I slept this morning while Kim loaded (the car) and locked (the house) and went to the market.  I feel sort of bad, but I have to go to work now and have to function, so the extra 45 minutes of broken slumber won’t be wasted.

In fact, I’d say I was almost completely useless in the preparations for the market yesterday.  I worked while she baked.  I did help with some icing, but mostly it was all Kim’s doing.  And she did a good job.  There are some nice looking cookies there today, and some tasty muffins.  And of course her wonderfully chocolate mint cupcakes.  There is a small touch of something I suggested: she took a heart-shaped cookie, made a cut in it that looks like bites, and called those the “love bites” cookies.  That sort of dark humour is a hold over from my bitter and single days, but let’s face it, neither Kim nor I is a big Valentine’s Day fan.  As she says, the only thing she likes about it is the chance to put red and pink together… the design opportunities!

How’s my work, you might ask?  Coming along well.  Yesterday I hooked up headphones to my computer so i could work while Kim worked (we have an open concept house so I can’t close the door to my office–there is no door.   Then I got through more files, and began to formulate the paper I’m working on, as well as to collect material for other projects that are coming up soon.  I have about 5 papers to write this year, and I want to do some chapters on the book.  So that will take some time; it’s nice to see I can work with a blender grinding away downstairs.

Off to the market to bring Kim some coffee before I head to work.
