time flies
when you have a 2 year old granddaughter for the weekend. holy cow, it's a good thing that parenting is for the young. she's got so much energy i find myself trying to store up mine before i get her. i wouldn't miss one of those precious moments for the world.
saturday at church, we are singing a particularly moving hymn when little victoria sees a friend of ours tear up with emotion at the song. she stares at him for the longest time, then says to me, "nana, him crying." i didn't turn around, but looked in her big, brown eyes and said, "he needs a hug." she looks back at him for a long moment, then turns back and says "he needs a nap."
ha!
i guess we tell her that when she starts to cry. they can sure hold a mirror up to you when you least expect it.
so we had victoria friday and saturday night. we had to return her early (5 a.m.) on sunday so we could still make feeding the homeless on time. boy, that was ugly. note to self: avoid awaking a 2 year old at all costs!
after feeding the homeless and rushing home to take my nap, we stopped by the kid's house to pickup jr.'s sv650 so we could get it ready to sell. the battery had run down due to lack of riding it so we jumped it. by the time that was done, both christopher and victoria had loaded themselves into the car so they could go swimming and spend some more time with us.
so swimming we did. i must say the water is getting pretty cool these days and i'm afraid my pool days are rapidly disappearing.
monday was spent repairing the damage done to my house. toys were strewn and signs of little handprints were aplenty. when i looked down at the dust on my treadmill (no comments please) i noticed a tiny little footprint in it. it brought an immediate smile to my face.
and speaking of treadmills. . .i did my first 15 minutes yesterday and felt great! the surgeon had said to wait on it, but i've been feeling so good, i did it anyway. i kept it on the slowest speed but i didn't have any problems.
i'm sure it will be at least a few more months before i'm cleared for any kind of riding, but i'm looking forward to that clearance!!! should be starting my physical therapy next week!
and that's it in a nutshell.
