today, after accidentally waking up at 7:15 on a saturday, thanks to husband's alarm still being on, i realized that you can get so much done on a saturday if you don't sleep 'til noon. and i realized a few more things. most importantly, i had a moment of feeling totally grown up. for the first time ever within my memory.
and do you know what i was doing when i had the moment of being a grown up? i was stacking firewood. it hit me suddenly that i'm a person with a house that has not only one, but two fireplaces (ok, so they're wood-burning stoves, but still) and thus have a need to do the very responsible, grown-up activity of stacking firewood.
i know, it's a little strange that it took this long, but that's how it is.
