I’ll bet if I look back, I won’t find many posts that were written on Saturday. Probably not a lot of posts written about Saturday, either. That’s because Saturdays are generally the busiest, heaviest scheduled day of my week. My Saturdays are committed to other people. The free time that I DO have is spent cleaning, doing laundry, and paying bills. Quite frankly, I’m not a fan of Saturdays. I put up with them the way they are because the crazy race to get everything done on Saturday pays off with (usually) a quiet, peaceful Sunday.

This morning I woke up before the VIM and sat down with a cup of coffee and the laptop at the dining room table. I tried to catch up on blog reading, but I found myself staring out the window instead. It’s truly a late-autumn day here today. The leaves are past their prime, but that incredible, unmistakable, earthy leafy smell more than makes up for it. It’s time to switch from visual to olfactory delights, and I’m ok with that.

The VIM is now awake and in the kitchen preparing breakfast. I love to hear him putter around. This is our Sunday routine – he cooks breakfast while I catch up online, then we eat while watching the Food Network. Then I’ll head back to my apartment to do web page stuff for few hours, and he’ll do the male bonding thing over the Steelers game.

Life?  It’s striking me well.
