happy day :)

Today has been happy. Here's why. :)

• Yummy homemade meatloaf for lunch. (I didn't say that today had been a good day for my diet. Which I really need to work on, I have basically just gone back to eating the way I used to eat, over the course of the last few days. Anyone notice the irony that this started happening the very day after I was going on and on in my diary about how easy it was to eat less?)
  
• Pleasant and productive shopping trip -- we needed a few wintery clothes and today was a perfect day to go to the valley and buy them.
  
• Rain!
  
• That splendid post-rain smell.
  
• Rain!
  
• A nice snapping fire in the woodstove
  
• T called and said that it's also raining where he is, which will help hugely with the effort to get the fire out and GET HIM HOME. hurrah!
  
• Rain!
  
• My plans for the rest of the evening: Put LT to bed (C fell asleep on the way home in the car), shut down the computer, put on some nice relaxing music, and snuggle on the couch near the fire with a blanket and a good book. I forgot to buy Pickwick Papers today, but I have plenty of wonderful rainy-day books on my shelf. I'm not going to start Jane Eyre because the weather is supposed to clear up tomorrow, and then I'll be left reading it on crisp sunny days, and a reading of Jane Eyre needs gray, wet days throughout to be fully satisfactory. Maybe David Copperfield.
  
• Did I mention rain?
