Boring is Good

That's what my doctor said, "Boring is good." It may very well be good for recovery, but boring is well %boring%. And lonely. Suzy has done her best to keep the kids out of the house so they don't catch pneumonia from me and I think great, I finally can truly relax and get better. You know, watch a movie, no disturbances. And that lasts about two hours, until the movie ends. And then there's nothing more I want to hear than that garage door open and have Katherine and Vincent scream %Daddy, Daddy% like they always do. Today, I have a long time to wait. They're all off to Zuma Beach for a traditional Mother's Day on the beach with Suzy's whole family. Sun and sand, gentle breeze, dolphins frolicking just out of reach, fried chicken and coleslaw, kids laughing, waves crashing. And me. At home. On this damn computer. Just waiting, waiting. It's going to be a long day. But at least I'll get to see the pictures.
