A considerably better day than yesterday.
The sun is shining, my cold is finally clearing up, Peets Coffee made me a perfect blended decaf soy and we just happened to turn down a street that had a new icecream shop on it. I had a scoop of coffee and one of walnut, in the sweetest, crunchiest, yummiest waffle cone.
Doesn't icecream just make everything OK? I think it might just be proof that there is a Higher Being.
We took Puppy Dog for a long walk and swim and he was ecstatic. It's so wonderful to see him bounding across fields, chasing tennis balls at top speed, or jumping into the water, lollopy-swimming through it (he's swims as if he is walking through the water - it's not that graceful), again, to retrieve a little lime green furry, bouncy ball.
Afterwards I happened to see an old colleague who I really hope will become a true friend - she's great. Seeing her again was a nice way to reconnect with news of people I care about and don't get to see every day anymore.
I oscillate between being proactive and moving on, and grieving. I guess that's natural. I still haven't unpacked the case of all the crap I took from my cube. I think that fact alone is pretty revealing.
But I also have an interview lined up next week, and it's a holiday weekend so - what the heck! - I'm gonna kick back now, watch some mindless TV, and eat something that is very bad for me.
