Left work early. Changed into comfy clothes. Walked Ted amid leaves blustering all around. Emptied the dishwasher, set the table, set out things to cook dinner. Remembered that the TV ban is not in effect until both of us are home, so watched Designed to Sell. Slid from sitting up to lying down without noticing. Snuggled with Ted for as long as he would tolerate it. Got a call from JG that he was leaving his class. Took Ted out. Made dinner and finally got the timing for all of the components right. Kissed JG when he got home. Chatted while he washed the dishes and I made salads. Ate dinner. Discussed the election. Became sentimental at the realization that the CD JG put in was by a group from our honeymoon. Cleaned up from the meal. Nestled into the couch. Sports Illustrated for him; Slanket and a new book for me. After a few chapters, dozed off. Woke up to the sight of JG asleep with Ted on his chest. Agreed with JG’s suggestion to head to bed. Turned off the lights, refilled Ted’s food dish. Didn’t write in my journal or read another page. Slept like a baby.

I need a day/night like this.
Maybe one day!
I went to bed at 10 last night and it was heaven.
That sounds like a great evening, particularly the part where all of the dinner components came out at the same time. I still have a hard time with that.
I can’t wait for the day when I don’t have an Ikea couch. Maybe then I can fall asleep on it with a blanket and a book!
Ahhh….that sounds like one perfect evening.
