Welcome Back! Hi! It's really me.

Early morning. Phone face is bright. Check time, 0500. Loudly, sprinklers misting.
Is it going to be sunny (again)? It's too dark to tell.
Morning quickie and snuggles before the kids awake.
Fan blowing cool air loudly in through the one window. Restroom break. Find slippers and don't walk too noisy on "hard woods".
He is in the shower, I'm getting something warm for my throat. Costa Rican coffee beans right now that my friend sent me.
I remember! Friday! and a new milk steamer...ahhhh. (http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/williams-sonoma-by-caso-milk-frother/?pkey=cview-all-sale%7Call-sale%7C&&cview-all-sale|all-sale|)
Bird starts to chirp...shhh! bird, they are sleeping.
Milk poured into frother/steamer and ahh! it's so quiet. Stove pot is steaming with heated coffee. Add it together and sit down to pray.
He comes out smiling, tells me he loves me, that it's payday and that he's going to order a bacon egg and cheese sandwich at work deli. Kiss. Smile. Keys. Briefbag. Clunk, clunk shoes on. Door closes and locks.
Quiet. Prayer. Concerns. Friend in hospital, family members pushing in on the corners. Released. Listen then babble, listen then bab....nod...I'll just close my eyes for a minute.

Content. Completely content wrapped up in his protection.
Helps that my baseboards are clean. It's going to be a great day.
