Today time moved in an odd and unpredictable way. I got up, played with the kitty, exercised, had breakfast, checked e-mail, and had devotions all before 9:00. I wondered how time had slowed, giving me the opportunity to get so much done.
Then I went to the restaurant to work on my interior design project. All of a sudden, time slipped through my fingers. Nothing went right. I waited and waited for a young man to get the wood I needed. Then I didn't really have the right tools for the job. I hand cut all the wood with a pipe saw that wouldn't cut straight. I kept hitting snag after snag, and made little progress. By the end of the day I had only two very amateur looking 2.5 meter chair rails nailed and glued together to show for my long, sweaty day. That and a cut pinky finger and gluey hands. Oh for a table saw, cured timber, and a power sander!
I also used my body in ways it had forgotten all about. I haven't worked on a physical project like that in years. I'm going to feel it in the morning. I need to do it more often.
My Mr., on the other hand was home all day with the kitty. I came home for lunch to find him typing on his computer, with her sitting next to him on the desk, leaning on his arm. He says he didn't cuddle back, but she seems pretty uninterested in cuddling tonight. I think some exchange of affection took place, whether he admits it or not! ;-)
