"Today I didn't even have to use my A.K. I got to say it was a good day"

Today is a beautiful day.  I took the dogs for a walk this morning first thing and with my new friend, Dogtra, they were remarkably compliant.  The air smelled lovely and it was just the right amount of cool and warm.

Last night my brother drug me out of the house to go play pool with him and some friends.  I'm terrible at pool.  But it was fun and mostly I appreciate him caring about me to eject me from my all too comfy homebody routine.

This is going to be a great week as I have purpose.  Over a week ago I finished my book.  Then I had a mandatory week-long hiatus from even looking at it, no opening the file, nada.  Now I'm cracking that sucker open and tearing into.  I feel better when I'm writing.

This week I am getting a copy of my birth certificate, a divorce, and a passport.  I'm waiting for a few important things in my life, endlessly waiting, such as the judge's decision on benefits.  But that doesn't mean I am powerless over everything in my life (I think my wise sister had to point that out to me for me to get it).  Also, she has a passport and I always think it is terribly cool when she uses it as her ID.  But then again, she is terribly cool to begin with...

I'll end with a quotation:

"My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation."
Arthur Conan Doyle
