ramblings

Current mood: happy

Six days since I last posted - that has to be some sort of record. Planning for the move into my new place, spending lots of quality time with Beaudy etc. etc. etc.

Excuses? No. Just explanations for why my journal posts have been MIA.

I often have my computer running in the background (music playing, email open, AIM idle), but I rarely find a moment when I'm actually motivated to sit down and write.

I guess I'm just happy with where I am right now. No, I don't mean the apartment - hence the move. But I'm happy with where I am in life right now and so I don't have much to complain about. It seems my writing is funniest when I've got a complaint.

Ya know what? Hold the phone. I in fact DO have a complaint. For the past few months, I have not been carded when I partake in an adult beverage. What the heck is that about!?!?!?!

And that's it. That's all the complaining I have. I'm out, well has run dry of complaints.

I really like my job and my coworkers (co-STARS). I've got a dog who keeps me laughing. I've got friends who grin and bear my oddball tendencies. I've got fam who would bend over backwards to help me (and have proved it on many an occasion). I've got my truck back. I've got all my own teeth. And while I complain about growing older, I'm truthfully thankful for every single day I am given (in fact, I look forward to being gray and wrinkly and smelling of Bengay, but I fully intend to keep all my teeth).

I'm just... happy.

Okay, somebody knock the sap out of me. It's been an emotionally sappy two days for me. Geez louise. And by that, I don't mean I'm teary-eyed or anything remotely close. Quite the opposite. I reflect on all I have and I'm grateful and I can't quit smiling.

I'm just... happy.

And on Tuesday night, I sign my new lease and get the keys to my place! Woohoo! Perhaps I'll open a bottle of wine that night to celebrate in the dark (power service is scheduled for the following morning). And you know what? Before I take a sip, I might just card myself!
