MMinP: I've had a few surprises in the past few weeks. They've upset the holy cods waddle out of my routines. The first surprise was my husband's accident. He injured his knee while playing soccer and needed to have surgery to reconstruct the damaged ligament. The next thing was a change to our homeschooling plans - meaning that some weeks I may only have two days to work instead of three. AND of course there was the school break thrown in for good measure! That wasn't a surprise but it JOYOUSLY changed our routines.
I like surprises in my creative process - as in starting a painting/drawing with a solid idea and having it evolve to a totally unexpected completion. I like that. I like the surprises of meeting someone and finding they like stuff that I like. Otherwise - I don't really like surprises. I like to know what I'm eating, where I'm going and what I'll be doing next Tuesday. My husband likes to offer me food thinking I'll taste it without asking. I ALWAYS ask. He eats things like tongue, kidneys, giblets etc. (no thanks :). Don't get me wrong - I like change. Change is good - surprises...well....they upset my gyroscope.
Please bear with me while I reset my gyroscope for the next quarter. My husband should be back on track in the next few weeks. I know I missed last week - my apologies - but really, between the sniffles and doctors appointments and the usual things in life, blogging was just not going to happen. SURPRISE :D
