little better
Took a couple of days off — no computer, no work, just some reading and time with Chris and quiet. Nothing really to report other than thinking and talking — and Clerks II was funny as hell — and am feeling a bit better. Sometimes a small vacation is the only kind you can take and so you do it, and it works because it has to. I mean, what else are you going to do, when no matter what, you just keep getting up in the morning ’cause there’s still and always going to be good reasons to do so.

I also took some time away from the “usual” reading, writing and all things motherly. Borrowed a friend’s truck, loaded the bloodhound,stopped at the county extension greenhouses and bought a bunch of “deer resistent” plants and bushes and headed to Dingman’s Ferry. A solid day of working in the soil, getting rained on numberous times, watching thunder cells roll in over the lake and NOT listening to the news was just what was needed. Coming back over the bridge, stopping to give the guy in the lawnchair my $.75 toll and watching the 135 lb dog roll himself up in a ball for the ride home was too sweet! Upon return my family thought they’d never seen me dirtier, a compliment of sorts, but a quick bath and off the “Pirates of the whatever” and the end to a great day.
