Oh happy day

Oh happy day. Ohhh happy day.  Oh happy day.  (I'm humming that song while typing this)......

Our friend Julie came up from Louisville yesterday and spent the night.  We actually had a "normal" human night like a lot of people do.  The three of us went out to dinner at a great little local independent restaurant. There were loads of laughs, good "comfort" food, a few drinks for Julie and me.  Roger ate more than I have seen him eat in a long time.  It was just a really nice "normal" evening that was borderline... carefree. We stayed up waaaay too late. As the clock struck 1:00 a.m., I announced to the two chatty cathys that I couldn't stay up any longer.  They followed suit and we all shuffled off to bed.  The night was a typical night for Roger (which isnt a great one)...up constantly, pain/discomfort so he slept in later than Julie and I did.  Julie and I got up around 7:00 and continued the stream of chatting as though we had never stopped. 

Julie left around noon.  Which left us with the question, nap or deal with snow?  I was voting for nap...might mouse, Roger, voted for snow and jumped up to start the layering up process.  I heaved a sigh and shuffled off to put on my boots.  Roger got the snow blower out and did our driveway and back courtyard.  I did the driveway and walks for the old gal across the street.  After about 30-45 minutes with pink, cold wet noses we put away the shovel and snow blower.  We quickly assessed our work and then hustled his frozen skinny butt and my not-so-skinny frozen butt indoors.  And, we haven't budged since.  He's been napping on and off and I've been reading and working on the computer. 

Agenda tomorrow could be house projects, could be a movie, could be the Home and Garden Show or could be quiet time on the sofa. The course of action is dependent on how Roger is doing.  We'll see....

hugs to all, a
