Boushh: “Just relax for a moment. You’re free of the carbonite.”
Boushh: “Shhh. You have hibernation sickness.”
Han Solo: “I can’t see.”

Han Solo: “Where am I?”

Han Solo: “Leia!”
I think most people have hibernation sickness these days, or have recently had it from all the spring-related posts I’m seeing lately. The warm air, the buds on the trees, kids taking to their bikes again (be still, my beating heart), talk of farmer’s markets opening soon here in the Great Frozen Midwest. Ah, it does a weary brain good.
Padawan Learner and I made a trek out to the eye doctor’s yesterday. He, as usual, has perfect vision and just needed a check up. I got a pretty sizable up-tick in my prescription, so I ordered a new set of contact lenses and a new pair of lenses – because they were just a few days off from being older than the sun. These new ones will be my fourth pair of glasses in over 27 years of wearing the bothersome things. Not too bad. Wearing contacts most days has a nice way of extending the life of a pair of frames I guess.
It was nice to take the day off – driving there and back, eating out, haunting a bookstore, watching the orange construction cones popping up here, there and everywhere. Admittedly, I’m a fan of road construction sites in general (they pay my bills), but I’m especially glad to see them popping up around here this year. Michigan’s roads are in such sorry shape because there’s been just no funding for (long, long) over-due repairs for several years running.
We got back around dinner time and after a rousing meal of mac & cheese, I cleaned up the kitchen and then cozied up with another Nevada Barr
Last weekend, my neighbor and her sun had a “Minute to Win-It” party for the kids on the block, which looked to be great fun. They had kids from 2 to 14 participating in silly games – all to be completed in 60 seconds or less, of course – and even had the local news channel come out for a little “in the city” segment. I was busy cleaning the house for a weekend showing, but PL attended and represented the Jedi in fine style I am told.
What did you do yesterday or over the weekend?
Yesterday, argued with James a lot because it was the first day back after Spring Break. Sigh. There will be days like that, right?
The weekend, lunch with a friend and a birthday party. Much more pleasant.
We did end yesterday on an agreeable note, hopefully today will be better. If not, there’s always tomorrow – Sea World field trip.
It’s been busy here. Jake and I took a calendar and counted all the days until school/work is finished (52). I had a pro d day yesterday where I had to attend a workshop, and we’ve pretty much just been knee deep in homework, work, writing, cooking, etc.
I need a vacation. I really long, completely unplugged and away from the kitchen vacation.
We’ve been enjoying the (mostly) sunny weather. We have a to-do list a mile long, and hubby has been quite the task master! But as I generally get sidetracked by all of the other things on my to-do list, it’s a good thing
We’re in the same boat as Firefly Mom. Today for us was one of those “to-do” list days, too. But tonight, as I sit here looking around at all we’ve accomplished, and leisurely reading and commenting on blogs, I definitely say it was worth it! Glad you had a fine spring day, Obi-Mom!!
I had a man drill holes in my femur and tibia then rip out a hamstring tendon and thread it through.
I also ate a little pizza.
Best wishes to you all. I admire your courage to make such a life changing move.
I know I’m a week late, but this weekend we had a big birthday party for Baby Boy. I think I may have some usable photos, but I suck at the whole camera thing . . so maybe not.
Hope you are well!
We read our daily readings outsde, on a blanket, in the backyard. Right now, the bluebonnets are wickedly blooming, and enticing us to just be outside. Also right now, it’s not too hot in the afternoons for us all to enjoy the early evenings after I teach piano lessons.
My kiddo wants to go to the park to play. We want to go to the zoo and to the gardens this time of year, to be out in the green and the air.
