Hey There How Was your Day??

Ginger · 01-22-2015, 10:34 PM

Today was cold. I'm walking fast, everywhere I go. Work was kind of ordinary. I edited one of C's article and we brainstormed a lot with each other about angles for things we're writing. I did a bunch of correspondence, setting up interviews and doing follow up. Just a quiet day. A little boring but in a kind of pleasant way. At lunch I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond with another friend at work. I got a red mug on sale and looked at electric kettles (but they're too expensive there!). After work I went uptown for a reading. My friend S read in a gallery, it was kind of new scene for me, the "salon" crowd—you have to RSVP because it's kind of small. The art was okay, not really my thing, a little too sterile and digital. But the readers were awesome! Saeed Jones, the editor of BuzzFeed LGBT, was one of the readers with my friend. They had a Q&A after each person. I finally got up the nerve to ask a question and asked one of the readers, If you could put poetry anywhere where it doesn't already have a presence, whether in media or a physical place, where would you put it? He said he would put it in everyone's conversations, the tough ones. Then when the whole things was over, I kind of ran out and marched a few blocks to the train. My cell phone died so I couldn't play games; fortunately I have a crossword puzzle in my bag. Then when I got off the train for my stop, I ran into a Starbucks to quickly change my high-heeled ankle boots for running shoes, and jogged the rest of the way home. It felt so good to get out of my clothes and brush my teeth and wash my face. I'm corresponding with a couple people, three actually, that I met online and I sent off a couple notes while watching a new episode of Looking from the corner of my eye. I'm glad tomorrow is Friday.

My day was good… one of the better days this week. Work was manageable which kept me from having to stay late. It was also the halfway point of my 7 day week.

It started out great. I was in a fantastic mood and then, as the day went on, I wore down. Tomorrow will be better.

Today I was inundated at work with all kinds of complicated incidents, but kept myself on task by keeping up with a litany of demanding protocols.

I found myself simply savoring each person who dropped by my desk tonight.
Beautiful people, expressing support in ways that i will never forget. Ever.
I had such an awesome day.

Yesterday was the tail end of the blizzard so there was a lot of snow and wind and shoveling in my day. Today will begin the long and tedious clean up of Juno's mess. I'd rather stay home and drink Emergen-C and hot chocolate and watch movies but someone's got to get the ball rolling.

Yesterday was a very long day of in-service training not that I mind it I know we have to do it every year BUT when I work until 2 am then have to back in at 730 and have to park in my assigned parking lot that is a mile and a half away from the office I get cranky.. Of course I could not sleep when I had gotten home the night before and I had wicked nightmares so ended up with about a hour and a half of sleep.. Then the walk to the office in the butter cold fun time makes for a grumpy Bard I tell you

Yesterday was well, a day. The meeting went abso fab so we shall see what comes of that. I have also realized that my sis and I are starting to do these daily "check in" phone calls, which I really look forward to now. I like to hear her excited and happy, she had a rough 2014. There was only one bump in my day, but it will smooth out. The day ended as it began though, with a smile, and that is the BEST !!

Here is to today.
