what am I glad i did today? I did up some house shining, a lil lottery raft of cash walk the boat bubbled and sank, I baked/reheated spaghetti so as not to waste food, I made more clementine juice/tonics i walked the dogs – one of which nearly immediately peed anyways minus warning. I suppose though the biggest thing was being up before 11 as i caught the phone calls.
what was my last vacation, where did i go/do/etc. this is trickier in language because technically my last “vacation” was moving from the old life up into the mountains -finding anything that paid and making some checks and spending them hither or dither on fine moments. it sounds suspiciously like living and I moved back to “town” albeit a different one and as yet haven’t found that paycheck don’t do nearly that much of anything – typical result of vacation there but the former felt more like one. otherwise about the last vacation i took was from work to catch up with a buddy in nyc. I was slated to have a real vacation of seeing more than an airport in florida next but managed to not remember some vocabulary that was important and missed my flights. so instead of tanning i stayed in town for a nasty winter cold snap.
now as moments of life go- not all moments seem all that magical. I wouldn’t be painting my reheated dinner as hoit d cuisine. even if it did have delicious onion atop gooey cheese. I can’t say losing at the lottery was equally invigorating either but it was a moment away and a walk….peaceful…nothing lately is as good as a freshly squuezed clementine with bubbly water…okay tonic is’nt most ideal but it’s nice enough and a lot handier to have should i have wanted a gin and tonic which i skipped. I can’t say it felt like my turn to shiney the house but it needed it and it is done for the task I was slated for. who doesn’t go ahhhhh after seeing little if nothing left needing doing and enjoy that instant?…of course blindness here isn’t helpful in that i never see the more needing attention so I get too many ah which can lead to a different tone of ahhh! 😉 and duh making the timing on pooch care even if it didn’t turn out that way is important-..they needn’t be in all the trouble they can nose up 😉 but how could this be magical? vacationy.. a bucket of beverages under an umbrella somewhere’s else? I wonder if that’d make it vacation y or gladdenning… but none the same it still didn’t SEEM magical.
Most of life is not magical. But, I see the magic. And am grateful for those magical moments every day. 🙂
Have been planning a long good one for this year, though Yay! And fortunately I get lots of family and friends who come visit me…so that is like a vacation to me as I love hostessing and the fun things we get to do while they are with me! 🙂
But, we do the things we gotta’ do and hopefully that makes our life, and the lives of those around us (even the pooches. 😀 ) better! 🙂
My last real vacation was sooooo long ago I’m embarrassed to say how long ago.
HUGS!!! no tugs, slugs, thugs, or bugs! 😉 How about some pugs, jugs, mugs or Zugs? (That’s a city in Switzerland! 😀 )
