even keel

things have settled down lately, and i'm thankful for the lull.

a small, steady stream of work is flowing, and that has helped keep me (not too) busy.

the noticable change in greta, no longer quite the pup she was, is nice, too. we take long walks, weather and knee pain (mine) permitting, and although she is very bonded to me, she manages to sleep on the couch for hours while i "work" (surf the net, watch tv & movies, etc.).

mike has also improved (i do believe the meltdown a while ago was an anomoly, but if not, we will be headed for therapy, believe you me).

no more stress about money (no, we're not making any more than before, but the pressure is off to make! make! make! more! more! more!). in fact, he's swung in the other direction, and since we have a cushion in our bank account right now, he wants to spend! spend! spend!

i just shake my head...

i stopped here this morning after a hot drink with storygoil here, and there are three perfect little cupcakes waiting to be gobbled up later--vanilla/vanilla, red velvet and carrot. two of them are for mike--maybe.
