MISC.

we spent a good part of the weekend near columbus with our dear friends, dt and lee. it wasn't bad enough for my sensitive vocal chords to spend nearly the entire last half of the workday thursday on the phone trying to solve a customer's problem, continuing on to the entire first entire half of friday on phone with same customer. i had very little voice left by the time we left friday evening. being the trooper that i am, it didn't stop me one bit from non-stop talking and laughing for the next 18 hours. too much fun. too, too much fun.

lee and i had a conversation about how we really LIKE being the age we are. we talked about how we look in the mirror and go, "what the heck?" we look at our wrinkles on our faces and decide that we've earned every single one of them. we've both been through some hard times and are proud of how we've dealt with them and what we've accomplished. and we also know that we wouldn't go back. for anything. life is good. really good.

yesterday afternoon, bill and i spent a couple hours in a starbucks before dinner so bill could get some work done on his tablet pc on line. i put my feet up and read. it was delicious. i started to get tired, so i asked bill if it would be weird if i put my head back and took a little nap (not normal public behaviour for me). i very, very rarely can sleep sitting up, so i wasn't sure if i could really sleep. but bill's "go ahead" response was the last thing i remember for almost 2 HOURS! i woke up, entirely refreshed and awake, picked up my book right where i left off. IT WAS GREAT. i have no idea if i'll ever be able to do that again.

lee and dt wanted us to take their downstairs master bedroom, but my pride wouldn't let me. i told them that i sleep upstairs every night in our own home, dismissing the fact that there's no bathroom upstairs at their house, the steps are unusually steep, and there are no handrails. in the middle of the night, bill woke himself up to help me down the steps to use the bathroom and then back up to bed again. there are so many ways to show someone that you love him or her. i feel loved. in the very early morning, i woke up to have to use the bathroom again. too early to ask bill for help, cuz i knew he'd not be able to sleep again. i scooted down on my butt. i wish i would have thought of it the night before. easy. dt greeted me at the bottom, not mentioning my mode of travel. another way to show your love. and then he got me a cup of seattle's best creme brulee coffee. yet another way.

we had dinner with matt and mel before heading home to cleveland to a very, very bad bella and her frazzled, yet merciful and kind master for the night, jackson. dinner and time with matt and mel was delightful. delightful.

once again this morning, for probably the 150th time in 30 years, we had to hunt down the ONE plunger in the house. which bathroom is it in? or is it in the laundry tub? where is it? QUICK!!!
