Blathering on in a Meandering Sort of Way

At a loss for what to talk about today, I first attempted a post that turned into a rant, so I deleted it.  No one wants to hear me rant.  I don't even want to hear me rant.

Then I thought maybe I could post a picture.  I went into my photo files and almost got lost down that rabbit hole, but I didn't find anything that really excited me for a morning post.  I mean, I looked at some old pictures of me.  Man, was I ever that skinny?  I looked like someone had starved me for months.  And other pictures with that eighties hair??  Holy cow.  I thought I had a photo of me at work.  Sort of a retrospective kind of thing.  But I discovered those aren't digitized and I don't feel like going through the albums to find it, then scan it and all that junk. 

I also looked at some art shots I've taken.  Good stuff, but not really in the mood for artsy today. 

So, here's this post.  It's about nothing.  Not in the Seinfeld way, either.  (And by the way, what is it about Seinfeld?  Seriously.  I mean, I've known a couple people who were totally obsessed with that show, which is why I have seen every episode multiple times.  Even so, I don't get it.) 

This is just me, blathering on in a meandering sort of way, so you don't feel like your stop here was totally wasted.  Or maybe you do feel that way.  Sorry about that.

What's up with you?

And here's one of the art shots I took years ago and then played with so it looked like a painting...

Just a little family walking past my house on their way to the parade.  All those redheads, I had to take a picture.  So cute.

Mental Meanderings

It's Tuesday?  Already?  What?  Where did Monday go??

Between work stuff and errands, I lost most of yesterday and what wasn't lost passed too quickly.  Hmpfh.  For a while yesterday afternoon, I thought it was Wednesday because I'd already done lots of stuffs.  This does not help with my inability to discern which day it is. 

And the time change sucks, of course.  After months of getting up at 4:30, I'm now getting up at 5.  Which is actually a half hour earlier than I was getting up before.  Bah and argh.  I thought I was handling this one pretty good until I realized that was happening.  No wonder I'm still dragging ass at 8pm... which was 7pm...  when I should be awake and alert until 9pm... which was 8pm... The whole thing gives me a headache.

Okay, something happy... happy... I should think of something positive to say here...  The second day of exercising went better than the first.  I'm not sore as this morning as I was yesterday morning.  I did the 5/5/5 in the morning and then walked in the afternoon.  And I made chicken and vegetable stir-fry for dinner.  That's healthy, right?  I also had a bowl of Strawberry Cheesecake Forever ice cream, which wasn't healthy but so yummy.

Another happy thing...  The cardinals are singing their spring songs now.  And the white-crowned sparrows are singing their little ditties.  Spring is in the air.  This is my favorite season.  I love how everything is coming back to life after drab and dreary winter.

You know, I really do feel better when I think of happy things.  Sure, some stuff sucks, but there are always happy things to find.  Sometimes you might have to look pretty hard, but they're there.

And now I hear Hubs rumbling through his wake up routine.  He's doing a bit better than I am with the time change thing.  Go him. 

Time to start the day. Have an awesome one.  And leave something positive in the comments.  You'll feel better if you do.  =o)
