r.p. is back in commission! After she'd suffered through a week of that same yucky sickness I had a while back (a cold + insatiable need for snooze), r.p. was up to a morning run. We were very slow, but it was to be expected. For some reason it was hard for me too, even though I ran much further and faster during my solo runs while she was down. Its was likely due to lack of continuity. Anyway, I'm thankful for getting back at it.
Tomorrow is p.j.'s birthday. The big 39! He is starting off by meeting a friend for some mountain biking. He has been biking faithfully for almost a week now; I know it makes him feel excellent to be doing so, and I am very happy for him. I will be up before him, running with r.p., then I will get ready for the day and go to a new book club my bossy big sister (b.b.s)(not blood-related) is starting. We'll be reading The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis, but tomorrow is just the meet and greet. Afterward, b.b.s. and I will do a little window shopping (shoes!) until p.j. is home from his ride and ready for the next thing. I'm not sure what the next thing is, but eventually his dad will be taking us to dinner. Ah, and his mom is taking us to dinner tonight. Free food and great company; I will heartily celebrate p.j.'s birthday! Meanwhile, a.h. will be coming back tonight to spend another week with us, which is perfect timing for his involvement in the birthday festivities.
Have a wonderful weekend!
