Okay, I truly am not a summer sun person because I really, really don’t like being hot. This “summer” has been so horribly rainy with just enough humidity in the air to make it mostly yucky, but with temps that don’t go beyond like maybe 75 on a “hot” day. So today, I’m actually relishing in the sun and warmth. I never thought I was one of those folks effected by daylight, but today I even feel better as well has feeling like I have a little pep to my emotional state.
I took a little mini-drive this morning with the sunroof open, came home and even energetically put the final coat of paint on the baby’s dresser/changing table. The dresser is basking in the sun drying right now. This is be a happy surprise for Dave when he gets home. He doesn’t like painting. And as willing as he is to do things for me to make me happy and keep me from getting too pooped these days, I know he’ll be thankful he doesn’t have to tend to that last coat of paint.
I’ve noticed something new with both of my cats. Bailey spends almost all his day either in the same room, next to me or sitting on me. But lately, he has been REALLY attentive and needs picking up all the time. Riley even has started sitting on my lap. He is not normally a lap cat. He’s a walk by for a petting, briefly sit near you for additional petting and then move along to sit elsewhere and sleep type of cat. Lately, if I sit in Dave’s chair in the living room I will frequently find myself with Bailey draping himself across my belly and Riley sitting along side me. Dave and I can’t figure out if the cats know “something” is amiss with me or if this is just a new needy phase they both entered at the same time. It sure will be interesting to see these two guys with the baby.
Well, the sun is still shining (a new 4 hour record!!!) and I am still feeling pretty good so I’m going to go clean my living room and hopefully dining room before my body aches too badly to move.
