What a day! Scattered. Emily was very sick when she got up. I had to call the doctor. Unbearable stomach pain, clammy, etc... I helped her as best I could, and spent a bunch of time sitting on her floor, telling her stories about when she was little. She loves hearing stories about herself. Finally she fell asleep, and when she woke she was fine. And yes, it is that time of month. I didn't spend the day cleaning after all. I cleaned off the dining room table, finally. And the counters. I cut the heat control window film I bought to fit the two halves of my storm door by the deck. The sun streams through that window. Anyway, Em and I decided to go to the pool. How's that for an escape? I grew up with a community pool, and I've always lived in an area that had a pool. My community has two, and it's included in my homeowner's fee. After the pool, I made a shrimp dinner and then vacuumed the downstairs and mopped the hardwood floors. My least favorite job. Emily did half of it, which was a big help. What I didn't do today was read blogs. Sorry. I also didn't iron the stack of capri's waiting in my closet. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day. I'll at least iron tomorrow's clothes tomorrow.

My neighbor called me to ask if I saw the rainbow outside. Out we went.

Aren't rainbows amazing?

Yup, that's Em out there

The view from my deck

And while I was out I took a few garden pics. This is the one that runs along the right side of my driveway

I love my yarrow


And that's it for today. Time to read my Wired magazine in bed. Till the next time....
