Day 93-98 – Sights and Sounds

My in-laws arrived last Thursday, so I’ve been quite busy.  Apologies for the late update, but here it is:

Day 93 – Today was the first day I noticed buds on the trees.  I’m always fascinated by how one day there aren’t any, and the next the tree is full of them.   Buds on the trees always get me excited too, because it’s proof that spring is finally here.  Goodbye Winter Blahs!!!

Day 94 – Late in the evening, my husband and I sat out in our backyard.  We are fortunate enough to live in the city, but be in a quiet area.
The road at the back of our house hardly gets any traffic and is lined with trees.  It was a particularly windy evening and, instead of chatting, he and I listened to the leaves dancing across the pavement.  Dried leaves and branches make beautiful music together.

Day 95 – Do you know what’s better than a freshly painted kitchen and hallway?  A freshly painted kitchen and hallway paid for and completed by someone else!  My in-laws are the best.

Day 96 – While at my parents’ place for Easter, I decided to bunker down with AJ for her nap.  I don’t normally sleep in the same bed with her, because she’d rather play than sleep most of the time.  But she quieted down and a few minutes later my husband joined us.  The three of us slept soundly together for most of the afternoon.  It was so sweet.

Day 97 – I love this song.  And it has so much more meaning for me now.

Day 98 – I’m not usually a fan of storms.  They scare me.  But last night’s storm was made alright with a bit of imagination.  I opened up my window as wide as it would go because I noticed that the sound reminded me of my honeymoon camping in the Rockies.  I lay down and close my eyes and I was there again.    The storm wasn’t so scary anymore.

Day 86 through 89 – Barbiturate anyone?

I have much beauty to catch up on, so here goes:

Day 86 -Alain Toussaint

Day 87 –After almost a week of migraine, I finally broke down, stopped breastfeeding and took a Fiorinal.  Beatrice was self-weaning herself anyway, so the timing was good.  And though it didn’t take it all away, I was able to function.  Sort of.

Still, much better than what Advil was doing for me.

Day 88 -Butterflies

After many months off-stage, I had a rehearsal recently for a fundraiser performance. I was excited to be in the same room with the cast again, four years after premiering the show at the Fringe.    I laughed.  I cried.  I orgasm-ed.  And I had butterflies.

Day 89 – My new favorite snack!
