Beautiful Day...

It was Spring-like here today. Cerulean skies, a slight breeze and noticeable warmth. Meeting a friend for lunch at my apartment, neither of us had any problem deciding that we needed a venue with outside seating. A well-known brunch spot with scenic views of storefronts, parking and the eight-lane road which fronts my condominium was settled on. Seated quickly, we both ordered breakfasts and sat undisturbed once we were finished for a good, old-fashioned chinwag.

Confirmed bookworms, we then ventured to the only remaining brick and mortar bookstore in my area of town and browsed for a bit. I brought home a small diary from the two dollar clearance bin and a mug which was also reduced. Our adventure led to us talking about two mutual friends neither of us had seen for awhile. Upon returning to my apartment, calls were made and one of them will join us for lunch on Thursday. It will be a nice get-together.

Tomorrow, Lukas has an insanely early appointment for a dental cleaning and whatever needs doing to his teeth. Another friend is transporting him. He will come home Tuesday afternoon. Until he emerges from the anesthesia, I will fret, or maybe just strum my guitar.

Update: It is Monday at 4:30 AM, and I am busily trying to distract a cat who cannot understand why breakfast is not being served. This may be a very long day...

Cheers.

Stormy Night...

It has been windy all day and though sunny and cool, with nightfall came rain and tornado watches. Damage has been reported now across my county and those to the north and south of me. A steady stream of water is hitting the gutter off my small porch with such force that I can hear it in my bedroom. Fortunately, there has been no loss of power or any flickering lights, at least not yet.

My normally placid feline has been in bed next to me and shows no indication of wanting his favorite chair or a stretch on the love seat in the front room. I'm grateful for his comfort and a warm bed.

Cheers!
