Today... is one of those gorgeous, gorgeous days we sometimes get in Fall out west; it's sunny and cloudy both with a strong, gusty wind and just warm enough that I can open all the windows for a few hours to let fresh air blow through. It'll be cold tonight-- it's supposed to get down to 33F, and considering last night's shivery temp I believe it-- but right now it's absolutely perfect.
Today I'm doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I DON'T WANT TO DO. I'm not paying bills, I'm not doing housework (a little maybe, but not now), I'm not gonna cook or worry about the state of my fridge or my car or my future. I'm going to slack off utterly, read a lot, knit (I'm working on my first Fair Isle project, a hat in a beautiful merino black/chocolate/cream blend with a pattern in denim blue), maybe cut out a furisode or Meiji-era over-robe for Sedona, write a little, watch some anime and generally be a complete house-slug. It's the last day of a 4-day-weekend, dammit, and I want to relax.
Not that I haven't loved the last three days, oh no! I've hung out most of the time with lil_1337 , her husband and offspring, and her visiting friend cailamaia , which has been marvelous; we've cooked and stuffed ourselves and tromped around Tubac, the San Xavier Mission, Madera Canyon and Mt. Lemon, watched many movies of the sharkey and octopussy variety (spiced with White Collar and the BBC Sherlock) and I've done my best to get cailamaia interested in Detective Conan (dunno if I succeeded, but I'll never pass up the opportunity to pimp the series. I've played Peanut Gallery during the writing of some tasty erotica (heee) and worked on a bit myself; I've talked to family back in Florida and generally just had a very good time.
But I've got work tomorrow; urgh. Not only that, but it's end-of-the-month work, and that means it'll be intense. So! Goofing-off Tiem, yez!
Heh; that was a lot of wordage to say I'm not doing much, wasn't it? Whatever.
Hanabi's settled in completely among her big brothers; the Littlest Weezul has been jumping on them and doing her best to bully them (totally futile, they're humongous next to her) and chasing after them like the kit she is. She's so wriggly! And so soft, and doesn't bite very hard when she plays; I'm so glad I chose her. In so very many ways she reminds me of my beautiful Rose, who I lost along with Sage in a burglary years ago-- same kinds of markings (though with a bit less white), same kind of attitude. Gods, I mourned those ferrets. Who knows, maybe Rose has come back to me. I do believe that happens; where should they go, but to the ones who'll love and welcome them? Ferrets are territorial.
I have a fridge full of leftovers and it's lunchtime, so I'm gonna drag my slacker ass into the kitchen for hot tea and leftover-turkey-sammich. I have the turkey-carcass in the fridge; next Thursday evening I'll cook it down with a bunch of veggies and barley into some sort of soup to take to CheeseCrack the following evening-- anybody out there got any good veggie-soup recipes they feel like sharing? ^__^
Have a good day, all.
Later edit: ...and now we have rain clouds? Really?? **kind of excited** Rain'd be nice! Even if it has dropped in temp quite a lot and I had to close the windows...
