Helping a Friend Move

Today's been a long day. I started out by making cappuccino and breakfast for myself and my lovely lady, and then I went off to teach some kids karate (I do that on Saturdays). After that, I ran home, wolfed down some melon, a glass of milk, and a lovely pb&j sandwich (fancy French fig j in there, yum!) and took off to meet up with my good friend to help him move, even though most of the moving happened while I was teaching karate. My wife had plans with my mom for the day, so all was well in the world as far as coordinating schedules went.

My friend has a heavy table, but we got it moved (that's all we had to move) anyway and did some catching up, which was good because we're a bit behind on it because our busy family situations have kept us both extra busy lately. Then I started to head home, starving and bent on going to the grocery store so I could start my new project tonight, which I still haven't gotten around to starting because I was too excited to talk to my lady about my day and hers for the whole time since I got home. I got a bunch of goodies at the store because we're running low and to save her the trip. You see, this time I called before I went instead of making the mistake where I went while she was out, came home all proud of myself with my surprise... to an empty house, and then found out that she had gone to run some errands, ending with a trip to the grocery store whereby we acquired, essentially, double groceries. Oops! It turns out to be a good thing that I called too because there was stuff we needed that I didn't know we needed and she was planning on heading there herself when she got done doing things with my mom (and so we probably would have repeated the "why didn't we call each other" story again). In any case, sending me to the grocery store hungry, alone, and hungry (I did that on purpose) usually costs us about a million dollars, which she feared, but I prevailed and was good and spent only a normal amount buying myself only one treat, which really took the edge off of the hunger.

After acquiring many beautiful groceries, I came home and put everything away and finally got to spend some time with my lady. We did some cleaning and folding laundry together and then sat down and chatted merrily about our days, which is how days like this should end up.
