Randomness

So far, this has been such a good weekend, with only a few blips and bumps to mar my enjoyment of it.  The best part?  There’s still another day left!

The weather here has turned distinctly fall like and I’ve been enjoying the hell out of my balcony – a cinnamon candle burning at my side, wrapped in a fuzzy soft blanket, the crisp, cool air, the occasional pattering of rain on my awning.

We’ve cleaned.  We’ve ridden, getting in as much time on the bike now as we can before it turns too cold, which it will, much sooner than we’re ready for it to.  We’ve eaten dinner out and eaten dinner in.  We’ve had evening snuggles and morning sex.  I’ve reviewed my big butt off.  We rescued a baby squirrel.

I’m not kidding.

It’s now at the wild animal rescue facility but it sure was fun for Taylor to cuddle the little guy for awhile.  It didn’t like me one bit but it kept following Taylor around, climbing up his boot, pants leg, shirt to sit on his shoulder.

Not sure what we’ll do tomorrow, though I know it will include a stop for a cappuccino.  Now that Taylor has a laptop, he really likes to go sit and people watch while he messes around online and there is an awesome coffee shop called Moondance that we both love.  Alterra coffee, incredible food and the owner makes you feel so welcome.  We went in once, a year ago, and when we stopped back this year, he actually remembered us.  Amazing.

Other than that, I guess we’ll play it by ear.  I know I have to at least check in at work a couple times since it’s otherwise only the new kids working and they may need a hand. I have to bleach That Teen’s hair.  I should do a load of laundry.  It doesn’t really matter what we do though, really. It just feels good to have a three day weekend.

I haven’t had any real time off since Memorial Day so I appreciate it a lot.

I’m sort of bummed that I didn’t take a vacation at all this summer but I suppose I can take some time in fall just as easily.  Maybe a nice, long, luxurious hotel weekend.

And now, I believe I shall go have a bath.  Brew up a mug of vanilla coffee, throw a handful of vanilla salts in the bath water and let the warmth ease my muscles and soothe my soul – not that either are very sore but, still, some ease and soothing can never hurt.

I had all this stuff I was going to write about, deep thoughts and pretty words, but I had to go pick up the kid earlier than I’d planned and lost my writing mojo.

I hope everyone is enjoying this last bit of summer – or start of fall, if you’re having weather like we are!
