It seems that most weekends lately have involved being on the road, going from here to there. This weekend, the only here to there has been home to Airbnb across the street to clean, or home to the grocery store.

This particular Saturday has been filled with

• exercise,
• stripping the bed and making a bed with fresh sheets,
• getting both Airbnb’s ready for guests,
• cooking and cleaning up the kitchen,
• grilling a large “chunk of pork” thanks to Keith’s tutorial several weeks ago,
• organizing a game cabinet,
• laundry and folding good smelling laundry,
• making a grocery list and then putting all the groceries away after a trip to the store,
• teaching son the correct way to iron a dress shirt and dress pants,
• and entertaining cats.

I probably should be cleaning bathrooms. I probably will clean bathrooms. But Sam isn’t having a good afternoon and is trying to sleep away the chemo yuck, so I am sitting watch and trying to ignore the Big XII basketball games on the tv. The fireplace needs a couple of logs. The cats have decided they are worn out from too much catnip chemo and are napping.

These are the moments to cherish and be grateful.
