(as the lovely bodhibound reminds me.)
on sunday afternoon I went to the animal shelter for volunteer orientation– I’m going to be a dog person (they make you choose between dogs and cats), so we took a couple of the guys out and about. felt really good to be around dogs– just the tail-wagging, panting, happyface energy of them did more good for me than I can say. so now I’m just waiting for the call to schedule my first real training shift.
first snows, bunchy drifty flake clumps. the other evening I stood out in it for a bit, just watching as I spoke on the phone with my sweet friend moni back in iowa.
payday and grocery shopping. making chicken soup from the carcass.
the anticipation of being reunited with someone you love and miss.
the signposts on my block without caps that yodel mournfully in the wind off the lake.
finding parking right away.
a cup of hot tea and a home-baked muffin.
knocking out debt bit by bit.
jaw and neck feeling much better.
vox friends. cell phones.
having a job to complain about going to. :)
