you capture – quiet

Monday brought me a feverish, snuggly baby, much like two weeks ago.
I wore him as he slept and cuddled and cuddled and slept.
I didn’t much feel like getting anything done, either.
For most of the day we walked around the [quiet] house sipping tea, looking out the windows, passing time.

for you, for humpday

This video is, sadly, 2 months old now, but I don’t care and I’m sharing it anyway. Like Snickers, it is guaranteed to satisfy. (Name that 90’s song reference!)

When I look into my future, I see copious amounts of man grunting, à la Tim Allen in Home Improvement.
