Relaxing at home...
I'm sooooo relaxed right now.
Barry's off watching "Gladiator" with his guy friends from work -- he'll probably be home late. I was feeling a little sulky at first; all of my friends are either working or have other plans. So I got me a bottle of wine and a Toblerone, rented "Elizabeth," and now I'm quite content to be here on the couch, watching TV and writing. I have my cat curled up next to me, snoozing. I just came in from playing fetch with the dogs and talking to the landlord and our upstairs neighbor. It's warm out, and there's a soft breeze blowing in the windows. We're close enough to the ocean that you can just barely smell the sea air.
Tomorrow will be busy enough -- Smoke has a vet appointment, and I'll have to wrestle her into her carrier and take her on the bus. (I am a lax and awful cat owner. She hasn't been to the vet in over three years. Feel free to scold.)
So now I'm glad I have the evening to myself. I'm glad Barry's out having fun, and I'll be happy to see him when he gets home. But right now, it's so quiet, and I'm very, very relaxed.
