what has thrilled me today
1. I woke up this morning at 445 to cart Deb and the Pattermooses to the aeropuerto so they could get to San Juan. I am living vicariously through them this week; I *so* could have made my living as a lifeguard and full-time beach bum in PR.
2. I came home at 600 and flopped on the couch and slept until 730, the latest I've slept in several weeks.
3. Delicious cantelope.
4. DEVONthink. I know that I've gushed here about Merlin at 43 folders before, but I really do love him for looking out for me. I was able to sift through 100 or so books' worth of notes this morning to dig out quotes.
5. The rain. The cool day has been perfect for sitting next to my window and sifting through notes.
6. My kids. This being their first "real" day off from school, they could have been monsters (especially with the rainy weather). But instead, J-baby slept until nearly 9 (no nap yesterday), Hannah made cookies and CLEANED UP after herself, and Jack wrote a book, which is the funniest thing ever. I can't even do it justice here, I'll have to scan it in or take pictures or something. Suffice it to say, the punchline involves a bird butt.
