i overslept this morning so i missed out on my quiet time.

i decided i could do FORM ( faith oriented rotational movement, a form of pilates while meditating on the 23 Psalm) at work since I will be teaching it as a class at TYI (annual youth conference).

i accidentally washed a t-shirt in hot water and it shrunk. and it was new.

our trash was full, so when i took the bag outside i realized that the humongous (sp?) trash can the county gives us had two feet of standing water in it from all of the rain. i then had to dump the trash can over, this was no small feat, to empty it of all its water before i could add the new trash bag. all this in heels trying not to damage my pedicure which is suffering from the suitcase i dropped on my two middle toes last night.

i forgot my umbrella and my lunch and its going to rain AGAIN today. i thought hurricanes weren't supposed to hit atlanta.

i just realized that the rain will most likely fill the trash can back up, except now it has trash in it.

but it was a good weekend, jason and i went to west palm to visit my grandmother. we corralled all of the cousins to come down as well. drove all night thursday, arrived in the wee hours of friday morning and spent all of friday and saturday and sunday morning with the fam. grandma's doing well. she told me she does okay until she gets home. and then it's just her... in that blasted condo.

saturday evening, aunt beverly and uncle fred were in town from miami and came over for dinner. so we got out the folding chairs and card table. all of a sudden i was ten years old and sitting at the kids table. after dinner i was trying to put everything away discreetly when i opened his closet. and there i was amongst grandpa's clothes and shoes and work shirts and an assortment of tools (he was a plumber). i tried to breathe in his smell, but could only smell the fresh paint of the condo, so i closed the sliding door.

and it's another day. breathe in, breathe out.
