Things we did/felt over the weekend

• we had a mini fight last night & try as I might, I can not remember how it started - it was inane, and had something to do with hugging at night. ever since we got the King size bed, that our landlord left behind, I don't wake up in a hug in the morning. In all the other places we've lived in, we've had smaller beds than this & it's so conducive to falling asleep & waking up in hugs. I thrash around a - lot when I sleep & this new bed means we go to sleep in a hug but at morning, i have traveled far away from boy. Anyhow, i made a fuss, and lots of silliness later, we unearthed the real reason, slept & woke up to a brand new day.

• The boy is more frustrated than i about my unemployment. He thinks of it as wasted potential & feels i really must get out of the house (which i really need do) & he feels my boredom more than i do - which is really nice but instead of making me buckle up and search harder, it only frustrates me more. i hate that the visa thing stands between & the data entry / mindless jobs i want before i can decide what i really really want to do.

• we are finally getting a schedule together - he's limiting his pool to three days in a week - & i am finding that i tend to eat more those days because i am bored. I could go with him those days but really nothing bores me more than watching the boy play. Or nothing used to bore me more than watching him play. I haven't done it in a couple of years so maybe it'll be different now.

• what we cooked today:

barbecued chicken marinated forever in peanut & worstechire sauces & other stuff
crispy fried okra salad from here, although we used mint instead of cilantro & it was still pretty excellent
Garlic mashed potatoes
&
grilled peaches, which was all juicy and sweet - kind of like homemade banana fitters without the grease & sweeter.

• we went for a loong walk, and played the Wi & then i worked out a tiny bit on WiFit, which was good because now i am slowly easing into the my workout schedule (when really i need to gallop into it)

& then we sat down for a marathon of lots of House (never in a trillion years would i have pegged Jeeves as doing a serious role & never would I have pegged that he would actually be kind of hot - i mean, who thinks of Jeeves or that daft Black Adder Prince as growing old to be hot)

& then stopped in between for another round of Wi

& lots of unbloggable inbetweens :)

and now we are in bed, and I am typing this out, while the boy is prepping for bed

it has been quite a nice, perfect, quiet kind of day. I think we needed it after the hectic runaround that was last weekend - what with going to St. Augustine & having the beach picnic with friends at this really nice secluded beach at Talbot park.

Sometimes i worry that we are not doing exciting enough things and then i catch the boy looking at me and smiling and we kiss and sigh & it's all good, even if the bed is too big & i thrash around too much for me to wake up in a hug.
