deck dayz ...
birds' tones muted by the drizzle of a refreshing spring rain ... aahhhhh ... alive in every single cell, fingers tingly cat stretches, a soft sleepy smile creeping across the mirror... glorious morning.
smack!
is that me?
hey, check it out - i'm waking up smiling. and it's my day off. heh heh heh. I win!
one small change grew into a chain of them yesterday - and it apparently continues. the locks elicited more comments and compliments than expected - and it was lovely :) it's terrific to leave work knowing the desk is clean. i won $2 on my lotto ticket. the biweekly visit with the dreaded scale gave up more good news - finally reached the first loss goal I set in September - 50 pounds! (never mind how much is left, just think skinny). i actually asked the admin if it had been weighing light. hmpf. she just laughed at me. i wonder what watching the expressions of the people who come in to use the scale would be like. that would be fascinating...
anyhow, the decision was made then and there to walk by Ohees in the hopes that the deck would be ready for a visit. another stroke of brilliance if i may say. and there was still an open table. the nasty wind that had been blowing all day died off to a breeze, sunlight all toasty and the crew just starting to trickle in as if they too had heard the call of summer. fun and frivolity, good conversation, witty remarks and more silly ass grins than i've seen in many a moon. doing the happy dance without spillage, be it the guinness or whatever it is that floats your boat. old friends and new, hugs and hugs and hugs. aahhhhh ... happiness is being with my friends. corny but never truer.
coming home to a delectable little quiche my son the chef had cooked up - a perfect end for a slightly wobbly wench. little tasty bits and a a cuppa'. clean jammies, angus purring at my feet and off to dreamland...
and a brilliant morning. feels like spring cleaning, fresh starts, finishing small jobs left undone. much to do. a salute to 420 day and a scrubbing i will go.
