It's Later Now

and so, on to other things. I did a variety of things today, got a variety of things done. I still absolutely need to get into a good stretching and exercise routine, because I'm walking around like I'm 90.

One of my tasks today was to get a good pair of walking shoes. There's a New Balance store not far, so the Sibs and I went there. I looked at a few, and then the salesperson brought out these. They look kind of like Herman Munster shoes on my feet, but they're very stable, and I don't feel like I'm rolling from side to side when I walk in them.

Another task was the jeweler, finally. Is my grandmother's ring secure enough to wear every day? He says yes. Then I showed him the diamond circle on a chain that the Hubs gave me for our anniversary, and he said a) that the chain is perfect and very secure and I don't need a better one, and b) that the pendant is really nice and unusual and he hasn't seen one like it before. Wow. You should have seen the Hubs glow with pride when I told him. "So I done good?" he asked. Yes. It's good. To tell the truth, since he's never bought real jewelry before, I was a little afraid that he'd been taken, but it turns out not. So, good.

I FINALLY got some of the pictures from Wonderful Niece's wedding, which was only two years ago June. The only picture I had asked the photographer to take was one of my sister's three kids with my two, since we had taken so many different poses and pictures of the five of them over the years, and I finally have it. I felt a little bad about not asking Little K to be in the picture, too, since he's officially one of the cousins now, but I just wanted one final one of the group of five. I have, however, been asking my sister for a good picture of Little K to put on my piano with the zillions of other family pictures I have, since the last good shot I have of him was taken when he was 8, and there was one good one of him in the wedding shots, so I'll print that out tomorrow -- I need to buy ink cartridges -- and put it in a frame. Of course, he's 17 now, so a two-year old picture looks like someone else, but it'll have to do for now. I've asked her for one of his prom pictures and one of his senior pictures, but I don't think they have those yet, so I'll have to harass her some when they come in.

I have house things to do tomorrow and calls to make. I've set my alarm for 7.00 for three days since I only have a few weeks left before I have to wake up at *gasp* 5.30, and I'm working my way there gradually, but let me tell you, I am dragging through the days. I may let myself sleep a bit tomorrow; I know I won't go past 8.00, so I can afford a day off.

Off to read more Kavalier and Clay. Very well written.
