02/18/2005: "Long Weekend"

music: Shark Tank
mood: pleasant for once

It's Friday and that's a good thing. I am emerging from a long funk, which I reserve the right to retreat back into, but for now the sun is out, the cherry trees have bloomed early, my hummingbird has already visited me today at my work window and I am looking forward to hopefully having a good weekend. Here are the other good things going on...

Opening night of No Exit tonight with the gala. My room is such a mess I couldn't find a dress to wear, but I have my dressy fish slippers I can impress the partons with.

My raise is official and will be retroactve to December, but that only really means I now make 2/3rds of what I was making 3 years ago. No matter, 1 more month of car payment, and that should lessen some of the stress on budget.

I bought myself some flowers, too pretty to pass up and they are very cheery in the office. Makes a big different.

I was thinking since Monday is a Holiday if I am not shopping with my friend Laurina for her wedding dress, or cleaning that room up like I should, that I would treat the jeep to a trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It's been a while and as one of my favorite places, I think maybe I could treat myself to a little pisces bonding and relaxation. As I was looking for times they were open I came across the winner of the week, their live shark cam. AWESOME. It's better than drugs man....I'm totally hooked. If I don't make it down there to see the new Great White they have, at least I can watch them live. Too bad they don't have a jelly cam, that exhibit is killer too.

Dogsitting for Both Mister Bear, Mister Romeo and miss masha (Vika's kitty) this weekend. Should be good to snuggle with my pooch. He had a tick removed from his ear last night post must see TV last night. GROSS. I have to say, I didn't help much with the procedure, sensitive dogs don't respond so well to a squeal of disgust. SO I rubbed his tummy and looked away, and then Dr. Tann (Chris) decided he was better off taking him away from me to remove it. That worked much better for all parties.

Eating is going well, I feel a bit better today, and haven't even had any caffiene so that's a plus. I still feela bit light headed and fuzzy from time to time but it will be worth it to prove I stillhave will power. Without even THINKING About it I almost ate some brownies crumbs that I was cutting last night, it was half way to my mouth when I freaked...I've don't sooooo good, not going to give myself an excuse to give up now. =] Pride.

Anyway nothing deep here, except the ocean and grrovy music of the shark cam. Do check it out. Have a good presidents day, I know which I will be celebrating and which I will not.
