sunday morning

sundays are usually one of my favorite days of the week. i like the laid back attitude a sunday has, the way you can just know that the afternoon will be lazy, that you have to go back to work the next day so everything you do will be your last free moments of the week, unencumbered. or something like that. sundays remind me of drives after church, donuts and the newspaper spread around wall
papering the living room.

of course now this sunday i've got work to do, so it's going to be more of working sunday than a normal lazy one. *sigh* i think we're grilling today, which is no big deal except it means i have to go through the bottom drawers of the fridge and root out crap that's been there for a few weeks and has no doubt gone the way of icky. also means i need to forage for charcoal, too, and something to have with steak. i think i've got some taters somewhere... (;

last night for some reason it hit me again that quinn wouldn't be downstairs to cuddle when i was done in the den. i suddenly wanted to be able to pick her up and feel that softness and complete trust, smell her honey scented shoulders and count all the little pink paw pads. she was one of the things that kept me sane down here; shiva is an affectionate cat, but she's somewhat demanding, and as different as another cat could be. i'm not sure i want to get another cat right now either; it's expensive to get their shots up to date and then if we decide to move somewhere else that only takes one cat or something, it'll be a series of what-do-we-do-next. also shiva seems quite content to rule the roost on her own. which is fine; having her is kind of like having two cats, what with the hairballs. LOL

anyway, i've got to get myself in gear and attack this day--i have my weekly fundamentals of payroll read to attend to, and i promised myself i would go for a good walk today, a walk that involves the woods and that lovely forest smell. it rained last night, so the whole world is vibrant and damp, kind of like a sunday morning should be.
