Right now, my job is enjoyable. I hate that it takes away so much time from other things that I would RATHER be doing, but…such is life. Gotta work. Getting a little pay raise a while back makes it easier to bear the “have to do” aspect of my day, and being busy at work also makes the time pass quickly.
But, boy! I sure am glad when that “have to do” is over each evening, and I get to come home, to my “Home Sweet Home” and see my kittie kats, and Russ and I sit down together to eat dinner and watch a show. Hey! Dinner and a show: every night is like Date Night around here! 🙂
Anyway, the very best moment of the day is when we have dinner on the table and are just sitting down. We don’t sit at a regular “normal” table. We sit in the living room, in front of the TV, and eat from the “coffee table.” But our coffee table is a special kind of coffee table. It has this mechanism so that you can LIFT up the top of the table to a more comfortable height for eating. What a fabulous invention!
So each night, we sit down at our coffee table, with our food before us, and the TV on, and go “One…two..three…LIFT!” And then we lift up the top of the table together. And I will swear to you that in that moment when the top of the table comes UP, I feel my blood pressure go DOWN a few points, and I feel so much of the tension of the day just…drain out of me.
It’s a moment I look forward to every night. Table top up…ahhh, relax… It is, without a doubt, the best moment of my day.
