Yesterday, after the JDRF walk, I found myself at home wanted to just relax and enjoy the little free time I had. Alexis and I attempted to have a video conference, but it wasn't happening. It turns out, too, that the major point of contention is the name -- we don't have one. This baby needs a name! And we don't have one for it.
After she left the conversation, I started watching movies. I saw, for the first time, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." I had never seen this film before and I loved it. Just loved it.
However, it gave me some minor nightmares; I kept dreaming that donnie was disappearing.

Today was a good day. We slept in, though through most of the sleeping-in part, I was being taunted by Ivan, who hates to let me sleep because he wants love and food. He insists on putting his little kitty claws directly into my face, too. Not that great.
So we got up, fed the cats, and went to breakfast; we ate fast. We came home. We relaxed. I was thankful, because I really felt like I needed some rest this weekend, and between yesterday and today's plans, I wasn't sure I would get any. But I did, and I feel better for it.
I ran some errands, and then came back. MB came by, and we got into my car and drove to Arlington to the NEWS reading at the Regent Theatre. If you need more information about the NEWS, visit http://newsreadings.wordpress.com/.
We arrived and heard three talented writers read their works; it was fantastic. It is really wonderful to be able to engage with people who, like you, write, which is an isolationist sport, in truth. It's nice to see the other players in your area from time to time.
The event was sponsored by these two nice women, Jan and Erin, who got an excellent space and I'm sure have met some excellent writers. So kudos to them for creating community for the otherwise solitary.
I'll be attending more readings. You should go too.
