I had a really great day today. Got up with the whole day stretching out in front of me and no obligations, and decided to go to Duwamish for Jen & Matt's pancake breakfast. (Reminded me of Tom & Michele's pancake breakfasts on snow days when we first moved into Duwamish). Kevin & the kids were at the pancake breakfast, as was Nancy, Cherylann, Jen & Matt, so had some nice time with community folks. Jen was doing a candle making project in the kitchen, so I got to help her dip her winter candles and then make a couple of my own. then i wandered over to the old house and hung out with the kids & Kevin for bit. Some big kids had been mean to Sar, so after helping him process it, Kevin and I played Candy Land with him & then I went home for lunch. After lunch the kids came over (at my invitation) and I helped them create wishlists on Amazon.com. We then played on the computer and watched Return of the Jedi together, and Kevin brought over burritos when he picked up the kids and we all ate together. And instead of thinking "this is so nice; I wish we were still together" I thought "This is so nice" and I didn't wish we were together, I just felt hopeful about where we're all headed as separate households, but still as a family. After the kids left, I talked to Allen and then Andrew on the phone, and then played Bookworm, attaining Level 28 and getting my highest score ever.
It was a good day. A very good day. And I'm not dreading work so much tonight.
