Right now...

I started off with typing out what the time is right now. But then I erased it. Does now have a time? Isn't now, that time? So...let me start again.

The TV is on, unusual for this time of the morning. Its the treat the little one gets for braving the highest fever of his life so far. My throat is warm and soaking in the delicious sweetness of my favorite coffee. The day outside is actually my perfect kind of weather. The sun seems to sleep in a little longer as the clouds take center stage and sing their rain song. Traffic....whoosh...whoosh....whoosh. Everyone is going somewhere. The side table is stacked with some board games and a lot of tiny zoo animal figures and Thambi's cars, some upturned. Maybe they are still sleeping. :)

Half folded laundry is on the floor, a chore from last evening that I still need to finish up. I can hear the water pipes with their steady hum, as the sound of the tub faucet blares from the bathroom upstairs. R is getting ready for his day. He plans to work from home. Winkie still sleeps, and I greedily let him grab those last few minutes of blissful sleep before a hand comes to shake him awake. He slept late after watching American Idol with me. We are into it. I remember the look of smiling but tense anticipation on his face and feel like smiling too.

I rock gently on the armchair I am sitting on. I love this chair. Its right for my back and it has just the right tilt for a rock. I am here now. Happy to feel this familiar old urge to type into a place that feels like home.....words that come from a place that feels like home. Now is just wonderful!
