Beautiful Day

I was really bummed that I had to go to work this morning. When I got there, it was unusually busy and I got to meet two new interns. I felt for them. I remember the feeling in my stomach as I got ready to take my first clients into the playroom. Sessions went well. I felt confident. I haven't been feeling that way lately when I went in with clients lately. But I did today. Maybe it is the change in the weather. No more gloomy skies=No more gloomy mood. So it was a good day at work.

I left and decided to go get some lunch out on the patio at Panera (one of my favorite places). I tried reading the paper too, but it was windy. I was ok though. I was sitting in the sun. Hopefully darkening up my face a little. I am still wintery looking. I enjoyed my greek salad and the sun, then took off to return a shirt and buy another one to replace it. Lots of cute stuff at Kohls this week and they are handing out Kohls Cash today. So that was a plus. I ended up with a few cute tops and some capris. Hey, I needed some for work and for my trip. So I bought them. Big Deal.

I drove down to Carousel and returned the bad shirts and tried on some sunglasses at Macy's. I was bummed because I can't wear sunglasses anymore because of my stupid glasses. I think I might try contacts. I don't know if I will be able to touch my eye though. Kind of creeps me out. But I am willing to try, for the sake of cute sunglasses.

I drove around the city for a little. Something electric about a city in good weather. Everyone is out, moving around. Enjoying the sun. In Syracuse, sun is a hot commodity. We don't get it often, so you'd better soak it up while it's around. I did actually hear someone complain about it today though and I wanted to walk up and kick them. Do they remember this winter? DUH. Made me angry.

I decided I'd had enough so I came home. I drove with all of the windows down (which I could do now, because I'd cleaned all of the junk out that could have started flying around...finally) listening to TK99. Started out with My Life by Billy Joel. Oh yeah, don't think I didn't sing...loud. It's a good thing I was alone. Then Soul to Squeeze by Chili Peppers (by the way, you must read Scar Tissue, but Anthony Keadis (lead singer of Chili Peppers): Shocking and a must read). Then Dancing with Myself by Billy Idol and Magic Man by Heart. It was a good drive. A good drive with a bad singer, but good nonetheless.

I arrived home and decided to try to take pictures of some of my plants trying to come up through the soil. It didn't work. They look stupid. I will delete them.

Finally, I went downstairs to change the kitty litter. Man, that was icky. It was icky because as I was cleaning it, I got a piece in my mouth. I swore a bit. Spit a bit. Swore some more and came up to brush my teeth.

Exciting day? Not to you probably. But to me, I felt like I could just do whatever I wanted. I could shope. I could go to Syracuse. I could drive to Albany. I could drive to Ithaca. I could get on a plane and fly somewhere. I could sing really loud to cheezy 80's songs with my hair whipping in my face. I decided to do a few of those things and then I chose to come home. This is significant, because it was MY choice. I didn't HAVE to. I WANTED to. It surprised me, but that's it. I was free to choose.
