Taking Life Easy

A lazy Saturday would be nice, but lately most of my days have been lazy anyways so today's change of running about is most welcome. (note: I won't actually be running about, rather being chauffeured from one place to the next)

The morning had us in Cloverdale. We gave up for adoption our bird to a new family. It was decided that with a baby on the way, the chirpy noisy fella would be best suited to a family better able to give him the attention he so deserves. I'm sad to see Foster go and was surprised to learn of Jason's decision to give him up. When he announced the idea to me the first time, I was shocked, and yesterdat afternoon he talked to the new soon-to-be owners and now he is all excited about giving the bird to them. We are no longer be bird owners, now we just have a cat.

Next we hit a children's swap meet. A place where parents go to rid themselves of the accumulated clutter of no longer needed (or fitting) kids stuff and where others can go and make inexpensive purchases. There are a number of things we need for this little guy and many of the items are things that need not be bought new. Items like a crib, car seats, things that go in the mouth will all be had new, but many of the other necessities can be second hand, especially given the short period of time the little guy will be making use of these gadgets and doodads anyways. We left with a nice bag of booty and some of the most adorable new born clothes imaginable. Made my heart swell.

Then we came home for a planned serious naked, in bed, under the covers type of afternoon nap. A solid couple of hours to refresh me, it felt amazing.

We watched Che part 1 the movie this afternoon curled up on the sofa together eating watermelon and boursin with crackers.

And this evening we have plans of the naughty variety. Yeah, we still can't have sex, but there are some other deviant things that we plan on getting up to together to quench my thirst for sexual intimacy at some level, plus some long missed friends that catching up with will make me feel good about.
