City Bound

at by

Armed with sustenance for my husband, I’m heading into Manhattan this morning. Officially, I’ll be there for work, but I’m also happy that I can grab a bit of time with Don. And it will be a bit, as we are on different schedules. Tonight, when Don is home from rehearsal, I will be watching Anastasia  again and taking notes. Tomorrow, when I’m free during the day, he’ll be at rehearsal and I have to do a little coaching at the theater between 5 and 6:30.

But we will get to spend some time together tomorrow night, then I head home on Friday.

Only a few more days in the rehearsal studios for Escape and then, next week, they will move to the theater. Busy times!

Rick and Doug had to be gone all day yesterday, so I stopped by their house to walk Sam and play with him a bit. He’s so adorable. We walked through the woods and to the pond, with Sam grabbing a stick for the journey. (He loves walking with a stick in his mouth.) Lots of energy, lots of tail wagging and, when the stick broke in two, he managed to get both of the sticks in his mouth for the return journey. We played with one of his toys for a while when we got back in the house. And then he licked me all over my face.

What a sweetie.

I didn’t watch the speech last night. One thing I knew for certain: a traitor to our country would do nothing but lie. And, of course, that’s what happened.

#Resist.

Happy Wednesday.

 

Disheartened

at by

I’m taking a break today. Frankly, I’m so disheartened and sickened by what happened yesterday to our democracy and the rule of law that I can’t see beyond that. Posting a pretty picture isn’t going to work today, my friends. I just need to step away. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I urge you to get up to speed. The future of our country and our democracy may just come down to us.

And who wants to read a post full of profanities? Right?

I’ll be back.

 

Winter Chores

at by

You’re seeing the fruits of my labor of several hours yesterday. The ice slab, which covered the entire area next to the funky patio and out beyond the orange cones, has been broken up. I worked on it off and on yesterday. Since the temps were in the forties and didn’t go below freezing overnight from Saturday to Sunday, it was the perfect time to tackle it. It’s going to get cold again by mid week and will stay cold for at least another week, so it was now or never.

I was feeling sore last night, but I feel fine this morning. I’m going to throw some salt on the area this morning and run some errands. I’m having lunch or dinner with Rick and Doug today and tomorrow I’m going to look in on their sweet dog, Sam, while they are gone for the day. Then it’s off to NYC on Wednesday morning.

My sister has good news and she blogged about it, so stop by and read up on the latest!

Oh and I have to make cookies at some point today so that some guy I know will stop saying how much he misses eating them.

I’ll be in the city on Wednesday and Thursday and then I’ll come back home on Friday as the nighttime temps are going to drop into the single digits and that means running a drip. Maybe I’ll tackle that last wall in the kitchen? It needs a coat of yellow paint.

Happy Monday.
