Life right now and other tales

The weekend had been nonexistent. Things had just swished past with no trace at all to what had happened to the hours that usually drag by. The Lady had been dismayed. A novel awaits to be written, so does a collection of poetry to be edited and finalized. But before long the time has evaporated, like sweat before an air conditioner. Or the milk bowl before Franky, his Chewingness. Or chocolates when I'm around. Well, you get the drift.

The Lady has been doing the usual Monday morning tribal dance too, with much vigor and expertise. Sashaying, hip-hopping, stampeding, moonwalking, salsa-ying, ballet-dancing to and fro between the bathroom and the bedroom to the sound of mental tribal drums, juggling various outfits, shoes, piles of paper, books and the lot in the arms, hopping on one foot while trying to get a shoe on the other while brushing the hair out of the eyes with one hand and looking around to see if there's anything else that had been forgotten. All in tribute to the Weekend Gods of course, hoping they would come again soon.

Celebrated the 3rd year anniversary together the Darling and I. Nothing special, it being a working day, just coffee and dinner afterwards and a cruise around the town as usual, singing along to the radio, laughing like maniacs and chatting about random subject matter. Good times. Nice and comfortable we have grown together, like an old married couple. 3 years. Its like life did not exist before those 3 years. Yes, times have been trying from time to time but I guess that is a part of life and part of this deeply rooted condition that we refer to as love. I have every reason to believe that it is an incurable malady at times but a blissful one at that. We are one of those rare cases I guess, and I know for a fact that many would kill to have what we have, the way that we have it between us. So far, I have been blessed. Hoping against hope that the blessings will continue in life, love and happiness in times to come :)

Speaking of happiness, it is on the top of the list these days. Take each day as it comes and do the things that make me happy while avoiding what makes me sad. This is what I plan to implement in weeks to come. Happiness before anything. Motto for the next couple of weeks.

Raining cats and dogs outside. I can already hear Franky, my identity-confused doggy dancing around in the puddles. In my mind, I'm also dancing with him, while the rain poured all around us. Pure bliss it would have been if only I was allowed out at this time of the day :(
