Five on Friday

1. If I'm worried I won't like a book, I read the last page/chapter first. My opinion is that if the book is worth reading, it doesn't matter if you know how it ends. I have limited time, I read for enjoyment, and I hate sad endings. Oh, and I'm not big on surprises, either.
2. CJ has his infuriating moments, but God, that kid has my heart wrapped in his little fist. He gives the BEST Eskimo kisses. I love how he snuggles in when I sing his goodnight songs. Why are the best things in life the ones that require the most work?
3. Work has been intense. I took today off to try and recover, even though I was sick Monday. I think it was worth it. I really want a vacation (NOW), but it just isn't in the cards with Gavin so sick. Maybe New Mexico NEXT year...
4. I find it odd that I go through color phases. Does anyone else do this? I'd say 90% of the clothes I've purchased in the last 6 months have been purple,. Before that, it was green. Before that, red, etc. I'm talking YEARS of this color, though. If I put on red today , I'd be unhappy with how it looked on me. I still wear those clothes, they just get worn last.
5. I made it to the pool AT LAST today. After almost 3 weeks, it was much needed. I took it easy, but will probably hurt tomorrow! I've just been sick/busy so much. Glad to be getting back to a bit of health for myself, but it is these times that my heart hurts most for Gavin and I can maybe have just an inkling of how he feels.
