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 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
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!
