Quiet End to The Week

Hey, Barb.

How nice to hear the tone in your writing of contentment and love, talking about your weekend. Yay for you! My thoughts will be with W tomorrow for the job fair. Lucky you, the weekend just kind of spills on over into the week!

I had a good weekend, too. Poor J was crazy busy on call; too many fires to mention and he was hardly home most of the time. This cut into his yardwork and his sleep, not to mention the work on the deck. Tonight we went out for dinner instead of staying in, which was much needed all around. We spent Friday night at K&R's for R's birthday, then Saturday night we ate at S&T's and were joined by the rest of the gang later in the evening. S and I were drinking chocolate martinis and I almost fell asleep on the deck couch at midnight...we had a great time, just the two of us, after everyone else kind of cut out. She doesn't drink much or often, so she's pretty fun when she does.

Mostly I'm tired, not in a bad way. Just not sleeping well, with J up and down all night, it's still hot, I hate my bed (going shopping for a new one STAT -- I just can't put it off anymore), that sort of thing. I'm ready to crash right now - 9:00pm, and I'm sure the humongous shrimp salad I had for dinner is prompting that. Not to mention the plate of fries that JJ received as a little gift from our favorite waiter (who's also a FD volunteer), which I pretty much ate by myself. Oink.

Anyway, not much in the mood to write although the funk is gone and I'm feeling good, emotionally. I got so much sun today - not that I'll ever catch up with your tan, even if you stayed in your closet from now until the day you get here. But God knows, I'm going to try. :-)

Love you,
A
