Winding down

I was very productive today, against my better judgment. I woke up called my mom, picked up my check, shampooed the carpet, cleaned the house, used my new drill to hang the new spice racks, and went to buy lumber that I intend to use in the forthcoming days for the building of a dog mansion. Well, more like a doggie bungalow on stilts, keep out the critters, and the flash flooding, assuming the gods smile and it ever rains here again. All in all it was a good day. The best part had to be the ride home from the hardware store tonite. Jeremy got a new truck this week, hooray, which I promptly put to use, anyway, Sandra myself and the boy loaded up and headed out. We got the lumber and I rode in the back of the truck laying on top of the plywood. I can't remember the last time I rode in the back of a truck, but it was great. The wind swirling around me, flat on my back, moon, stars, street lights, tree tops, overpasses, billboards. I am convinced that the world is prettier at night looking up from the bed of a truck. I soaked in the twenty minute ride like it was a tub of steaming water, grinning from ear to ear the whole way. It really is the little things in life....
