Best laid plans. . .


Well, we were *supposed* to be getting ready for our trip today, but it has instead turned into a long relaxed don't-get-anything-done day. Which is NOT a complaint, by the way. We did pick up a bit in the living room, which still needs to be vacuumed; the kitchen, however, remains untouched.


It's been a very pleasant day, though. I had trouble falling asleep last night (more upset than I ought to be over losing that stupid office) so I took a sleeping pill. Slept until 8:00 o'clock, which is about 3 hours longer than usual. Ralph made extra-strong coffee & I brain-sucked for a bit until breakfast time, which consisted of turkey burgers Ralph cooked on the grill--yum! Read for a while, then we drove to the pet shop for some aquarium plants. They had some adorable kittens, including to almost identical grey & white cuties curled up sleeping next to each other. Obviously littermates :-) Then we went to the bookstore (got the rest of the "Shopaholic" series) followed by lunch at Pick-Up Stix. Back home to read in the sunshine & play with the dogs a bit. And now here it is, 4:00 pm, the day frittered away--life is good!
So now Ralph is setting the new plants up in the aquarium. We bought 10 of them; I really think it's going to look good when it's all set up. Ralph picked them all out, and he chose a variety of them: one long & thin, some broad-leafed ones, even a purple one. The fish pretty much have devoured the old plants; it really was time to restock.
And tomorrow our vacation officially starts as we hit the road. Not sure we'll have Internet access along the way, so I can't promise a daily post. Then again, I think Big Sis & I are the only ones who read this blog :-)
