What a joyous day! At around 8:45 this morning, I brought my six month old Sphynx cat to work. She was a huge hit! While walking past my desk with her, I was able to resist the extreme temptation to check my phone messages, as the light on my phone was blinking. I’m actually ashamed that the thought even crossed my mind – so sad, really. Anyway, we made our way around the office for about 20 minutes. We left via the back door. I put some more money in the meter and walked over to the Cool Moose Cafe ( www.coolmoosecafe.ca ), where us gals go for our break every morning. I mentioned to the owner that I would eventually bring little Abby in for a visit. His mother was there and her reaction to first seeing Abby was priceless! Her mouth dropped open and she stood there staring, until she finally said “Look at the dog!” Hehehe….Chris advised her that it was actually a cat. After our visit, I was stopped on the sidewalk by a co-worker from upstairs. He told me how much he enjoyed the speech I gave last month at work. It was basically about my struggles with my health issues and how I’ve chosen to overcome them. He said I had an attitude and approach similar to that of Martin Luther King Jr.! I was so flattered and felt so honoured to have had an impact on someone. I would give anything to be able to give motivational (and humorous!) presentations. Hmmm….I have to provide GST training to the office next month – I wonder if I can turn it into a comedic, motivational and education session?
After showing off little Abb-a-roo, my micro-mommy met me at the apartment. We wandered over to Niagara Square for some browsing. They have a nice Winners there. I found a perfect fitting pair of Calvin Klein jeans for $38. On the way home while driving on the QEW, something caught my eye. It was an airport. I begged and pleaded with my mother to stop in and visit my plane. We did and figured while we were there, we might as well go for a flight. It was a fairly smooth ride while we were traveling west along the Lake Ontario shoreline. We turned back when we reached Hamilton. I turned inland once we were over Jordan Harbour, and the ride became rather rough. My mother is not one for a bumpy airplane ride. I don’t see what the big deal is – it’s just like going over potholes in the road. Anyway, she started to get all tense, so I headed back to the airport….she came with me, to her relief.
I had a productive couple hours once I got back home. I completed tons of little things, from making some phone calls, scrubbage of the shower tiles, cleaned the litter boxes, sorted some files, blah, blah, blah. I always feel a sense of relief after completing those nagging little tasks that loom over your head.
Today’s symptoms: Another decent day! I woke up with a headache bad enough to make me take a pill. My energy dwindled fairly slowly throughout the day – right on!
