High/Low Week 34, 2010

This afternoon I felt an edge of irritation about me. Wasted some brain cells ruing some past incidents and fretting about some upcoming responsibilities through work and the condo board. Wasted, because as we know... everything's gonna be all right.

It's nice to have schedules in balance. Work is not consuming the evenings. There's enough time for us both to get in sufficient exercise. We've been reasonable in our diets, and looking forward to splurging a bit for a midweek getaway (more to come!). Got to see a movie or two. Had a couple thorough nights of sleep. Lots of activity as volunteers (the condo board's picked up quite a bit lately, and Dena's been busy with the Great Banquet retreat).

We won our soccer game in a shootout, with my penalty kick the winner.

Dena got word that her name was dropped to U.S. Rep. Dan Brady, regarding her availability for graphic design. Sort of like someone giving you a free lottery ticket for this weekend's drawing, exciting even though remote to pay off.

Progress was made in healing my laptop. I may have it back early next week.

Mom's not close to selling her house, but thanks to our friend Rosann she did spy a condo in town that caught her eye, and made contact with a realtor to learn about a couple of others.

Talked to Jack, whose softball team is doing well and has successfully transitioned back to bachelorhood without legal struggles.

In the spirit of adventure, had a super experience with Essentials Day Spa right down the street from our house.

The fantasy baseball teams had a stellar week. Only two teams are out of first, and those two moved closer to the top.

Good to hang with the extended fam this afternoon. Gotta love the efficiency of all-in-one birthday parties. Will give Jane credit for this one, since she just seems the type to devise it.

It is so easy to be thankless for good health. Life is a flawed but bountiful gift, especially with so many winning numbers to cash in!
