Why Do I Kid Myself?
As usual, Friday the 13th has lived up to it's bad reputation.
I don't even know why I bother. *sigh*
And it wouldn't even be so bad if it wasn't all the same people all the time. You know, the ones that get to travel all over God's green earth in the first place?
I'm sorry. I'm bitter and a little bit sad. I was hoping...just this once...that my luck could change.
Wrong day to wish for that.

Good Stars Surround Us
There were just so many good things today, so many things that make my entire body, mind, and spirit happy. Things that may be meaningless to others, but mean SO much to me.
First, there was a sense of accomplishment in getting my NAT status problems solved. I've been working on it for a month and a half now and seeing it resolve is extremely gratifying. It gave me this huge sense of accomplishment....a kind of superiority if you will. Not over anything living, just over my computer. It's good to look down on technology now and again.
There was also the CD...yes, THAT CD, the one that has been nagging me for a month now. After today, I'm just convinced that it was the context and the screwy song order, because once I blasted it today while I was in the kitchen, the whole damn thing just made sense, from beginning to end. Every song sounded perfect (except one. It's a real slow grower) and now I just want to listen to it over and over again.
A ticket offer from a friend. Looks and feels very promising and is uber exciting.
Brushed the dog to within an inch of his life, felt good enough to buy the kids a little toy each at the store, which made them happy and all lovey towards Mommy, which is always a good thing, cleaned the house, made nice with the hubby, bought some clothes, started getting ready for vacation (one more week! woot!) and thanks to my brother and his killer pool, I have a tan to die for already.
It's not often I have all around perfect days. But today was damn close.

Gathering Reams of Space and Time
My cousin and his wife and kids are visiting from Florida.
It's funny, but as soon as my brother and I get together with this certain cousin, we all turn into 12 year old kids, goofing around and feeling giddy and quoting a lot of old "had to be there" kind of jokes. My cousin is, by far, just one of the funniest people on the face of the Earth, but he's one of those blessed people that doesn't TRY to be funny. He just is.
Anyway, he's all grown up now like us, has a couple of kids that MY kids just adore. His daughter is seven and his son is four.....just like my two (only opposite). So, they're all getting along swimmingly, which is nice to see.
This cousin and his brother, and my brother and I all grew up together in the good old days. We lived right next door to each other, and spent every day together. Playing, riding bikes, catching frogs and turtles....summer was the best. There were long, hot days spent exploring. Sprinklers to run through. Fireflies to catch. Trees to climb. Even after they moved to Florida we stayed close. There were frequent visits and they were always here for Christmas and New Years, so it wasn't like we grew apart. It was just the opposite actually. The four of us were as close as could be. My other cousin is the same age as me, only a few months older, which is something he's always held over my head in good humor. I talk to him on the phone now and then, as he doesn't get to visit (health problems) and when we do, it's like he's sitting here in the room with me. Good stuff, that.
So, they'll be here for two weeks, in which time we have lots of fun things planned. It's good that all the kids are off from school now, so there's no pressure of having to be home for the bus and all that jazz. Just carefree summer days. I love this time of year anyway, but having them here is a bonus. Now, we'll kick back and watch our kids climb the trees, and catch the fireflies and frogs.
Hopefully, it's something that will bond them for life, just like it did us.
