monday monologue

Summer Half Day Fridays are back
 I'll be taking the whole day off 
beginning June 24 through Labor Day  
Yes 
I will be miserable 
when I have to go back to working five days 
sigh.  

This Friday I left to meet ToonMan at his new cardiologist.  
Good news two meds have been discontinued
he's going to Cardio Rehab in a few weeks 
it will be like summer camp for him and his heart
 ... 3 days a week ... 
he's an excellent patient 
in contrast
 to his former self 
his pre-infection self 
Now when I nag 
he listens  
Sort of 

Anyway  
When we got back 
I decided it was cool enough out to wash the windows. 
I do this once a year 
I know
I am a sloth when it comes to housework  
I do it so when the AC is in the front window
 the place gets some light 
now with the morning glories ready to vine 
(I just coined phrase to vine™
I need clean windows 
 Done!

Saturday 
I beautified™
 did some errands before meeting ToonMan for a short walk
nothing exciting 
just a short trip to the market and back 
Then we relaxed before SILESQ 
(ToonMan's nickname for his lawyer sister-in-law, my sister) 
came by to get her birthday gift  
We got her an iPad2   
I showed her some short cuts and how-to's on mine 

We went to 5 Napkin Burger 
(her choice, she had the most amazingly fabulous veggie burger
for her birthday dinner  
We all ate way too much 
skipped dessert 
tho when we got home 
ToonMan had some ice cream

Sunday 
I did my weekly devotional mani/pedi at Polished 
I went cup hunting 
my beloved mug cracked
its now in recycling
not rehab, silly. 

A new one is still being looked for
the one I got at BasicsPlus 
seemed like a good one 
but its too thick/heavy
I will continue to look  
The perfect mug is out there
I know it  

Then we took our weekly wander  
This time we headed uptown 
through Riverside Park 
past the People's Gardens aka Community Gardens
I stopped to snap this shot for CBW 
to show her how those vines have 
taken over the lamp post 
taken in 
early May


Now looks like this


We walked 
where no Edelstein 
had walked before
 .. at least neither of us .. 
those pix will be shared later in the week.

And because I know you are all eagerly anticipating new shots of the morning glories here they are



Can you see 
the delicate twine 
ToonMan uses to train the glories 
to vine™?


Look at them go!
