nixtress's Diaryland Diary

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ponderances.

How strange it was to go even just a day or two without reading the updates or even posting. It's odd to realize just how much Dland has been integrated into my computer doings. It's a rhythm for me. Log in, check diaries, then do whatever it was I'd intended to do in the first place.
And strange, too, that even without meeting some of my favorites physically, I feel like I've missed something if I can't read their updates. Sort of like..living next door and watching someone else's life go by, maybe. Not really a part of it, but fascinated none the less.
Keeping this diary is more than just an exercise in documenting the daily ins and outs of our life here. It's an extension of my thoughts, a way to work out some of the things floating 'round in my head, a reminder that I need sometimes to keep things in check and also a way to put down somewhere the events that shape my sons and myself. Maybe it's sad that I missed my diary as much as I did, maybe that's an indication I need to get out more (heh) or maybe it's just a measure of a place I consider an outlet and mine without concession to the ick that gets tossed my way.

Spring has sprung. I say this knowing it'll probably jinx us Ohioans in a big way but it had to be said. Today was a glorious 50 degrees, slightly overcast but beautiful. Even towards late afternoon, when the drizzling began, it was lovely. Trees besides my lilacs are budding up and the grass is getting ready to pop. Birds are everywhere and the fat little squirrels are working off their Winter asses. We took Gracie with us when we went to pay the rest of the car payment today and she spent the entire ride with her head out the window, sucking in wind and making sounds like Babe the Pig. Cracked me up.
The boys spent an extended amount of time in the backyard, tossing around a frisbee and playing a mutated version of baseball. It got a little better when J came over but was still a hoot to watch. They created ghost runners and somehow kept some sort of score.
I'm off tomorrow and planning on starting some of the cleaning that's needed here. Going to start with the bathroom and run with it.
Happy Saturday, Dlanders. Hopefully you're getting some of this sunshine somewhere in your life too.
