Today started out perfectly normal--tired, cranky, tripping over dogs at 6am! I am not a morning person, my best mornings start like that! Dreaded going to work today--my first day in the office since our new computer system went live. It's actually working better than expected and I'm sure in a few months once we know what the heck we are doing and all the little bugs are fixed, it'll be a great tool.
Fast forward to morning coffee break...go to get a decent coffee from the shop across the street. I had to search for a pair of sunglasses! First time since October it's been bright enough to need shades!!! That alone was enough to make my day but it got better!
This afternoon, Stuart calls asking what was the name of the camera I said I wanted. I have been researching DSLR's for months and finally decided on one! He was flipping through a paper from last week and saw an ad from the local camera place with the one I wanted on sale! Not a great sale price, but still on sale enough that I could get a bigger memory card! I probably could have got it cheaper on line, but the local store has been very good to me over the years and I prefer to give him my money! I just got back to my office from purchasing a Nikon D-80!! It's now sitting in it's purrty black box on my desk, taunting me.
Seriously, that wasn't even the best part of my day! I ran home on my lunch break to let Anvik out for a pee break. He's still on crate rest, but he is doing much better! I checked the mail on my way back to town and there was a package from my Mom. Tons of pictures of my nieces. I adore those kids! And a card with kitties on it from my Mom. I come from a family that is not physically or verbally affectionate, but we write a good note! After the usual pleasantries and news from Saskatchewan, she wrote something about our critter pack and said.."I could not handle the heartbreak of the way you have chosen to live your life, but I am thrilled to see my daughter find her calling. We are extremely proud of you."
Ever tried explaining to your assistant that you're not sad despite the fact that you are sitting at your desk in tears? She thinks I'm nuts!
