Patiently Waiting

Today is going to be a very long day. My aunt and cousin arrive very, very late tonight...or maybe it would be more accurate to say very, very early tomorrow morning. Anyway, they are on their way. My cousin left a phone message that they were on the plane and getting ready to take off. I have checked their flight status, and it looks like they left a few minutes late...nothing that will affect the time they arrive here. They have to stop in London to change planes.

So, my long day of patiently waiting begins. What shall I do? I was going to run to the grocery store for a few items. However, S needs the car, so that is out. That's OK though. It just means that my cousin and aunt can go to the store with me tomorrow. They can see where I shop and what selection I have...or more accurately, what little selection I have. I was also going to go to my friend's house to go swimming today. However, it's been pouring rain off and on all night long, so I'm not sure much swimming is going to be taking place today. We'll see though...here in Chennai it can be pouring rain one minute and the next minute it can be clear blue skies...so there is always hope that it will turn out to be a nice day.

It looks like I will have to go to Plan B for what to do today. I guess I could always be productive and get caught up on some paperwork. Yeah right...I seriously doubt that is going to happen. I could always do some scrapbooking. Maybe, maybe not...just depends on what mood I'm in. Probably the best bet on how I'll spend my day is surfing the internet for awhile, finishing up some laundry, baking some muffins, and reading a good book. I'll have to find a good no-brainer book to read...you know, the type that you don't have to think real hard about while reading, but yet the book catches and keeps your attention, and before you know it, a couple of hours have passed and the pages are starting to blur. Also, I should probably take a nap.

Anyway, I guess I'll go find something to do...and I'll be patiently waiting...even if this means twiddling my thumbs all day long.
