it is evening.
i am home alone just now.
there are remnants of the supper i cooked on the stove and dishes on the counters.
{i like it best when ben and i cook together - he mostly does the cooking, i am his sous chef and clean-up brigade - and it all gets done at once and we enjoy a meal together. right now, that is not the way things are alingend. i miss that way of being. we'll get back to it, sometime.}
{maddie came over and chopped and cooked with me last night and we ate together. that was really, really nice. we also did her taxes - and she is pretty stoked about the return she will be getting. sort of a forced savings account - and that worked in her favor this year.}
i am brewing a single-serve cup of coffee to have with gluten free oreos. i will eat more than one cookie.
my plan for the evening is to send a slew of pictures to the printer, so i can pick them up in the next day or two and put together a board for isaac's senior hockey night.
in between loading pictures, i will do the kitchen clean-up.
i don't like thinking about this senior night. hockey has been so good for isaac - i don't want to think about high school hockey coming to an end for him. but i also want to make it as really, really nice for him as i can. so, i need to think about it.
so, i have started the download, upload process . . . and then there will be a bit of editing . . . well, cropping anyway . . . but, this is going to take patience . . . and i just feel jittery.
which is why i am going to multi-task . . . and step away from my laptop to do some dishes.
i did plug my laptop in, so i won't run the battery down and have the whole thing suddenly go blank on me. so there's that.
alright - this is what i've got tonight. maybe tomorrow i'll have a happy report about sending the pictures off to the printer.
i'll end with my long-standing wish for all of us:
go gently, love fiercely, and be wonderful.
