I had my feet up and then I got restless. In the past hour and a half I've swept off the balcony, planted two pots full of pansies and made banana bread. My feet are back up, but I'll be getting up again in an hour or so to take the bread out of the oven and make dinner. I think it's the weather. After having sloth inducing wet and/or dreary weather for what felt like ages, it finally got up to right around 60, today. I've got windows and sliding doors open to take advantage. It's hard to sit still when it's so nice.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

DH mowed the lawn and I did some weeding, then we sat out on the porch for quite a while enjoying the day, letting the dog loll on the grass, observing some avian behavior. Pretty darn nice, but I forgot to have lunch 'til just now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
-t! I am so sorry I bailed yesterday. It was probably for the best though, since I took an unexpected nap yesterday at just the time you would have been calling.
Me, I LOVE hearing about Sarameg's house and The Zmayhem Easter morn and Liese's scary water and Kat's totally deserved toddler smackdown and all the news shared here.
I would totally subscribe to this magazine!
ME TOO. Especially if it included kid pics.
Sorry for the badness, Scrappy and Juliebird.

Perkins! I would have felt bad interrupting an unexpected nap and I had a very pleasant evening at home, as it turned out, so no worries on changing the plan. Someday I will lure you out to the Vacaville outlets...

I don't know. Me, shopping? Kind of a stretch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Vacaville isn't by any chance on the way from LA to Santa Barbara, is it? I've been to some outlets on that route...

No, it's on the way from San Francisco to Sacramento, though.

Hilariously, I forgot where Lee lives now.

I was wondering about that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Talked to family. Uncle is moving to hospice for a couple of days, until they adjust his morphine to the most comfortable level, then home with round-the-clock nurses and palliative care. He will be in his own beloved house with his four kids and four step-kids and their numerous progeny all around him. It is as good as such a thing could be, if you know what I mean.
ION, gardened all freaking day. I am tired and sweaty and dirty. Feels good. It also allowed me to avoid doing the taxes, which the DH is almost done with.
