'I know that the best thing that we can always do is enjoy life.'~Ecclesiastes 3:12
Heard oldest son get in the door at around 5:30am this morning, and I stayed in a sleep-free zone for another hour before getting up with the big dogs. Once I'm awake, I'm awake! The Pugs are still asleep in the chair, cozy beggars that they are. And, thankfully, I'm feeling good (no, not sick, but perennially sleep-deprived). Might need a morning nap, but all is well.
Got the taxes done yesterday (husband had provided the figures), and was pleasantly surprised. And, yes, having lots of kids and being self-employed does add up to a pleasant experience in a financial way come April 15th. To have them done early, though, is extra special.
Anyway, today is library day and the kids and I are looking forward to that. It tends to be a spur of the moment thing that we do, but to plan ahead and have it to anticipate for days in advance is fun. I have my list of books to get, namely a couple by Elizabeth Taylor (not the actress). She wrote 'Mrs. Palfry at the Claremont', which is a low-key movie with Joan Plowright. I'm reading Barbara Pym's 'A Few Green Leaves' now, and I'm thinking the Taylor's are a bit on the same level. I do love English novels, and am so addicted, I have to limit myself sometimes, but not often, mind you.
So, that's my day. An enjoyable one, I'm thinking. It's cold out, and breezy, so a pile of books this afternoon and a snuggle in bed to look forward to is just the ticket. No worries!
