I'm having an okay day so far. I rescheduled a dentist appointment for today, because I was really tired this morning and didn't feel like getting up early and driving 30 miles. H had a sculpture project due - a 12-inch tall coil-constructed pot for his Ceramics class. He was up until around 3:30 doing it. Our S2 woke up at 4 am crying, but went back to sleep after some hugs and a drink. I was struck last night by the utter peace in our living room.
I put S to bed, and H set up a new game for me to play - RPG, but not online, and he got started on his project. We talked every once in a while, but mostly there was just this quiet and comfortable silence. I had gotten everything done I needed to, and had my pajamas on. We were full from the new Jamaican Jerk chicken recipe I tried last night (it needs some sort of sauce - tasty but somewhat too dry). I gave him a kiss on the cheek before I headed to bed, and laid down.
I was just overwhelmed with this amazing peace when I laid down. I didn't have any huge anxieties, or terrible pain. I felt safe and content. I snuggled up under our comforter in our wonderful king-size bed, and fell asleep. I'm writing this mostly because I just want to remember it. Today we got a call from BIL - he is looking into buying a house from one of our friends, and wanted to know if Dustin would be willing to do some work with him on some houses. SIL wants me to maybe work with her selling jewelry, which would be nice because I would have some money. These are some good ways for us to ease our financial situation without complicating things too much.
Life is pretty good today. Hugs to all, Myrrh
One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.
