Gently Rocking Myself in Peace

I started out the day in kind of a furor, but right now I feel very much at peace and kind of zen-like, and while I am not gloriously happy, there is sort of a gentle calm around here that is keeping the world at bay.

Crash is sitting here reading for a few minutes in between school and teaching before he goes to book club tonight, and the kitties and dog are all softly shnuffling and asleep - including Boots who is warming my neck and purring quietly.

I've gotten a lot done today even though I was able to sleep in - the HVAC folks couldn't work in the pouring rain today, so I got a morning reprieve - and I went to a lovely lunch with friends of mine... but still, it was a lot of zoom zoom zoom there for a while...

Now? I am going to take a short nap when Crash leaves, then work my way into the homework I have sitting here in a nice neat pile. It shouldn't be too bad... but while I am feeling zen is probably a good time to look at it; when I am wound up is not.

It'll be nice to curl in with the kitties, though. They have the right idea about all that right now.
