Today started off less than perfect... It took Gary and me over 2 hours to drive back from Concord to San Jose last night. That meant that I would have to turn around and head back to Concord at midnight! (Ugly big-rig accident on 680...) So, I spent the night with the intention of getting up at 4AM and driving home ahead of the traffic.
Gary woke me at 4:40... the alarm didn't go off... hmmmm... okay. So, I drug myself out of bed, kissed him and the doggie, and headed out the door.
That was the only bad part of the day - oversleeping and having to say goodbye to my boyfriend and the doggie until next weekend.
After that, my day was TOTALLY AWESOME!
I got home in time to catch a little more sleep, overslept, stopped at Starbucks for my vente americano - with an extra shot and got into the office at 7:30. Wow, impressive!!
Then, in my morning meeting with my boss, we spent the first ten minutes discussing the latest Harry Potter book. The next ten minutes were spent talking about Johnny Depp and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Cool beans!
I didn't have any meetings, I finished the memo that I have been trying to get published for the last three days, sent out a mailer to our CBOs, put together packets of specialized information for a couple of different groups of folks, hooked up with numerous people and got answers that I have been trying to nail down for weeks, AND left the office at 4:45 PM!!!
Whew! If that wasn't enough, I came home to find that my daughter had finished the grocery shopping, picked up Booboo's food from the vet's and was working on dinner. So, I had a nap, took Booboo for a nice walk, didn't see that wierd guy, hung out with Meg and her friends, and checked out my email (that I haven't touched in about a week!).
Wow, this has been one of the best days ever. Nothing particularly spectacular - just the nice feeling of satisfaction of doing a good job, raising a great kid, and being quite a bit lucky.
