Tom got home just before 11 this morning. It's not only great having him home, but it's really nice to have someone else in the house (besides the cats, of course).

Tom also gave me an INCREDIBLE coming home present -- a pajama day!!!

When he got here, I was on the phone with my sister in Milwaukee, and noting that I would REALLY soon have to put some real clothes on (instead of pajamas, I was wearing sweats) and go out to bring in some more firewood. Tom arrived just in time to get back into winter exercise mode -- and for the first time in 3 weeks I didn't have to brave the elements (such as yesterday's brutally cold wind) and schlep wood into the house to keep the woodstove burning bright.

So I read, played with the cats (even had both of them in my lap at the same time), took a very short nap (one cat under the covers; one on top next to me), read some more, got a couple small things done that needed doing, read some more -- in short, had a delightful day.

Right now he's curmudgeoning because the dinner he just planned and prepared turned out to be less tasty than he expected.
