Nice break. But lately it seems like i have no time
at all to get here and put down thoughts. And what
bit of time i do have, i usually want to spend on my
learning-to-paint quest.
Last Tuesday morning started out pretty err...
interesting. First thing i discover when i get ready
for my shower, is a spider in the bathroom. i do not
share my naked space with spiders very well. And
knowing that i'd spend the entire time eyeballing it - i
decided to dash downstairs and grab the fly
swatter. Of course, after standing on the
toilet seat and taking aim, i think i missed 'cause it
fell to the ground and was lost forever. Blech.
So i gave up the search and went for the shower.
Turned on the taps and then pulled the button for the
shower head and wham! The entire side of the shower
head split a seam and water spewed over my head, and hit
the wall behind me with enough strength to bounce back and
soak me, the floor, the room ...
Clearly the morning was not going well. But lucky
for us (well me), we do have another bathroom. So i
went downstairs to shower - but first i had to empty and
clean out the tub. Because the room is off the
kitchen and used more as a "mudroom" than
anything else, i tend to store things in the tub.
Like the cat carrier, and beer, and boxes of
whatever. Sigh.
And the cats are used to having that room to blast around
in. It's warmer now, so i leave the door open
to let out some of the steam. This of course means
that the cats can come in and investigate. That's
not really bad - except when maddy decided to taking a
running leap from the kitchen full into the room -
attempting to land on the ledge of the tub.
Said feline skidded off and landed fully into the tub, at
my feet. i'm not sure which of us squealed
loudest. She left ticked-off kitty wet tracks
everywhere.
So Himself and i are having a child-less weekend.
Which is very odd and unsettling. We are so used to
having at least one of them around that it gets really
lonely when none show up. Boo.
But we are having some nice time just kicking around
together. We went to our favourite sushi place on
Thursday - and He's been cooking killer dinners since
then. Yesterday we had breakfast out, and did a
bunch of errand stuff, as well as buying new rose bushes (yay!)
and some pansies for me. i also got in some good
painting time - but the camera really is not taking a good
pic of it. i keep adjusting the settings but nothing
seems to be working. Pah.
Himself gave me a truly confidence-building compliment
about all this painting stuff though - something about my
work being as good as some He's seen in a gallery we
sometimes go to. What?! This from the man whom
i consider well versed in good art. i was a tad
blown away - but just those few words have encouraged me
to keep on going.
So today we are off to the ROM
to see the Egyptian exhibit before it's gone. And
tomorrow i'm having an afternoon art class. Perfect
activities to end the long weekend.
Well except for sex. And that's definitely on the
menu. Yum.
