AAA

After my detour yesterday I woke up early today to do the errands I didn't do yesterday only to get in my car, put the keys in the ignition and have nothing happen. It made me wonder what message I was suppose to be getting from these daily plan changes. Thankfully, I had decided to get AAA a month ago and the AAA battery guy showed up in a half hour with a new battery! My neighbor filled me in on the fact that my cabin light had been on all night the other night, but since he is new to the building he didn't know which condo I lived in. Nice way to meet your neighbor. I am hoping tomorrow will not continue in this pattern. It's time to go back to work!

Locked Out

For the second time since I have lived in this apartment I locked myself out. Thankfully, both times were on my days off and today was a beautiful, sunny day! I had to purposefully not get frustrated with the situation and find the humor and blessings in the situation. I was thankful that I had my purse on my shoulder with a book tucked inside. I was thankful that my bus pass was in said purse. I was thankful that my landlady was home and on a bus route. Between the time I locked myself out and I was able to get the spare keys I shopped at Goodwill, ate lunch at Ivar's, bought an iced vanilla latte and chocolate mint cupcake at Cupcake Royale and walked many blocks in between. Even though the day didn't go as I had planned it was very pleasant!

A Summer Read

I finally started one of the five (yes, five) books that I recently purchased from Barnes and Noble. It was a "happy graduation" gift to me. :) I started reading Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese yesterday; it was the beginning of a stretch of gloriously sunny days in Seattle. I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far and look forward to a day at the park or the beach to continue the story. It has been a very enjoyable few days off so far!
