i am not sure why i am sitting around in my nightie and socks, wrapped in a blanket, messing with the final autumn images and writing when i have SO MUCH to do… i guess i am allowed until i finish my coffee! one can’t drink coffee and run up and down the basement steps, watching the top of one’s head at the short place. that would be dangerous. there is no traditional stuff to be done (whew), but i want to finish LOTS of the magazine, and all of the beds need to be switched and made cozy, some closet space cleared, etc. maybe the bathroom cleaned a little. then i can make ready and drive the slightly scary rental car to the airport (it wiggles? that is not good?) to pick up my girlies! dining plans are awkward. i thought a real city would have some open restaurants (not chains) for dinner, but nooooo … midwestern family values in effect there, too. but there are some possibilities. then Margaret is already invited to a sleepover and won’t even come home with me. SOB. but it is fine. it has been nearly 2 years since she has seen her friends off facebook. i am glad for her. i wonder what we will do all weekend! i might have to take that car back tomorrow and trade for a better one!
i really meant to sit here and list my gratefuls. they are all in my head. i have been thinking them all morning. there are so many. SO many. and i am glad. but i think i won’t do a long public list. i will, however, thank HUGELY all of my online friends for being in my world and also thank very much my Etsy customers who have almost afforded me a plane ticket for my Betsy for winter break. i just CAN’T continue to support Capitol One and their 28% interest rate. they are killing me. and i will also thank the universal being for getting my girls here this evening safely and without excessive airline delays and and and god if i get started … i will put pollyanna to shame. anyway … THANK YOU! and i wish contentment and a pleasant day to all.
