Sag played tennis with Max at 9am this morning. (An hour that normally finds us barely out of our night clothes.) The kid is enthused. I see tennis racquets in our future.
Gem and I went to the Farmer's Market. We picked up Dragon-y veg for me and meat for the rest of the family.
Sag swam at 11am. Gem sat out to rest his body (the cold has already peaked).
Dropped the kids off at Danielle's and went food shopping. And to Staples for more paper.
By the time I unloaded the groceries and put them away, it was time to fetch the kids. (I did get to sit for a bit with my friend and chat.)
We were home for about 15 minutes. Then it was up to campus to collect Cap and on to our comic book store. The owner really came through for us and hooked us up with two passes for New York Comic Con!
Once home, I put together the braised beef short ribs to bring to Queens tomorrow, and popped it into the oven.
Then, I sat for a bit. This was followed by checking in to my online stuff. Home school skiing/snowboarding! Nixed by Gem. Blogs blah, blah. Facebook blah, blah. More messages regarding a high school mini-reunion shaping up in NYC in a couple of weeks. Someone from my seventh grade homeroom (or, official class, as we called it in our school) is flying in from L.A. and instigated the whole thing. I'm looking forward to it. I'd like to get my 'hausfrau hair' cut before said get together.
Cap made dinner for the kids and himself, I made dinner for myself. He's giving me another reprieve from kid dinner making so I can give full attention to cutting out meat from my Dragon-y diet. I'm getting a week, which will help me on my way as I finish out four more weeks of Dragon's Way.
After dinner we explored the Comic Con website. Sag wants to go to the Adventure Time/Regular Show panel, Gem wants to go to the Sonic/Mega Man panel. Of course, they are at the same time. So we will split up.
There are children to coax to sleep early, laundry to be folded, calendars to sync, and a partner who I'd like to give some attention to. We have an early morning tomorrow. We'll be driving to Queens, depositing the short ribs and GFCF apple pie (Cap will be baking tonight) and then taking the subway to the convention center. They open at 10am and the panels start at 10:45.
Busy is the new I-don't-know-what. Not busy? I am starting to get the feeling that this busy-ness is connected to new energy/Qi. And that, in a way, I am not used to having this level of energy. I definitely had moments of feeling overwhelmed having my period start while Cap was away. But, generally, this is all good.
This is a pic of my Guild loot. When Cap was in Sacramento, he stayed with Erika and Jerry and Malachi. Jerry caught whiff of my Guild fandom on Facebook. Turns out he is friendly with someone involved with The Guild and he had this loot waiting for Cap to bring home. Lucky me :-) I mention it here now because a) I am backlogged in photos, and b) Felicia Day is at New York Comic Con and I may catch a glimpse of her. I will be wearing my Knights of Good t-shirt, geeking out.
Hope the weekend is bringing you some peace and love.
