Somebody certainly had her panties in a twist yesterday!

The good news? Attitudes change with the sweep of the hour hand on the clock, most days. Which is a blessing since the one I managed to get into yesterday was intense and I don't care to repeat that on a regular basis if I can help it.

Anyway, here we are, and thanks to a combination of things, I'm in a much less dark place today and am told I look 'happy and fresh'...The funny thing is I have no idea how I looked yesterday, probably because most people instinctively avoided me...ahem.

Reasons I think I'm in a better place today:

 1. Daughter is home, and we had a lovely evening. We sat out in our backyard and enjoyed a lovely early evening and chatted about what had happened since we last relaxed together. Then we made a delicious dinner of grilled shrimp, wild rice, kale salad (fresh kale from the garden), and a chilly chardonnay. Mmmm. And then we watched Promised Land, which was good. I told JL earlier I'd give it a 6..for overall story/acting/chemistry.

 2. Hormones have taken a seat after partying hard in my bloodstream for the last week or so. Thankyouverymuch for that. Just sayin'.

 3. Balancing treatment I received during class yesterday is working. I can feel it. Can I say I love acupuncture? This stuff flat out works!

 4. Son is headed to NY from the Middle East, and knowing he'll be stateside for the Summer puts me at ease, somehow. And we'll get to see him at some point for a few days. 

5. JL sent me an article that puts many things, including petty annoyances, quickly into perspective. Thank you JL. Your timing? Once again, perfect.

 And now it's midafternoon, I feel productive and want to crank out some work so life over the next week isn't too insane.

Next week will be interesting. On the docket?

Memorial Day 

 Daughter's wisdom teeth extraction

 Hubby's backpacking trip. (all week..so the very drugged up chimpmunky girl and I will be on our own to navigate the surgery and post days...fortunately we have plenty of experience with surgeries, yes? And this time no knees are involved!!)

 Drought conditions. Which means watering the garden religiously...because those baby tomatoes and other fresh seedlings need TLC right now..and we have to be extra vigilant.

 Work deadlines. Always.

 School stuff, but less than usual due to holiday, taking off one day for the girl's surgery, etc. But still class and clinic..and one really long day on Thursday.

That's about it, for now. I hope you all are preparing for, and truly enjoy your few days off!! I know that we plan to rest and relax and just 'be'...as much as possible, too!

Best,

-Stevie

It's been a minute

Oh, what a summer it's been! Heat, the likes of which we have never seen seems to be enveloping the planet. They told us this would happen, and it is.  Now what? Is it time to think underground bunkers? To really explore moon colonies? To continue, on an individual basis to do what we feel we can to help the greater effort? We bought a hybrid two years ago. We'll probably buy an electric car once we feel like the infrastructure is in place, but right now, it's not.  We recycle. Glass ( WHO is drinking all of that wine?! I ask myself each time I toss the bottles into the big bin.). Food. We compost all but animal products, and use it in the garden.  Cardboard/cans/plastics go in the recycle bin each Tuesday. My husband thinks the whole recycle thing is a big scam, and that all of the recycling and trash gets taken to the same place - the dump - because there isn't adequate staffing to sort and really carry out the recycle process.  I feel this is a cynical view, but ...

Practical glamour

This week, well, is gonna be a humdinger. Why? 1. Trade show. In Vegas. 2. Road trip for fam, but not me because, see #1. 3. Planning 4. Packing 5. Work deliverables. Really. In a week of a trade show. Right?  And, true to form, my Inner Goddess decides to run the fashion show so instead of being satisfied with black capris and my logo polos at the show? I'm going to wear grownup clothes. And hopefully feel like a grownup. With maybe a little style. Outfits for show include: 1. Little black dress, metallic black and gold reptile (distressed) leather sandals with medium heel, pounded gold jewelry. 2.Black and white sleeveless dress with a rounded neck and a form fit. Wearing emerald earrings with that. And cute but comfy low heeled black sandals.  3. Chiffon-y soft toned sleeveless blouse (with a large rose print that looks surprisingly pretty) with scoopy neck, black capris, black platform Bass sandals and big silver loop earrings. Other outfits to ta...

Funny walking and smoke

I've become one of those walking women I used to make fun of. You know the ones I mean, they walk fast and they pump their arms in what, from the outside, appears to be an exaggerated way. I'm one of them. Old knees have forced me to become a funny walker. But I have to say, after three days of just walking? I'm feeling like I'm doing something, not just compromising. That funny arm pumpy thing, multiplied by a million, which feels like the number of steps I take in my 3 mile morning walk, seems to work the arms and get the heart rate up a bit. But the smoke from the wildfires in Arizona? Killing us. All of us. Everyone here has headaches and stingy eyes and we're all a little more on edge than usual. Even for a Tuesday in a week with no holidays.
