It’s time for a check-in and one of those posts that I can look back on to gauge state-of-mind when one day in the future I reflect back to this time and wonder what in the world I was thinking. so:
Some things that made me happy today:
- spreading dirt for a garden in the backyard. I’m hoping to plant the weekend after next
- super cheap ceramic tiles at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore. I’m going to set them in the ground between the dirt and the fence = cheap and non-toxic weedblock!
- last year’s shorts fit. No further comment.
- I got to play with an Asus Eee PC at Staples of all places (I’d give you a link but the site irritates me because it won’t let me browse without entering my postal code). The Eee is as awesome as I imagined — and even lighter. They’re stocking the black one with the 4GB hard drive and 512MB of ram for 399$ Cdn.
Some sad things:
- The rest of the dirt for the garden is in the front yard. I estimate it will take 20 billion and a half trips with the wheelbarrow to get it to the right place.
- It’s raining and cold so I don’t want to work out in the garden anymore today
- I have a meeting with my adviser tomorrow so I can’t work outside in the garden anymore today
- I don’t need an Asus Eee PC.
Isn’t that an awesome list of sad things? I realize there’s nothing major there and I think that’s a wonderful reason to celebrate. Life is good. 🙂
