Money in the bank
Last night’s pill taking proceeded smoothly. Many thanks to Yaron and Chooky for a job well done. Gilly had something to do with it too; he solemnly promised to take the pills no matter what. He finally realized that I was devastated by Friday’s night’s events, and insisted that I go out and put my trust in him. He didn’t let me down (not that he would ever do this on purpose, of course. I am sorry he perceives it as a trust issue; he simply falls asleep at the drop of a hat these days).
Weather-wise, it was the most glorious weekend ever. I was fortunate to join the w.c. (my friends’ not so secret walking club) on two delightful occasions. I desperately need the exercise; the sunshine was a bonus. Fresh air running through my head feels marvelous; downright liberating. Thanks for including me, w.c. members!
Gilly encourages me to go out and get my muscles pumping whenever the opportunity presents itself. He knows how good it makes me feel to release my pent up emotions in a healthy, enjoyable way. We both benefit from the results. He spent some quality alone time with his children, so I had no call to feel guilty for ducking out for a few hours to walk both Sunday and Monday. There’s nothing like a holiday weekend to regenerate whatever needs rejuvenating.
Our starting point and final destination was the Atwater Market this afternoon. I chose large, ripe, juicy MacIntosh apples to make apple treats for my fellas. Gilly is savouring a maple baked apple at this very moment. His sense of taste has heightened recently; he actually rubs his hands and licks his lips in anticipation of favourite foods. I am beginning to enjoy cooking again.
I have one more day tacked onto the weekend, because it is Monday on Tuesday this week at Vanier (to make up for Monday holidays). I am able to work from home tomorrow because my students asked to have their Monday seminar in the field on Thursday instead, and there is no scheduled faculty meeting. Yet another bonus! I tend to get more work done from 6:00 a.m. to noon on my dining room table than anywhere else these days. It is quiet at that hour, and my mind tends to be fresh. I plan to take advantage of tomorrows’ forecast for rain to buckle down and make some serious headway in my school work. I want to ensure that this l-o-n-g weekend’s liberties ease next week’s time constraints; like freezing healthy, delicious leftovers / money in the bank!
