It's 43 degrees and sunny, No, I am not at the beach, but I WISH I was...I am grateful for a (mostly) lazy week past with my dear spouse, keeping him company while he was sick and getting better. He is still finishing the cough and subject to periods of weakness...has to be careful! We watched TV, including a marathon of House, slept, told each other jokes, and did a good amount of Dog Worship.
Memo to myself: if the white dogs sleep cutely on the red plush blanket all day, it behooves you to do more than admire them and take pictures of them. Take them out for at least two good runs during the day...because otherwise they will be awake ALL.NIGHT.LONG. Wanting to play. Just like kids.
Both dogs had baths this morning. Josie, my sitting in the sun dog, found herself a sunbeam in the office on top of a box, but it has moved and she has now wedged herself in between the box and the bag next to it...to better take advantage of the sunbeam.
Tonight I am going back to Weight Watchers (really!) and to a visitation for a sweet lady. We have been taking communion to her in a local nursing home for several years. She was never a member of our church and always talked so longingly of her church home of many years in New England.
Headed to Mom and Dad's - probably on New Year's Day - to help them with some freezer cooking and just general hanging out. Mom fell last week and broke a rib (AUGH!) so she is moving slowly.
As I type, my new Rosetta Stone software is loading. I'm excited! I've been saying for years that I was going to get back to my study of Spanish (to try to regain & improve on what I learned all those years ago in college classrooms). This was part of my Christmas present from Ken! I am looking forward to getting started again. My hope is that I can progress beyond sounding like "an insane baby," as David Sedaris describes the fumbling efforts of adult language learners.
