Last week was actually rather stressful, so I did the Girl Thing and rounded it off by getting a nice pink pedicure. Yes, pink. Rather a bit more pink than I'd planned, but the color was leftover from an impulse buy in San Diego (we were there for cousin M's excellent wedding). It's kind of a happy pink, so it'll do. Saturday I headed out with some girlfriends to visit another girlfriend who has moved to Merced. We had a fantastic day at their pool in the 90-100 degree weather. There was one moment when I was lying in the pool on a green floatie and thinking that I felt just about perfect. There's nothing like idleness, a little Vitamin D, and kahlua brownies to cheer up the soul. If I can get a chauffeur to drive me to/from Merced next time (~2.5 hours), it'll be perfect. Now where could I find one of those? Sweetie?
This past week was more relaxed, partly because my boss it out of town, and partly because my brain was fried. The main excitement Friday morning was the 4.2 earthquake, some 5 miles from our house. We're used to the occasional rumbler, but this one jolted us out of bed and really zapped us awake. Small earthquakes aren't usually that scary...unless you're right on top of them! We did learn a few good lessons, like the fact that my glasses were sent tumbling to the floor and I couldn't find them, not great if it were the Real Thing. But there's really no knowing what'll happen in the big one. I'll take all the 4.x earthquakes in the world, every day of the week, rather than anything bigger, thankyewverymuch.
We don't have too much lined up for this weekend (lunch with friends, dinner with Dads), and we're continuing to test out the "one weekend day free" hypothesis so I get a chance to recharge my batteries. So far, so good.
