I sat on my porch for at least an hour today. It was so nice. Nothing like a spring day and all the sounds and sights that go along with it. I felt like a voyeur, observing the birds. It's how I first saw my hummingbird last year. I had been disappointed that I didn't have any. It wasn't till I spent time sitting still on my porch that I saw my lone hummer. This year I hope to get more. My feeder is out before the migration date, which should be coming up. Emily came home from school while I was outside and commented on how the sounds of the birds wake her up every morning. I told her I was writing about how much I enjoy those same birds!

I had to go for a CT scan this morning for some abdominal pain I've been having. The procedure didn't take long. I plan on the results coming back negative. I'll try not to worry too much. I went to Panerra's afterwards with my laptop for breakfast and their free wireless. I had a bagel and coffee while doing some work. Well, not 'work' work. That was a first for me, and I really enjoyed it. I went to the mall afterwards and bought new sandals and got a pedicure. It was indulgent and fun. A day off without too much running around.
