Today started out much like any other day. The kids all donned their Miami Hurricanes clothing, well this is actually all Meg’s clothing, but the others followed suit. See, we live Virginia Tech country, but are still avid Florida fans. Me, I am all for Florida State – Go Noles! Meg, she’s the Hurricanes fan. I like them, too. My parents prefer the Florida Gators. I will only root for them when they play another team I like even less. Where was I? Right, the kids all left wearing Hurricanes-wear in solidarity. This caused me to arise at 7 am. Not horrible, but I would not mind getting up at 8 am instead.
They leave and it is now just me and the dog. Not a bad little life. I decide today is the day I write something. Not this blog mind you, but another one. One that is the stirrings of an idea. Hopefully a good story, short or long, does not matter as long as it is good. So I type up a few words. And when I say a few words I mean just a few. They may change and that is okay. It is a start.
So, I am feeling pretty good right about now and still in my pj’s, which needs to change. I decide it is time for a nice relaxing bath. No kids, I have accomplished something – even if it is a small something, it is still something, and I need to bathe, so why not a nice relaxing bath to rejuvenate the spirits. It was wonderful! My iPod was tuned into my favorite mix – Sarah Brightman (Deliver Me), Led Zepplin (In the Light), Joni Mitchell (A Case of You) just to name a few. Poured some oatmeal-infused bath salts into the tub, pulled up my hair, and propped a towel behind my neck. Ahhhhh!
And now, here I am. Clean, dressed, and productive. Oh, and I did hear back for the bookkeeping position. I wanted to give some thought to their questions before responding. It sounds like a good fit for where I am today. Until tomorrow…
