A Month of Sundays
Life keeps rushing at me. Yesterday was the second Sunday in June already. The work week loomed and I was wishing there would be another Sunday today.
I'm alone in my own house - a rare luxury. Sunday morning, I drove Mr. Celia across the Bay Bridge to the San Francisco airport. He's off on European adventure with the Boyo. So I'll either have enough time to get thoroughly sick of living alone, or maybe I'll have just enough time to get used to it before he comes home.
I have driven across the Bay Bridge the past four Sunday mornings. Somebody's always going somewhere. In general, I don't travel over the bridge more than once or twice a month. But it's been an unusually busy season, filled with visiting relatives, friends who needed rides, sightseeing trips, graduations...you know the drill. And there have been more than just those Sunday trips across the bridge. While the visiting relatives were here, we even had a three-bridge day.
Sundays are usually quiet affairs. Celebrated in my pajamas with a lingering breakfast. This past month of Sundays has been quite...active. Not in an overwhelming sort of way - I've been enjoying all the activity - but I do long for a Sunday spent in pajamaed langour. It's just that I don't see it happening any time soon. Perhaps after Mr. Celia returns and we get back to our regular schedule. For him, Sunday morning is reserved for golf, while I have the house all to myself for a few hours of loafing in pajama comfort. That's the way things were until the last month of Sundays. I hope to hit that equilibrium again soon.
Midsummer Pajama Day, anyone?








I am sooo over-ready for a pajama day. I thought when your kids grew up and you retired (and turned in your PTA badge), you had unlimited pajama days.
Wazzup wit dat?

We are planning a month of pj Sundays when we get back. We have to catch up with ourselves somehow. But for us they'll be midwinter ones.

Mr. Pamela is also out of town this week, but I am going to be busy sewing a lace shrug for a friend's wedding, and I'll bet Sunday will be final fitting.
I have been getting some knitting done, though!
And if I don't have a finning, you bet I'm staying in my PJ's!
