Day of Rest

Today is the first day in a week that I haven’t had my alarm set for an ungodly hour. I still woke up at 7am…which is kind of sleeping in compared to what I’ve become accustomed to. But I settled myself back to sleep and managed to get in another hour. Fortunately I have nowhere to be today…nothing to do. It is a very strange feeling, and one that I will most likely not experience again for a long time!

I will admit, at 7 today I was hoping I might hear Avery cooing over the monitor since that’s just before her usual wake up time. But I feel like the worst is over and the countdown is on…I will see her in five days! I know that this week will fly by.

So on this rainy Sunday myself and my sister (who is still sleeping soundly in the bedroom while I’m on my third cup of coffee) will have some brunch, run a couple of errands, do a little shopping and hopefully do her taxes; something neither of us have done before but I’m thinking that two young college-educated people should be able to complete a simple tax return (if not then that’s a whole other issue).

Then tomorrow, bright and early (or “at the crack of Starbucks” as I recently heard someone say) it’s back at it for a week of Avapro/Avalide training (or re-training in my case). I’ll leave you with this adorable (although fuzzy) picture Brian’s mom snapped on her cell phone of Avery’s bath last night…she is sitting up better than when I left…and as sweet as ever!
