goings-on: What a week

What a life.
Is it nearly Thursday already as I write this? Goodbye, week. I am working the next 3 days, midshifts, which I generally like, but they also eat at the day. I've been losing track of time. It seems to have slipped through my fingers as I was preoccupied with thoughts of time...that's the dangerous irony.

So much happening right now...well, for Nathan. I am restless, yet tired, as I think of him powering through these last several days. I suppose this feeling is empathy and also dependence. What I'll try to extract is a reminder, to pave a path alongside his as he works so hard to make his way. I remember those final weeks finishing projects, working around the clock, and reaching a threshold of exhaustion. Nathan came home with a sniffle, and I panicked a little....No, not now! One more week! But a cold waits for no one and no finals. Soup making goes on my schedule tomorrow.

What else is new? My friend got the apartment she wants, and it's been fun to help her in the rehoming process. On Monday 4 of us ladies piled in the van and went to Home Depot--hilarity and confusion, let me tell ya. And then painting. Lots of painting, and boy, does it make a difference. I need to remember color in my life (note to self). Otherwise, I finally finished my giveaway project and got it into the mail...a consuming project I hadn't quite anticipated. I hope the recipient is pleased. These activities have replaced laundry and cooking square meals lately, so that needs to be reintroduced asap. For our health and our wallets. I'll give it a few more days before sharing my project...ok, fine, here's a teaser photo, but don't ask me what it is! I'm not telling yet.

So, finally, here are a couple new pics from our beautiful Sunday afternoon. N and I haven't been able to spend much time together in the recent chaos, but a perfect Northwest day beckoned us to the dog park. And to Spud's for the best fish and chips...I had to get a photo to promote this meal to legendary status.
