today it was SEVENTY TWO degrees outside. when mollie and i went running she got hot and i had to keep giving her water. on the bitingly cold days we’ve been running this winter she was always hurrying along, straining at the leash, making me feel slow and cold and not so happy about the whole outside thing.
but today…today i trimmed the rose bushes, i threw piles of leaves on the mulch pile, i had a great time outside.
one perfectly fine day.
tonight it’s going to get colder and colder. 45 at six a.m., but then by noon it’s supposed to be 32, with snow/rain. so if i was going to get up at six i could go running, but i think maybe that won’t happen.
at least today was spectacular.
last night’s birthdday dinner for mom was fun, despite people dropping like flies. jim is so sick that he didn’t even come over, randy was exhausted because he stayed out late/got up too early, amy was tired from working all day, kevin was tired from doing too much plus he’s also getting sick…
but the lemon cheesecake was a big hit, also the poppy seed lemon cake with lemon frosting. plus there were plenty of gifts for mom.
after watching “meet the press” this morning and being annoyed with james carville who kept hemming and hawing and trying to say that things aren’t over for hillary, i didn’t want to waste any time inside, so i haven’t kept up with any breaking stories about the campaign. i hope obama did ok without my constant surveillance of the situation.
ok then, good luck with your monday morning,
sunday night grace
