Oh what a night
Yesterday was sublime. I ate an amazing cheddar burger for lunch and after work I discovered that my family had set up my hammock in our backyard. A. had bought this for me for Father's Day last summer but we did not have a stand for it. (We don't have two trees in our backyard to set it up traditionally.
So I of course went right to the hammock and N. joined me and lay on me, she was so happy and so was I, it was great because while we were there I was thinking to myself, this is really really peaceful and a good moment. Seriously, it was one of those moments you wish you could freeze and keep forever.
J. did not come outside because she is still feeling so sick, she has a fever and her temperature was as high as 101 on Wednesday, she is so cute just laying on the couch all propped up with pillows and enveloped in blankets. I am really hoping she gets better and fast or tomorrow for the race I might have my Mom stay at home with them rather than have them all go and watch me.
Then I cleaned the bathrooms and then got ready to go out for the dining for life, which was good for many reasons. Got to see some people I had not seen in quite a while and meet another I had heard much about over the years. We had duck potstickers and sea scallops for appetizers and I had salmon for my main course.
The big news was that some friends, R. and P., are registering to run the Chicago Marathon and are doing so via the Chicago AIDS Foundation, which is what I did in 2003. Running is a powerful thing and I am curious to see how it will affect both of them.
I still want to run the Marathon in October as well but have a problem finding a babysitter for the twins.
