In
one of my jotbooks I
have a list of future, totally random blog topics for nights like
tonight where the day has been SO chaotic, as was yesterday, that I
JUST HAVE TO WRITE SOMETHING. So I've picked a topic from there. I have words itching to get out of
me...and I have the need to be by myself, at my beloved laptop,
drinking my evening wine, and chilling. Not running around like some
sort of crazed cab driver, though not sure you can call it that when
you're the passenger and have your Transporter (that's Jake's new
nickname – will have to update tab above) who has his shiny new
permit and all of a sudden lots of places to go, AND does the
driving. He's a very good driver.
Nonetheless,
I'm in the car and not at home, I'm at the auto-parts store because
my car died on one of two main thoroughfares thru town, or the boys
are spending their hard-earned money from today's manual labor
assignments (which means pigs might fly and you might ice-skate in
Hades...but The Engineer, who tore his rotator cuff, is ACTUALLY NOT
DOING MANUAL LABOR) and if they don't spend it SOON it will
evaporate, so of course they want McDonald's.
However,
that's not what I was going to write about...that was my intro, but
at 220 words, and my continued quest for brevity, I'll do this
instead.
Contentment
update.
- I'm not on bed rest
- I can breathe
- I'm having a Superbowl Party even though my beloved Broncos won't be there
- My family is starting to have some semblance of normalcy as I heal.
- I'm having a BLAST meeting new bloggers as I wander the list checking out the participants.
- I am getting to write right now, even though it's the next morning...
- My Amazing Aunt Risky is coming for a visit in less than a week and taking the boys snowboarding ON THE WEEKEND that The Engineer and I are doing a (very unusual for us) romantic getaway. Talk about good timing, completely unpredicted or planned. We were just going to leave them home, since it's not an overnight thing, but this is oh so much better.
