My Life Thus Far

I'm an Atheist Vegan

I woke up feeling so good this morning. Very calm and peaceful. It was beautiful. I wasn't woken up by my alarm. I was actually up almost a full hour before it went off. It was a nice departure from the norm. I wish more days could start like today. I had plenty of time to have a real breakfast, my morning smoothie, and I didn't have to rush to work. Just lovely.

Work was work. There really wasn't much to say about it. My voice held out, which was good. By the end of my shift it was slightly raspy, but it didn't die. I feel mostly recovered from what I assume was actually a cold. I've got a little congestion still working it's way out, but I'm otherwise well. I'm grateful it wasn't more serious, whatever it was.

While scrolling Facebook tonight I realized that there was a "friend" I hadn't seen any posts from in awhile, so I searched them, only to discover that we aren't friends anymore. I'm not sure if I unfriended him or if he unfriended me, but I suspect he unfriended me. We used to be coworkers, and both have since gone our separate ways. He's a meat-eating muscle-bound body builder type, who recently converted to Christianity. I'm an Atheist vegan. I can definitely see how my posts could possibly irritate. It's not too surprising, but I still find it strange that people unfriend others simply for not holding the same beliefs as them. I have lots of friends who think differently than me. Doesn't mean I don't still want to keep up with them and be part of their lives, even in just a small way. Whatever... his loss. I'm awesome. I would be lying if I said I didn't care, but the reality is, it took me over 6 months to even notice we weren't friends anymore. Oops. We have 10 mutual friends (other former coworkers), so I'm sure it was just me in particular that he has a problem with. Fuck him then. I should think about spending less time on Facebook, anyway.

Tomorrow is one of my coworkers' birthday. I've worked with her for awhile, and she's someone I really respect and like. I bought her a Starbucks gift card and a Target gift card, a Seattle Chocolates truffle bar (wrapped in a Seahawks wrapper - she loves all things Seahawks), and tomorrow I'm going to get her a cute little flower arrangement custom made at Central Market. It's not much, but I want her to know she's appreciated. She works so hard (single mom, dead beat husband), and rarely gets herself anything. I wish I could do more for her, but I know she wouldn't want me to, anyhow.
