Yesterday was one of those days that makes me want to believe there is such a thing as karma. Or at least good karma... although it usually doesn't come back to you that quickly.
I started out the day donating blood over in Redmond City Hall (I try to donate four times a year and this was my fourth!). Since I was right there, I headed over to Pharmaca to pick up some supplements, but first decided to walk across the street to the British Pantry... where I discovered they still had slots available for their special English Christmas Dinner next month. I got signed up for that, walked back over the pharmacy and did my shopping... and spotted
Peppermint Little Secrets (they're basically M&Ms, but are dark chocolate and are generally dairy free... the peppermint ones are seasonal) on sale! Grabbed a couple bags of those and went to check out, where it turned out they had a coupon (and she had an extra sitting right there) for a free pair of earrings if you spent over a certain amount, which I had. So, bonus earrings!!! (Really nice earrings, too.)
Shortly after I left there, I made the realization that every single traffic light I came to was either already green or changed to green right as I pulled up. Every single one. It was actually a bit freaky, to be honest. I sailed right through all the way to Woodinville, did a bit of shopping and then realized I hadn't heard from the optometrist about my new glasses... gave them a call before heading home and they were ready for me to pick up. Once again, sailed through all the lights all the way to the optometrist's office (which was not nearby... like I said, it was getting a bit freaky) and made it home from there faster than I ever have before.
I'll be honest, I am a bit superstitious, so by the time I got home I was sort of waiting for the other shoe to drop... but it turned out that the universe just decided to smile on me yesterday (and, apparently, on
rackham who had the same freaky green light thing happen to him, too, and made it home from work in record time).
BTW, I really am trying to remember to post here more often. It's even one of my weekly goals that I've been utterly failing to accomplish.
