"That Looks Good"
A lot of work this morning on a tough chapter which will end the world within "the letter." Thank goodness! Makenna is in a bad place right now and this is where I once thought I was a bit brutal. I'll leave it be and see what my 1st readers think of it.
I napped yesterday, took Orion to the park, did laundry, cleaned, looked at boxes of snacks left over from the retreat and had to make myself stop snacking, dang it! I read posts of what people had to say about the retreat and am still tingling from happiness over that fun weekend. Patrick managed a nap, too, but did spend time again with family to discuss the details of his father's memorial service. A late night for him.
Orion is so into the classic version of "War of the Worlds." We watched most of it last night before bed. There's that scene when the couple are in the farmhouse and she's frying up some eggs. The professor says, "That looks good." Orion wants eggs in the morning, fried up just the same way, so he can say, "That looks good."
Oh, here's some retreat tidbits: Rob, you tango! How very cool. Alex, thanks for the darling umbrella for Orion! Aimee, I've got a picture of you and Lisa really getting mouthfuls of taco! And it's not your birthday! Ivan, thanks for helping snack up those chicken wings! Syne, I loved our conversations and that's a lovely sock you knitted! Lenore, your disappearance was a mystery that bugged me! Susan--I'm really sorry your cool runes presentation was interrupted. Siona--don't forget to send me your revised story. Val--weird is never boring!
More to follow. I wished I'd kept a journal like Louise did. Smart girl!
It's actually 9:22 a.m. and the boys are still sleeping. Wow. Perhaps I can sneak in just a little more coffee and a little more quiet time before I need to make those War of the Worlds eggs so Orion can say, "That looks good."
