Lazy

* Finishing up a slight busy period at work , and now the rest of the week should be pretty smooth and allow me to work on whatever I feel like working on

* Getting off work at 4:30. Some days I feel the need to stick around
later, others I just go ahead and leave when my 8hrs is up. It's nice to
have flex hours


* Lazy evening in front of the TV without worrying about much of anything

Waters Edge

* Going to a new church (Waters Edge) and having a good time.  It was very odd to walk into a church I have never been to before but know that someone there would know me (co-worker).  I walked in looking for them and scanning the crowd and completely missed one of the other people I know walking up to me until they asked if I had found my co-worker yet, then led me to him.  The service was nice and the attendees are much younger than most churches which is a definite plus for me.  It was nice to see some people I recognize from Ultimate and feel welcome.

 

* Ultimate Frisbee for a couple hours in the afternoon.  Unlike previous weeks it was not raining or windy, however it was a little cool which turned out to be quite nice when running around as much as we do.  The teams may not always come out even (quite often they do not since some people haven’t seemed to figure out who not to group on a team), but we had a lot of fun anyway and I came away sore as always.  I guess the soreness is a reminder to me for the next couple days of the fun had playing Ultimate.

 

* Hanging out with some people from the church I went to in the evening at Starbucks.  We played taboo until they kicked us out due to their new earlier closing time.  It was a lot of fun and it seems like I am getting to know some of the people in this town.  There were about 12 people there, and 3 of them were Ultimate players, and a few more I had met this morning.  If only I were better with names!

Shopping

* Going shopping and finding everything I wanted pretty quickly.

* Assembling my new file drawer. While most people don't like to assemble things once they get them, it gave me an extremely constructive task to work on for a little bit in the afternoon, which helps to satisfy the urge to do something constructive each day.

* Seeing some nice steaks in the discount meat section at Kroger for the first time since I started keeping an eye out for them in early January. I picked up some and am really looking forward to steak and fries for dinner! yum yum. I even put a Chipotle Cinnamon rub on it which I have had once before and really really like.

Warm Drinks on a Cold Evening

* While I know I just mentioned hot chocolate 2 days ago, it is amazing how awesome it is, and how much warmer it can make you for a few hours afterward on a cold evening! It looks like it may be making a reappearance into my regular routine.

* After having run out of cereal (must go grocery shopping tomorrow!) I had breakfast cereal bars at work w/ hot apple cider from a mix! It was so good and hit the spot. It sure seems like I'm back to my warm drinks again :)

* Talking to Tara in the evening while she was driving to Plano to visit Alison.

*Getting in a few games of Command and Conquer

* No traffic on the way to work despite all the warnings weather.com and NASA emails were putting out about how horrible everything would be in the morning.

Hot Chocolate!

* Having hot chocolate with lunch! I love hot chocolate and I was a little
cool during the day, so it was a perfect touch. I had gotten a company mug
a couple weeks ago and finally remembered to take it home, wash it, and take
it back so I could use it. Very warm and nice.

* Being enough ahead at work to not worry about coming due dates!

* Getting a call from Ange after the failed lunar eclipse and chatting with
her, and tara, with a few crazies in the background :-P.

Productive Evening

* Getting the laundry taken care of and mostly put away

* Finished sorting/filing all the papers/mail that stacked up since
Christmas

* Getting in a little bit of actual work done in the evening to be able to
round my work hours up meaning I will go less into the negative vacation
hours in May!

* Having a generally clean apartment and desk. A little more work and it
will be cleaner than ever. The desk is usually the stumbling block, but
with the papers sorted, it is better than normal

*Managing to update this on a fairly regular basis recently!
