#81 It’s Friday morning, the house is quiet except for 4 clocks ticking around me, and I’m on my second cup of coffee, gearing up to seize the day. The clocks are laying down a beat and winding me up. Miko Polo is still asleep on the couch, which he is too long for, so he’s curled up, adorably, under Mateo’s Spiderman blanket. I think that book I’ll Love You Forever is a little creepy, so it’s not like I’m going to go rock him now or anything. But I do like that I can hear him breathing in the next room, where he fell asleep watching SNL reruns. On a Thursday, so I guess that makes it TNR (Thursday Night Reruns) instead.
Things I soverymuchneeded today:
#73 a leisurely lunch with just me and my Miko Polo, come home from his travels
#74 a long (6-mile) walk around the neighborhood
#75 walking on sunshine
#76 without sleeves
#77 to the beat of Gungor’s Beautiful Things
#78 drinking in a few of God’s beautiful things, like pear trees in bloom, along the way
#79 letting a few tears fall. iHope they water things.
#80 napping like a cat
#61 is having all three of my Redheads under the Evanshire’s happy roof.
#62 is having my Miko Polo, finally home from his travels, after 209 days of missing him.
#63 and, according to Amanda Michele Freaking Evans voice mail message, the best part of waking up is having Amanda in my cup. Yep. Tastes like caffeine.
