully painted handle. I actually really liked that. For dinner my mother-in-law took us out to an expensive steakhouse, where I had a wonderful ribeye, but I don't think it was worth the price. I'm grateful and appreciative, but I think it was a little too much. I think that she and/or my father-in-law had a gift card, so it made sense for them. Besides all that, I somehow hardly had to put up with any complaints, even from my ever opinionated four-year-old.

I would have enjoyed the day a lot more if I didn't have to worry about work today.

It was alright I guess. Nothing really that special. We went to brunch at a restaurant I wanted to try. It was ok but overpriced. Our 15 year old has been letting her bad attitude get the best of her lately. She complained about where we went to eat and I ended up grounding her for acting up at the restaurant.

As my fathers day gift, I've been promised a date day with the wife and a tool shopping spree (on a budget) so I have that to look forward to.
