Steven: July 2004 Archives

I wake up this morning and peep an eye at the clock. 5 am. I close the eye and try to dream till the alarm goes off. 5:20 am, the alarm sounds. Steve drags himself from sleep and reaches over to the night stand and turns it off. After about 5 minutes I ask him if he needs a push to get started. He rolls out of bed and staggers to the shower. I am half asleep and hear the shower running but I am not conscious really until I open my eyes and he is standing in front of the closet. T-shirt, boxers and socks. He holds up one foot and says "I feel like g--damn Pippi Longstockings." Ummmm ... what the hell? I look again at him head to foot and see he pulled some long ass weird socks out and has them on. I am pretty sure he has his normal regular grey socks in his drawer. How did he end up with those? I am laughing and tell him his other things are downstairs where I did some laundry. I hop out of bed and go down and collect his stack. I bring back regular, normal, geek guu grey socks. He doesn't want them. He is gonna wear the pair he has on. Hmmm ... I wonder if thermal knee socks made him feel pretty and he liked the idea of being Pippi for a day .. LMFAO ... I seriously doubt it. When I put away his laundry he had plenty of other socks and how he reached past those and found that pair I will never know. I took J. to school and zipped out to Lowe's for a paint brush. I had planned to paint the bathroom but I didn't. I ended up popping the top on a can of pure white semi-gloss and started painting the closet doors in out bedroom. The walls will be a taupe color and the doors and trim will be bright white. I think it will look great with the pristine white of the new curtains and taupe/natural damask duvet set I just got. Things are coming together nicely. Slowly but nicely. Steve had wheatgrass juice tonight. 1 ounce to start with. Instead of shooting it he sipped it. My gawd he is a glutton for punishment. He got it down with shivers, belching and odd looks. Once he almost lost it but manage to recover. From now on we mix it with something else. The pure shot of juice is hard to choke down. I want to heal him not torture him. Any health food nut who says they enjoy their daily wheatgrass juice is full of BS. You can't enjoy that. We are going to try it with other juices to see if we can help the taste. We get to see the proofs from yesterday's photo shoot Thrusday night. Cool beans for us.
