Joys:

I expressed some angst to Christine, partly about how we have dinner in such a way that it leads into watching TV for the rest of the evening (and not progressing on personal, household, or work things). She suggests we attempt some meals at the table. This could be the beginning of a lovely habit.

Committee meeting Thursday evening is comfortable, even with tech issues and my sense of urgency unmet. I suspect that sense may be left over from work.

Marlowe is demanding pets and attention. I love how cats offer a role model for confidently asking for attention.

Other:

We've moved into "Abnormally dry" locally and are in a drought, generally in the state. No significant rain expected this month. In a way, this offers me the flexibility to pick days off for this month and expect that i'll be able to work outside. (Might get cold.)

Dismissed some email to the "won't be responding" pile. I can't go back in time to be a better correspondent and keep up with being a better correspondent in the present.

I received a gift of smoked mullet and immediately put it in the freezer. By the time i realized that was wrong, the fish was frozen.

May you receive adequate spiritual moistening!

With the trunk not waterproof i am slightly thankful for the dry weather -- and then there was either a mist or heavy dew this morning.

I like the idea of stting at the table - we rarely spend time together in the evenings here, he comes home and sits in front of the computer watching "tv" and I'm in the living room. Granted it's only 6' apart but it still bothers me sometimes =( I always get an "I'm tired I worked all day" comment. Sometimes I'm just lonely and it would be nice to have him beside me

I think if we do this often we might need to invest in more comfortable furniture. It's all hand-me-downs at this point. It is nice to have times to be close -- we do spend time together, it's just with the TV in front of us.

same kind of here and I think comfy furniture is always a good investment!

He likes smokes salmon and that freezes fine


I don't think freezing smoked fish will do it any harm.

Oh yay! The internet is full of overly-cautious advice.
