Ordinary Days

our days are starting to become

a bit more routine.

the older kids are gone 

for most of the day.

griffin and i are finding a 

new rhythm to our days together.

we shop daily for food...

which i enjoy.

my refrigerator here is a 1/4 of the 

size of the one i had back in the states...

but, i'm not complaining.

i know i'm wasting less food.

when i shop,

i buy only what i need for the next

day or two.

(except for my weekly trips to casino

for dry goods..which they deliver :)

i don't miss driving a car.

even when it's raining..

which is often..

we get out and walk.

i'm starting to recognize people now.

the girl at my local produce market who 

asks (constantly), why griffin isn't in school...

the rotisserie chicken man who now knows

how many pommes de terre i need

and that yes, i would like gravy...

the girl at my local pharmacy

(who is like my therapist)

 tells me i need to be taking my multi-vitamin along

with a "calming" vitamin to help with my eczema

that she believes has been brought on by stress.

many days..

especially sunny days like this..

griffy and i will stop at an outdoor cafe.

i usually have to bribe him with a kinder egg

and an orangina to sit with me and people watch.

we have a few cafe's that we frequent

but i like to try new ones too.

and every day we become a bit

more comfortable riding the train.

griffin obviously feels right at home.
