wasted days

Today’s been a “wasted” day.  It was wonderful.  I needed it.  I realize, now, what a mess I’ve been a bulk of my life, just because I never took time for myself.  It’s amazing how the burden lightens and I’m able to breathe again.

Andy and AJ are on their way home.  It was great having them here for a few days.  I put them to work day 1 helping me paint the nursery   I’m such a terrible friend.  The highlight of the weekend was hanging out with Andy.  We went themed Saturday with Indian food and Dostana.  It was really nice.  I’m looking forward to their visit in Spring.  So much will have changed between now and then.

I’ve finally committed to Flickr’s 365 group.

It’s 2pm.  One more hour before I can cut the power and replace the switches and plugs in the nursery.  Depending on how long it takes me, I may start working on the rest of the house.  I’ve been meaning to replace these things for a couple years now…

 

sleep = good

What a weekend!  Friday night Mars & I had a date night which was dinner, sofa movies, and champagne.  It was lovely.  Saturday Mark’s cousin got married.  It was a lovely event, Mark – well, let’s just say he’s a bit delicate this morning.  Today tons of family time, including meeting yet another cousin who’s visiting from Ireland.  I’ll need to expand on the details later.

It was a lovely weekend.  I’m running on about 8 hours of sleep and doing quite well considering.   At the moment I have 2nd (ok, really like 10th) wind and could easily crack on on cleaning the grout in between the kitchen tiles.
