One Sad Kinkajou

…I don’t know why he’s sad

Weekend Update

Well, I didn’t go see Spider-man 3 like I’d hoped. Saturday was Summer Curryfest 2007, with our friend Sharon visiting us for the first time since she moved up to northern Washington back in August. Throw in a bit of gardening (during which I seem to have pulled the hell out of a muscle on my lower left abdominal area) into the mix and Saturday was a goner.

Today was gardening, shopping, taking Princess Daisy on a very long walk (about 2.5 miles), more gardening and some other chores. Result: too tired for the movies. We’ll shoot for Tuesday night.

I called my mom today and wished her a happy Mothers Day. She had just gotten a visit and gifts from my niece, Molly, and was awaiting my brother and his wife for a lunch date.

Mom had a doctor visit on Friday and, aside from a bit of arthritis (which she has had for at least the last 30 years) and a touch of high blood pressure, she’s in great shape for a woman a couple of weeks shy of turning 79 years old.

I bought Grace a cd and promised her a nice dinner out once the dreaded Final Exam Monster has gone away (next week).

And now, I’m off to play a bit of Civ III and thence to bed.
