Simple Existence

Because Deb had to leave town on Mother’s Day, I waited until she got back to give her these flowers. It has been so good to see her face, and feel her skin, and just be together doing nothing.  Whatever we were going through with SB has passed.   It has been a pleasure this week and even when he his attitude has reared it’s head, I am not getting hooked.  

My trip was rejuvenating in one sense, and exhausting in the other.  Instead of trying to get everything unpacked and put away, we just decided to be on Saturday and Sunday.  I cleaned the house a little on Saturday, but still we have been scrimping for laundry and living out of suitcases all week. 

I took Sweet Boy out for a special dinner with just the two of us on our way to pick up Deb from the airport on Saturday night.   We had Chinese food.  I had a really great Asian salad, and he had sweet and sour chicken and some fruit punch.   His chicken was kind of tough and he said it didn’t taste very good, but we were in a hurry and I didn’t have time to really complain about it.  Well, he either got the 24 hour flu, or he got food poisoning from the chicken.   Either way, he yells at 3 am, as he runs from his bed to the bathroom, that his stomach hurts.  He didn’t make it to the bathroom….. The life size teddy bear that went from living in my beloved’s waiting room, to living in SB’s room, now lives at the dump.  Our poor little bugger slept all day Sunday and didn’t eat much.  He was all better by Monday morning.   

We are all off for the next four days and I am really looking forward to unplugging everything.  I was planning on gardening and hiking, but it looks like it might be a little rainy.  So, I guess I’ll just ‘have’ to stay inside and read a good book or two.  Yes, Yes, Yes…. we get to sleep in and have lazy coffee mornings all weekend. 

Have a great weekend!
