Happiness Project Days 3-6 and good-busy stuff.
Day 3
Grateful... 1. QE 2. Babysitters 3. Managing to have a good time in a new situation and doing that awkward strangers-chit-chat thing that makes me anxious
Good thing of the day- getting to see fubar's mom as she passed through on her way home from other stuff
Act of Kindness- saved one of my table-mates from the embarrassment of participating in the dinner theater shenanigans.
Exercise? Um, I think I failed on this one.
Meditation- I'm sure I did.
Day 4
Grateful- Crime Fighter, girls night out, warm weather
Good thing of the day- catching up with friends over dinner
Act of Kindness- practicing my presentation, so I should be more prepared for the run-through tomorrow. (a kindness to myself and my coworkers)
Exercise- biked the commute
Meditation- had quiet time on that bike ride.
Day 5
Grateful-Taxes (no really! otherwise we'd not have roads and schools and cops), Niece Laura, my capacity for patience
Good thing of the day- Reading to Crime Fighter before bed
Act of Kindness- Did dishes after dinner
Exercise- Bike ride
Meditation-quiet time on bike ride
Day 6
Grateful- asciikitty, living next to the bike path, moments of presence/focus
Good thing of the day- The walk to work: crisp, cold air. bright sun, green under snow,first leaves and flowers
Act of Kindness- Left the last 2 eggs for fubar's breakfast, even though I wanted 'em
Exercise- walk to work from the preschool
Meditation-quiet time on walk
And in other news, I'm so happy to have my coworker(s), but particularly C. She saved me from diving too deep into a project that doesn't need the level of attention I was afraid I would have to employ in order to Do It Right. We also had a nice chit-chat on the way to get afternoon coffee. The folks at home see her as my nemesis most of the time given when she does come up she's doing something Not Good at me. It's really not like that most of the time.
Upcoming fun---

Upcoming fun---
- Day off Friday/no school for the kid. I've arranged for him to hang with the Monkey House while QE and I see Cap 2 (SQUEE!)
- Friends' wedding on Saturday. My outfit is going to be killer-awesome, I will take pictures.
- Have to prep for token Easter activities, which involves gathering up random small fun toys from the kid's room and putting them in plastic eggs. Arranging for a small amount of sugar to be given to him in controlled doses.
- Marathon Day Monday, as usual off. I will go to a young friend's birthday and possibly the town parade and not spend the day freaked out, dammit.
- In a week and a day, my birthday. Already? OK.
- Gore Place on the 26th. Which is good. I want to stockpile some roving. I'm scraping the bottom of my barrel. If anyone out there has roving they need spun but lack time? I am happy to spin fiber I'm really not super-attached to keeping all the fiber that goes on my wheel.
