Time Flows

Yesterday was a good day, I was kept busy all day long. I don’t know if the window being wide open all night and the cool air flooding over my heavily blanked body with only my nose sticking out or maybe actually stayed up until midnight the night before but I slept heavy and deeply and woke very few times and got some great sleep. I woke feeling great.

Anakah had come over to send the evening and we spent the evening watching video’s following her swimming with Dianne at the Murray Pool, where Ani swam 44 laps or something, a first! I had only been up a hour or so when I heard Anakah calling my name as I puttered round the kitchen getting ready for the day. I was toying with the idea of cooking breakfast, bacon and eggs but Anakah has moved on from Bacon and eggs and I know likes to go out.

I had made arrangements earlier in the week to drop by Magic Rest Medical and see about getting a cushion for my manual wheelchair which would treat my butt better then what I have now. So I figured I would offer asking Anakah out for breakfast as a time killer until Magic Rest Opened, and Anakah bit and we went to our local Village Inn. Anakah had wanted togo to a Pancake house but I knew a pancake house would be crowded and over priced. But Village Inn (VI)was just cross the street up on the main drag.

Village Inn is a chain restaurant and, I suppose as corporate as, the Pancake house where Anakah wanted to go, but it seemed to meet my needs and I was driving so we went to VI. But the VI was OK, not as pathetic as Denny’s gen pop or truck drivers, bachelor and weekend Saturday dads, the only similarity I noticed was the amount of seniors. We finally got seated after the “seating person” tried seat us with the people standing behind us—figuring an old guy in a wheelchair and his granddaughter could not be out by themselves. I got breakfast of huevos rancheros and Ani got pasta, it’s what she wanted and they serve pasta any time. We did some people watching ate, our meal and just hung out and enjoyed each others company.

Anakah is on the verge of pre-adolescence she has a couple of years to go until before she actually enters real teenage-hood. I have recently realized this and have been doing ore and more with the girl. Soon I will be too old for Saturday morning breakfasts—I will not even see this little person who is becoming more and more social—maybe as traditional holiday family functions. – but I feel even these family celebrations she will be on the run, or the go, that is life and the nature of things. Know your place old man. Be thankful for these moment you have they may be all you get
