breath

• breath.
• david being able to breathe and being back to his usual obnoxious (if not sweet) self. glad that he's grumpy and not dead. glad that he'll be finished being grumpy when he goes back to work tomorrow. that he's grumpy just because he's bored.
• ricky working on the porch all day and that except for the door, it's all closed in and i can start sheetrocking it! yay!
• that my fever broke last night and today i have energy and feel a million percent better than yesterday.
• the farmer's market that inspired good food last night and tonight in my kitchen cooked by me this time! fresh greenbeans, new potatoes, sweet corn, cabbage. yum.
• the idea of squash blossoms at the farmer's market - 9 blossoms for $9! i have nothing but blossoms in my garden. what to do with them? the research is fun but the best sounds to be stuff 'em with crab and fry 'em up! ok!
• our garden giving us lots and lots of squash and zucchini and soon cucumbers and tomatoes.
• david being well so that we can fry some green tomatoes on tuesday.
• adrienne and daniel and the babies being in town for the week so we can visit and catch up. they live too far away.
• an optimistic week at work with new plans and the firm thought that we can slow down a little - stress need not rule us anymore. we can breathe. or even stop and eat lunch. away from my desk. not talking on the phone. at a restaurant or at my house. away from my desk. did i repeat myself? i'll do it again. away from my desk! yay!
• michelle's adventure starting next week. holy cow.
• craig. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . enough said.
• chandler's cousin, leigh, graduating valedictorian from high school and being an example of what a good kid is - not for her grades - for being leigh.
• her older brother, adam, wanting to protect her from everything.
• chandler's safe return with elizabeth and mama b from their quick trip to knoxville for the graduation.
• ricky's safety after being plowed into at 55 mph while he was stopped yesterday. his sense of humor in tact and his talent secure - he showed up for work this morning.
• pop's training in south dakota for his new job this week. the wish that he loves it more than he ever thought he could.
• mr dority always always always saving the day and saving us money. i can't even think of how much he's saved us. . . . . . or how many times.
• dave and derron catching mahi today with calm seas.
• david not letting himself go offshore although that's what he wanted more than anything.
• melinda.
• a nice day with my mom. lunch and shopping. tasting the gelato at costco that was just like italy. . . and leaving it in the freezer case!
• a size smaller top and 2 sizes smaller dress. . . haven't figured that out as my weight is the same as it's been for a year - but hey - i'll go with it!
• david.
• you, little squash blossom, you.
