I kept trying to use my work password to get into my LJ, and wondering why it didn't work...Kind of like when I try to unlock my office using my housekeys. What does that say about my brain?
Today was a pretty good day, so I thought now might be a good time to post again. I did a 30 minute workout this morning, which is good because I haven't been able to do any workouts except for running in two weeks, as I hurt my neck. I was only a couple of minutes late for the meeting this morning, and it did not degenerate into name calling and finger pointing. The meeting had some of us on edge a bit, as we weren't sure what to expect from meeting with another team. Things got done. Although I still have my notes to do, but that's because of an unexpected meeting at the end of the day. I came home and my dog started to chase a squirrel, but LISTENED when I told him to leave it, and he got in the car without killing any small furry or feathery things. I took him to the park, and there were good people there, and dogs, and one guy told me that his wife would give me a 90 minute massage if I would take their dog for a day so they could have some time to do things. Axel loves this dog, so for me it's a win-win. Good conversations, no drama, dog didn't misbehave..too much...Then I came home and had some soup that I made this weekend. It came out quite well, it's a bean and vegetable soup with some italian flavorings, and I really like it. Bryan likes it too, so it will be gone soon. I sat outside for a few minutes after dinner, watching bunnies frolic in the yard (yes, they were actually playing with each other like a couple of puppies, and I have a feeling there will be lots and lots of bunnies very soon.) I heard a bird I've never heard before. And all the plants that I planted last fall actually survived and bloomed. Never mind that the irises were accidentally dwarf irises and I will have to move them when I redo the bed, they're still very pretty.
I do like spring.
And then I made the mistake of checking facebook, and the posts about politics really make me tired, even though I agree with most of them. I've achieved about my limit on f*ed up things going on in the world, I can't tolerate thinking about more right now. So I put facebook away, and I am on the couch, with my dog, and my cat by my head (with more cats circling even as I type) and pretty soon I will be happily buried in animals and half asleep and full. My life, right now, is pretty damn good.
