A Wash Of Golden-Orange

I must say, I'm feeling pretty good today. I thought my
day was going to go down the crapper when I woke up an
hour late (7:14, instead of 6am). But since I'm hardly
noticed at my extern, I didn't even bother to call in.
Sure enough, I waltzed in at 9:04, posted myself behind
the industrial shredder in the basement and not a single
person noticed I wasn't there at 8am. So, I got an extra
hour of sleep, one hour less as an indentured servant and
the weather was MAGNIFICENT when I got off at 1am. Nothing
could ruin my day!

After work, I went to the mall to pick up Snookums'
Valentine's Day present from the engraver. It looks so
good! They even polished it up for me. The diamonds are
twinkling and the gold and stainless steel are completely
fingerprint free. I went to Hallmark, got some pretty bows
and tissue, a gift bag (for a long jewelry box) and a
great card. My shopping is officially done. I don't even
care if all I get is a card from the ship store. I'm SO
looking forward to giving this to Snookums. He does so
much for me and puts up with my craziness, selfishness and
over-indulgence. It's about time something nice happened
to him.

My workout was great. The gym was practically deserted, so
there was no problem getting my favorite elliptical
machine. When I came out, I felt so good, so relaxed and
loose, limber and well-stretched. There really is nothing
quite like a good workout to lift your spirits. The
weather was even better at 3:30pm than it was at 1pm. I
came out of the solid brick building into a wash of golden-
orange that felt so GOOD. It was 60 degrees today. It
reminded me of last summer and how I practically ran from
the sun's touch at every opportunity. How I'd love to go
back and fix myself so I wouldn't have lost a whole summer
being depressed. But, since that isn't possible. I'm going
to do my best to enjoy every moment I can. That's a
promise to myself.
