This isn't particularly exciting, but it's life. Some days I feel like I hit a home run when initially I was expecting to strike out. Today was one of those days.
It was supposed to be a bad day. Work's been a pressure cooker of unmet expectations and I had an afternoon doctor's appointment with no car and a schedule full of evening responsibilities.
So, nothing really to look forward to. Except a cookie at lunch.
But then things went right. And I'm going to brag about these really mediocre day happenings like they're some sort of triumph now. Commencing...
First, I wasn't sure if I actually had an appointment, so guess what I did? Kyoo mom, you'll never guess so I'll just tell you. I called my doctor's office. You heard me right. This girl picked up the phone and actually spoke to a real person to confirm.
I hate doing that but each time I'm reminded it's really not that bad.
Then I proactively attacked my work duties. With vigor and vim! Which, unfortunately, will probably set the standard for tomorrow, but maybe that's a good thing.
I ran into the Alishafriend on my way to lift weights at lunch and we laughed and exchanged dramatic stories in the locker room. We were also wearing the same shorts! It's the little things. Never a dull moment with her.
And then I biked to my doctor's office. Which made me feel kind of green and environmental. But mostly just hot and sweaty.
Clean laundry. Visits with church friends. A sink void of dirty dishes. Oh yes. Let me not forget cheap pizza for dinner.
Do I sound old?
Surprisingly, the cookie was the biggest letdown of the day. It all comes back to low expectations. It's not that I'm pessimistic, but it seems like days I'm dreading the most turn out not-so-bad.
Have a great day :-)
