threadwalkerI'm feeling feisty today.
By the way, "feisty" breaks the rule, "I before E except after C". Not that anyone else cares, but I am a vereh bad spellah. I need me rules.
Why in the world am I so filled with happy? I feel like I could float away. Not that "happy" is bad, but if I can figure it out, I can do it again tomorrow.
Maybe it's the 6 hours of sleep with my boo-boo knee up. Or the fact that it was 6 uninterupted hours of sleep...
Mabye it's because the gas station attendant tried to overcharge me by $5+ at 4:30 am this morning and he got a whole lotta proactive feedback from me over that. I demanded his owner come out and "fix it". She rolled in at 5:00, which gave me 30 minutes to pull out my cell and call the 800-number for Chevron corporate so I could report an attendant who was too stupid to breath. The situation wasn't helped by the fact that I was standing around in the cold weather wearing my running shorts and a tank top, the fact that this is the 2nd time it's happened (yes, shame on me), the dumb clerk didn't know how to use his own equipment and could not speak English. The EMT who was watching the whole thing commented that he got overcharged at same station last week. I'm hell on cheaters and liars. It's probably what makes me good at my job and a pain in the ass when retail places short me. The owner was just as unhelpful. So, another Chevron to cross off my list. (it's the one on Willow pass road and Galindo, near the Brendan. The other station at 6th and Willow Pass has a very sweet owner, so don't confuse them.) I don't think standing outside in the cold and dark for half an hour and being super-annoyed is part of my "happy" day mood.
I ran today. yay! Not for long. I spent an hour on the treadmill and the sensation of running on my knee was extremely unpleasant without being painful. Mostly I walked with an incline or did a slow run where I was hyper focused on form. But it felt great. And I lifted weights. Did I mention I tweaked my back last Friday? Turning 40 must mean the warranty on my back is up as well. Anyway, I was super careful and able to to lots of core stuff. I love endorfins.
The weather is great (for Berkeley, that is).
I saw HRJ pedal in as I was trucking to a meeting and we made lunch plans on the fly. We are picking up our season Tix for Cal Shakes at lunch today and then eating at Riva or Cafe Cacao or something. Both overpriced, but convenient to the box office. ... and even thought that will be fun, it's more like Happy ++ at that point since I was all ready feeling peppy when I saw her...
I've also got something to look forward to this weekend. I'm doing my annual treck to the cosmetic trend show at Nordstrom and enjoying the chance to relax without the dynamic duo while letting someone else wash and pamper my face. Yay! And I love the chance to see if someone can recommend a new lipstick or cover-up. I'm a total doofus at choosing colors, so I'm happy to let someone else advise me. The trend show is how I found most of the cosmetics I use. I'm also dragging 2 friends along. yay! Girlie Day. I think we're having lunch afterwards before returning the our husbands and kids. But we'll be feeling pretty as princesses when we do!!
yeah.. not sure where where all the feisty happy is coming from, but it's awesome.
