#prefectday

First day of fall

9.5

              I really feel like I could have had a 10 day today but I just had to ruin it by starting my lady bits construction time. BOO!!! It was a beautiful day out and I didn’t even mind waking up early to wash my hair (for those who don’t know me washing my hair is a big deal), and shaving my legs. I even wore a skirt to work.

              It was a great day at the office, I really wish it wasn’t such a crappy economy because then I could ask my boss for more hours. He allowed me time to meet with friends and family so that I could rock out some new clients. I had yet to do this in the almost four months I have been with the company but I’m confident I managed to sign up at 4 friends today. It never occurred to me that I was going about this the wrong way. I was feeling pressure to perform but I wasn’t, I was failing tests so I couldn’t move up in the company. But my boss was very reassuring even though I know he was losing one of our biggest clients to the biggest loser.

              I somehow felt that I needed to make it up to my boss and go out and get people to replace that one family. The people I managed to talk to will never make up the loss of that one family but my boss was grateful for my effort and seemed impressed that I managed to handle myself alone. I like the feeling of being a useful member of my boss’s team.

              What made this day even better was that I know I am now helping my friends save money for the future I will be able to assist them with their future hopes and dreams. I know that sounds a little over the top but I that is really how it made me feel. I don’t make commission so that also makes others feel that I’m doing this for their best intentions.

              I felt so great that the cramps that signaled the start of my period went barely noticed, and when it started I didn’t even feel the normal upset failure  that normal comes with it. I felt too great that I didn’t even mind that I likely got a parking ticket because I was dumb enough to rush and forget to pay for parking. When I started driving I didn’t even mind that my husband had gone golfing for the third time in as many days. The sun was shining and it was warm on my face the leaves have mostly changed colour but are still hanging onto the trees so it makes it seem so beautiful outside that all you want to do it stay out.

              I pulled up to the house and the dogs were barking and going crazy like they always do and it hit me on such a nice day I should walk them. I got in the door and went straight to the room to change when I saw it…. Mr Kitty’s first hair ball. A new cat owner should be warned about things like this. I actually thought my cat had eaten poop and then puked it back up just based on the shape. When I used a bag to pick it up I almost screamed from the way in mushed in my hand and broke apart. I don’t know what made me look down but I guess it’s good I did or I wouldn’t have known it was hair. I called the vet to ask if there was anything I could do to prevent hair balls and the girl all but laughed at me and stated “welcome to cat ownership.” One every couple of weeks should be considered within normal range. Sweet. And yet this whole puked up hair thing still didn’t manage to ruin my day.

              Jeans on and out the door we go… normally I hate walking more than one dog at a time but today was a cloud nine kinda day I guess and I was loving it. The sun beating down on the dogs and I, the smells of autumn all around. It was prefect why not go through the treed area and straight to the dog park. We barely made it into the trees before I let the dogs go and they took of chasing each other they seemed just as happy as I was. We walked around the dog park and watching the dogs being to so happy made me feel even better about the day. I could see it on Bear’s face all he wanted to do was go for a swim so I took the dogs to water and off they all went. They didn’t even think twice. Bear was like a little kid at the beach, I love when the Hawaii dog comes through in him, I knew we would be there for a while so just took a seat on a rock and waited. They bounded around in the water getting out only to chase other dogs and shake. Man we’re they ever happy!

               I gave them about 30 minutes then took them away from the water so they might have a chance to dry before we got home. They ran and chased just about anything they could. A falling leaf was like crack for them. We ran into a few other dogs and owners and I got the usual questions of “what kinda dogs are those?” and “where did that one come from?” People always seem to be scared on Bear until they realize he is completely harmless. We’ve now been out for a walk for about an hour so it’s time to head on home. I let the dog’s burn off the last of their energy in the treed area right up to the street. They get back on leashes without any trouble. And they drag my tired ass up the final hill. They get in the house and drink up all the water in every bowl before they all pass out on the bed.

              I figure that I won’t have a better chance to write me landlord to inform her that my husband and I are considering moving out in the next couple months. I’m still in a great mood so I leave out the fact that the mold in the house is scary and the constant construction next door has finally pushed me over the edge. I ask my landlord for assistants in finding a place nearby. I even mention that all be sad to leave this cute old house (not a lie) but we feel that we might need something a little bigger.

              She didn’t email me back tonight, hopefully her email still works. And the reason today isn’t a full 10 outta 10 is because I called my dream house but he didn’t pick up or email me back either. But that still didn’t get me down. My husband cooked up perfect meal and we even had enough left over for me to take for lunch tomorrow. Hopefully I won’t forget it.

We are now sitting with the dogs and Mr. Kitty watching season two of the X-files. My husband went out to get candy which I am sad to admit I destroyed along with a Cherry Coke. Again all in all a pretty good day.

Sorry for the boring read tonight but I sure hope I have more days like this one. Here is my happy thought for tonight…. 

                                      “Well I see trees of Green and red roses too.

                                        I’ll watch them bloom for me and you

                                        And I think to myself
