Cold, raw, cloudy. Wind west to n.w.
Stovepipe fell down before breakfast.
Hubby pulled Julia to school on Johny's sled because it was to icy for an unshod horse to get there.
Coaxed my liege lord not to work on stable roof because it was too cold.
Baked and puttered around all day.
Hubby pulled me on the sled down to our East road. We brot Julia back.
Freddies cried from 12 o'clock till nearly 4 o'clock this morning teething.
Unseasonable sunny and warm. The ocean is so beautiful right now.
ReplyDeleteWorked until 9-ish tonight. I spent the day at the retail spot with Katya helping. We reworked the displays but I am not happy. We met with Sarah for lunch and she had some amazing ideas for the space. I am so frustrated with it right now so it was good to have a pair of fresh eyes.
Julia was already in bed when we got home. Ace and I watch a movie while Mike played with his new audio geek equipment. I am really going to miss Ace when he leaves on Sunday. He adds such a lovely element to our house. Our family feels really balanced when he is home.
It has been nice that Julia's internship has some late start days so I see her with a little less rushing in the mornings.
Had a big salad and an heading to bed. Things feel out of balance right now, too much work I think. I don't know if rest will help but I am pretty sure it won't hurt. Good night.
Nice sunny day today. The drive to work was gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAnother busy day, working on some interesting projects that will be fun to tell people about when they are out.
Turns out Mathew's parents tend to take care of themselves while visiting. Haven't seen them today. Apparently they stopped by earlier in the day to say hi between a movie and wandering around town. That is new for me, when my family comes to visit they are pretty heavily here to see me, so I end up getting stressed out feeling like I have to entertain them. Now I am stuck somewhere in between relief for not having to entertain and feeling slightly rejected. I am not taking it personal, just a different family dynamic. I suppose that is what you need to get used to when you get married now isn't it.
Luxurious Thursday comes every week. The first of two full days working from home- every week! One place, at my pace.
ReplyDeleteAlways feels like hooky. Always refreshing- even though I'm working.
I can't really remember the weather today, but this evening a thick fog is descending slowly upon us. Walking around downtown after Tron 3D at the Esquire, I feel like I'm IN Tron. So black and misty. No, maybe Ghostbusters- there's City Hall, and the ancient Library- the tops of the buildings slowly disappearing. Crows fill the treetops, as numerous as the leaves of summer, standing out starkly, eerily against the well lit historical buildings- and I feel thankful to have this night.
Yesterday, the contracts, and today the loan papers. I've never seen so many papers. I'm feeling buried in papers, and I'm starting to become stressed that I will miss some tiny little important thing. I'm trying to keep my cool.
Listened to Obama's speech in Arizona- just a speech about being a good human, not a jerk. I know a few people who should give this a listen. Sadly, so many folks that could take it to heart will never hear it because they don't like him. Why are politics so hateful and ridiculous?
We met Uncle Duck, Evan, Julia & Jake downtown at Temple for warm beverages, and took them to see Tron 3D. It was our second time (1st time for 3D), their first, and I loved it even more this time- even more in 3D! Not normally my preference- maybe it was IMAX that made it so rad. Evan flies back home to Denver tomorrow, and I'm glad we got two good nights with him this trip.
Started out to be a really bad day. I had found something out that needed a workthrough. It is always nice after the fact but it was one of those severely emotional things that if you don't deal with right away it can either spin out of control or fester and cause a major resentment days, weeks, months or years later - I learned my lesson with those kinds of things and found it best to get it out in the open right away.
ReplyDeleteGot through the torment of the emotion and took Richard out to sushi at a new favorite restaurant of ours and then across the parking lot to Dimple to buy him his birthday present. Yeah, he doesn't like surprises so I let him pick what he wanted (within reason - otherwise we would own the store!). He picked Goody Mob, Gnarls Barkley and the Foo Fighters and we got the 5th or 6th season of Futurama now that it is back on the air - we have a bit of an unhealthy obsession with the show but it brings us laughter.
Uneventful evening after that, we came home and watched some of the episodes and went to bed - Friday has a lot in store!
