Mindless, Purely Entertaining

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's when people don't
communicate (with me, with each other, in general). For
the past two weeks I've been under the impression that
Helena was coming this weekend. Not that it matters to me
one way or the other if she comes, but I was expecting her
and when she hadn't shown up by 1:30pm I started to worry
a little. She's always here bright and early. I went back
and looked through the few emails she'd sent me and never
did she mention what month she was coming. Only that she'd
be flying in on the 24th and flying out on the 29th. She'd
split her time here between her best friend Judy and the
kids and I. I noticed in one of the emails she mentioned
spending Friday with Judy. The 24th didn't fall on a
Friday this month, but it does next month. So, I figured
it out. Helena tends to write her emails in a very
abridged version of her own short-hand. This wouldn't be
the first time she's left out pertinent information. It
doesn't matter. I figured it out.

I luxuriated in the pleasure of spending a full day at
home :) By nature I'm a home-body, but I love having
structured days - a plan. Especially with Snookums being
gone. An idle body leads to an idle mind and my idle mind
has no problem getting me in trouble. The majority of the
day I spent doing light cleaning. Once I ran out of things
to clean I ended up doing some baking with the kids
(chocolate cookies), some laundry (I'm trying to keep up
on it) and then Annie and I watched a Nora Roberts movie
marathon on Lifetime. They were pretty good movies, too.
I've never read a Nora Roberts novel before, but the
movies were engaging to say the least. Maybe I won't turn
my nose up at them the next time I'm in need of a
mindless, purely entertaining read.

It perturbs me slightly that all day I struggled to stay
awake and now that it's time to sleep, I don't want to.
The urge to nap when the little ones did was very strong,
but I didn't because I didn't want a nap to keep me up
late tonight. Now, it's after midnight and I should be
clamouring for my bed, but I'm not. Why do I always get
this second (sometimes third) wind right when I should be
tucking myself into bed? It never fails. I've got no
reason to stay up late (unlike last night. I was cleaning
fish tanks at 2am), so I might as well retire with my
book. I should fall asleep soon enough. Ciao.
