#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

No fires in the neighborhood today, thank goodness. Frank and I are sore and tired from our interesting, busy weekend. Wave and I have dipping eggs together before he leaves for school, and he says I make the most delicious eggs. I have volunteered to drive him today. I am not going to swim, after all, I am going to take a short walk with Charlie. I have lots of housework, food shopping and cleaning of clutter that I use my energy on; plus, a 2 and a half-hour poetry workshop in morning, and one again in the evening. All stimulating and satisfying. Even so, the getting of groceries to fill the house and the clearing out of the fridge and straightening the cupboards, this is very satisfying as well. Having the house in order and having food to feed everyone. Frank and I eat at a casual dinner of leftovers, though, in a quiet house. No energy left to cook. Tomorrow, back to my swim and I have projects and groups to plan. Oh, and the outdoor shower, which seems to break each winter, has been fixed! Let summer begin!
