Saturday night at the movies

Gilly spent a relaxing day at home, sheltered from the miserable weather outside. For those living outside of this region, you may perceive my daily ‘rainy’ reports as bleak, but I’ve actually spotted a few of our neighbours designing on an ark. The grass is becoming greener every day, but alas, it is too wet to cut. Gilly spent what was left of the morning (he awoke teenager style yet again; 10 a.m.) preparing for the end of this constant stream of precipitation by greasing his lawn mower and hedge trimmer.

I read a decent portion of my Saturday Gazette, prepared meals for my men, and made a dent in the final grading of papers for my Nutrition for Children course. Not bad for a lazy Saturday. I can tick that task off and move onto the umpteen others that lay ahead before my work can be considered done for the semester. June 1st is a target date for the large percentage of remaining paperwork, so the end is in sight.

I decided to rent a few DVD’s tonight featuring stand-up comedy. Gilly cannot see the screen well enough to appreciate a movie, so I decided to tempt him with a dose of good, old fashioned laughter. They say a good guffaw has healing powers, so why not bring on the humour? I could not find any of his favourite stand-up comics in the video store (George Carlin and Bill Cosby come to mind), but it’s a start. We’ll see how it goes.
