éamon and i went for a walk to wallack's today. i wanted to see if they had any of those hand print moulds. they do, but i think i'll take a look at a few other stores, i wasn't 100% on the kind they had. anyways, after that errand, i wasn't quite ready to come home again, so i walked further down princess, and on the way back stopped in skeleton park. i sat on a bench while éamon slept peacefully. i just sat. after a while, i was struck by the realization that for perhaps the first time in my life (or at least the first time in my adult-life) i felt fully present. my mind seemed almost empty compared to normal. i just sat there peacefully without feeling rushed or being pre-occupied with plans, places or people. it was nice. i kind of hope this will become normal for me.
this afternoon i rearranged the couch in the den. i don't think brendan will like it, i'm not sure if i like it myself. it's got me thinking though about REALLY changing things up in here. not just moving the couch. it's an exciting thought, i find it very satisfying to improve the use of space in a room, and the den is probably the only room i didn't modify in preparation for having a baby.
i've read before that you can use a walnut to repair scratches in wood (floors or furniture). i just gave it a try and it worked perfectly! i bet b won't even notice the scratch, which is good because he's a bit anal about scratches on the floor. is there a nicer word for that than "anal"? i just mean that he's a little obsessed :p
we live our life for the ride.
