up late

sharing banter with David Letterman. Finally it was just too hot in my room so I ended up sleeping on the floor in the family room. Always a nice breezy place.

Out walking this am, sorely aware ;-) that I need new walking shoes, but it will have to wait until after a few other big budget items. Thought about precious Hunter and how soft and gentle and everything is so "present" for him. "I'm hungry now" "I want to go outside" (signals with out stretching his hand, taking your hand and walking you to the door) "Mommy" "Daddy" (they are gone and he whimpers and points to the door--any time during the duration--out of nowhere hours into play--just "Mommy" "Daddy" and the point. How he loves to cuddle with a book, a iPhone lotsoffiretrucks.com movie, or just preparing for a nap. How he trusts. when I put him down I'll sit in the rocker and tell him "I'll wait right here while you fall asleep and will be back in a second when you call me later". I tell him "Gma will take care of you, honey" and mean it.

Then I realized I never fed him any veggies. Whoops. He needs veggies!!! I'll do a better job next time. Yep, reflecting on my time with Hunter was a good companion as I walked.

My hip is giving me problems. Shoes and not stretching I imagine. Considering going back to yoga instead of just donating to the Wellness Center and not going ;-) Zumba is Thursday night--now that sounds fun!

Accomplished something big this morning. Actually took the harp outside and down the back steps and stowed it in the lower level (cooler, don't have to run a/c so much). Yes, it was hard. Yes, I usually have Doug help me (a lot) but he kept coming at the wrong time (raining, I was dressed to go out to lunch and pushing/shoving a harp down outside with the mosquitoes was not my idea of how to present at lunch)--The harp got hung up on the top steps, but I pushed and shoved and rocked and WHOOSHHHHHHHHHHH it went down the steps. (I'm sure Marshall thought I was riding a roller coaster over here with all the noise I kicked up)

Heh, a squirrel was eating my tomatoes this morning. Gpa says they do that to get the water. hmm. I noted they only eat ripe ones, not the green ones. Creeps!

Off to A2 today. A few errands, need to pick up ingredients to take care of these very ripening bananas (banana cream pie anyone?) Will make a lot of batter, cook in the cool of the evening (supposed to be 85 and sweaty today) and freeze for quick breakfasts in the morning. . Well, Happy Kristine's Birthday. If you are my kids, drop your Gpa a card or call this week. He loves it and It's the right thing to do. ;-)
