Today was Saturday. A day where usually I look forward to spending lots of time with Tyler doing weekendy things. But, it wasn't as perfect as I had wanted it to be.
Kitten was being a little terror this morning, racing around, scratching on our bed, trying to get our attention. We just ignored her because it's the weekend. Whatever was bugging her could wait until we got out of bed.
Tyler got out of bed at 9 and headed out to work. In a way, it felt like every other day of the week. The rain was pelting the window and the wind was howling so I knew that there were no walks in our future. We haven't gone on a walk in a long time and I'm starting to miss them. Kitten was still racing around and starting to bug me because I was getting ready to sleep some more. I got up and found that her food dish was empty. I shook my head because I'm not sure why Tyler doesn't fill her dish for her. I asked him about it when he got home and he said that she still had a few pieces of food in there and he gave me a smile that said, "I'm too cute to get mad at". Of course it's really no big deal so we exchanged hugs and good morning kisses. He also showed me his war wounds. He had mud all up his one leg and arm. He said that he slipped while he was walking home and slid all the way down the small hill outside our apartment. He wasn't hurt so it was okay to laugh with him. It's usually always funny when someone falls over and lands in a puddle of mud.
And then Tyler went on studying. That was why today felt like every other day, because Tyler and I didn't really spend too much time together. I was expecting it today so I wasn't too upset with it. I understand what he needs to do so I stayed in the living room while he read his books in the bedroom. I did the dishes and laundry and settled into my cross stitching position. I am just outlining the project now so I'm oh so close to being done. I could have gotten this thing done yesterday but since I have limited projects to work on in the next month, I want to make everything last as long as possible.
I looked outside and saw that the spit was completely submerged in water. It was so crazy because it's the highest we have ever seen, and I'm sure we already said that, but this times true. We decided to head out and take pictures. We got on our puddle boots and rain coats and headed out into the strong wind. Whenever I wear puddle boots I always feel like I'm under 10 years old again. It's nice not having wet socks like I usually get when I go outside. So we make it down to the spit and the tide is so high that the water is almost coming over the spit at the closest point by the beach. It was pretty insane to see it that high. Also, we almost got blown away several times. We took a bunch of pictures but our internet isn't working well enough these days to put any up tonight.
We decided that since we were already soaking wet, we would head to the store for our groceries. I would hate to have to put on wet pants some other time in the day. We got to the store and was able to buy most of what we needed. It's always exciting when that happens. The walk home was going into the wind so I took a little longer to get home then Tyler. It turns out that having the extra baby weight doesn't make you any more heavy when it comes to stupid fast wind gusts.
Tyler went back to studying while I unpacked the food. He was about to write his test so he wanted to just skim over everything one more time before heading over to the hospital to use their internet. He came home about 15 minutes later with a passing grade and another story of almost slipping down the small hill.
We spent the afternoon reading, cross stitching, and listening to the hockey game on the internet. I went outside to see if TK was in her box. The weather was really bad and we haven't seen Calico in a while so I wasn't sure if TK had eaten much. I found her curled up, all warm and snug in her little house. I brought some food for her and she ate it up hungrily. Poor TK probably was there all night, stuck because of the rain and wind. I'm sure she isn't as helpless as I think she is but it's still sad to see her out there.
We ate some salmon and rice for dinner and are now reading and I'm blogging. It's been a day stuck inside watching the tide go up and down.
Baby J had a good day though. He (remember, we don't actually know what the gender is but calling my baby an "it" makes me sad, so I will be calling it a he in this post) spent most of the day up in my rib cage, or at least pressing my lungs making me feel out of breath. I made Tyler feel a hard part and he wrinkled his nose because it's still strange to think there is a baby in there, and also, we don't know what body part that was. It probably was his head. He was doing a ton of squirming which I always love. I can't believe how soon he will be coming. It kind of blows my mind how fast this is going. I have been given a wide range for my due date so I could be due in either 8 weeks or 10 weeks. 8 weeks is only 2 months away! That is just crazy. We are pretty excited though.
TK is currently looking at me through the window and I can hear her saying, "Let me in. I'm lonely and sad and I want a cuddle". It breaks my heart that I can't do much for her. It probably doesn't help that I give her human personality traits. I'm about to warm her up some milk so she can maybe warm up if she's cold.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Also, happy birthday Amy. I hope you had a great day :)
