day thirteen: a nice day

First of all, I loved reading your comments on yesterday's story. Wait until you see next week's. I just picked it out yesterday, and it's hilarious. Like, "I laughed until I snorted" hilarious.

It's been a nice day. The weather has been a little weird -- it's mild but really blustery and cloudy, with the kind of wind that rips all the remaining leaves off the trees. I've been tied to the house all weekend because our cable box quit working, and the cable company was coming to replace it "maybe Saturday, but more likely on Sunday. It just depends." They ended up showing up today at a little after noon, and it was incredibly entertaining to listen to the cable guy narrate his every move for Andrew: "What are you doing? I don't know why you're doing that."

That was the most excitement we've had today, though. We've been doing a lot of relaxing. Will is sick ('tis breathing treatment season again; he's already had four of them this fall, and two in the last 24 hours), so there's been lots of cuddling. Since he's so vocal now, he's able to communicate to me very clearly what he needs: "I need a wipe nose. I wanna water. Nap now, yeah?" He's pathetic and adorable.

Right now Will's napping and Andrew's watching an animated Batman movie with Joe, so I'm enjoying a little bit of free time. I don't have much to write about today, really, but the truth is I enjoy days like this: peaceful, normal, uneventful ones.
