"Mine is the Sunlight...Mine is the Morning"
Another morning. I can already tell it's going to be a slow day at work. I brought a CD rotation (some Spanish music today instead of Irish and a bit less Diana Krall...I listened to her so much that her songs are now stuck in my head) because I just know it's gonna be one of those days.
I'm hoping somewhere along the line something interesting will happen. Then I say to myself, "Self...get real".
The problem is that it's summer and it's the end of May, not the end of June. The end of June is when it gets really busy in my office, but for now it's just very slow. Truthfully, I have no idea how to keep my co-worker and trainee busy today. But we'll make it through...we're both trying to get full-time hours off this job, but it isn't always easy.
I should be really tired after being up late last night, but I seem to be doing good at the moment. The shower and the Noni shot (it's a fruit juice) energized me, I think. It'll wear off as the morning progresses on. But at least I have my co-worker Shelli around to laugh with me...mind you, she's not here yet. Not until 9, which is good because we've got some stuff to do in the basement this morning anyways. (Basement: Better known as "The Dungeon")
Cold is getting better. I've been drinking lots of fluids (which I'm not in the habit of doing, I regret to say). This means I'm constantly running to the bathroom, but at least I'm being healthy. :P I also didn't bring any cake with me for dessert today...I love my grad. cake, but I really don't need the sugars at the moment. ;_;

*Flops back, thinking* You know, as I write at this inbetween low points of work, I think to myself that friends are so very important. Mind you, you can lose contact with them or simply let them fall back into the "acquaintances" category...but those who are your real friends never disappear. They may not always be around...they may be living their lives, but they're always there for you when you really need somebody.
And beyond just the close friends are the "kindred spirits". I can't help but feel Anne-ish when I hear that phrase, but it truthfully does describe some people...I mean, when two people get along so well, share so many of the same characteristics and can be in each other's company for a prolonged period of time without getting bored or into a fight, then that's pretty special. *Smiles to herself* I have decided that kindred spirit friends are the type of people I'm talking about when I say that my great joy is just being with a person for hours and not having to do anything or hardly speak a word, and yet never getting bored. I've had this happen before where a friend and I will just read for hours, not talking to each other but being in the same room and sharing the common hobby...and then we'll look up, realize the day has slipped away from us, and laugh with each other as we talk about whatever we were reading. It's just that whole comfortable, "I can be myself"-type of thing when you're with the person.
I wonder how many kindred spirits a person can find in a life time...it's probably an infinite number. I've found quite a few in my walk through life...I hope I find many more. ^_^
