Today, I Applaud Thee For Not Being Shite

Today:

- was sunny and beautiful with little fluffy clouds
- I had an ice cream cone bought for me by my manager
- I got my first photo journalism assignment, taking snaps of a charity pancake breakfast; also got chocolate chip pancakes out of it
- had a lovely trip to College Street on my lunchhour
- I got a rental offer on my condo
- Justin is cooking steak and frites for dinner
- I (finally!) picked up my phone message from … thank you honey! I will call back ASAP!
- my phone at work got fixed so I have voicemail
- I am leaving at 4:30pm on the dot, should catch the 5:15pm train

It’s a flood or a famine, you know?

My Man Sirus

Some days, I wake up feeling strong, young, bright, Outrageously Unstoppable!

Then there are days when I’m flat as a pancake.

Today, I felt like the uncooked pancake batter that dribbled off the edge of the grill. I was going to listen to some Tori Amos and Tom Waits, but they both seemed a little too cheerful. I had scotch for dinner. It’s not like me, but I was Depressed.

Until that special man came into my life. Sirus. He changed everything.

He’s sweet. He’s loving. He’s teething. And he has no bowel control whatsoever. He’s Alastair and Lachlan’s newly arrived 9-week old yellow lab. He fell asleep on me today for about half an hour after dinner and an exhausting session of ‘pet me while I chew you’. I am in love. Allow me to spread the joy.

Puppy = joy.
