The Rhythm of Motion

I can’t wait for tomorrow!! Whee!

Yet another “first” happened to me yesterday. I got an e-mail … from The White House!!!

Yeah, I couldn’t believe it either at first. But it’s true. Granted, it didn’t say much … well, here. I’ll paste it for you …

On behalf of President Bush, thank you for your correspondence.
We appreciate hearing your views and welcome your suggestions.
Due to the large volume of e-mail received, the White House is
unable to respond to every message, and therefore this response
is an autoreply.

Thank you again for taking the time to write.

Talk about mixed message … I got the feeling that this note not only puts you into your place within the big bushy scheme of things, but it’s supposed to be an honour to be recognized for a comment. Actually, it took me a few minutes to try and recall what they were talking about. I don’t remember actually writing to the White House, of all places. Then it occurred to me that I had signed a petition a little while ago in regards to some environmental travesty. (Actually, I’ve signed quite a few of those lately …)

So! On to other news!

I quit my job with the Census office. I just couldn’t get past the “repugnant” aspect. That and I was sick of trying for a business casual look with an extremely limited business casual wardrobe. I’ve been working in the barns for over a year now, people … that’s not exactly wardrobe friendly. Especially when I lost enough weight that what I did have looks ridiculous on me.

I’m just not ready to rejoin the call center “pool” … that’s all. Too many fish in there already. And they are hiring more!

I’ve been getting some exercises into my routine too. It’s unfortunate that I’m starting with a 100 lb mini dumb bell, but I get by with it. I’ve got a fudge up routine going and I’m already improving in numbers in a couple of areas. Today, I added the crunchies. In a fit of inspiration, I put my calves up on Jade’s weight bench, instead of just bringing my knees up. It worked very well. Spot worked out with me too. While I lay on my back for my crunchies, Spot lay on his back too, right beside me. He didn’t get any crunchies in for himself, but the moral support was well thought of. He was just so KAWAII!!

(That means ‘cute’, y’all.)

I got a decent start on my chapter and the ball is rolling to finishing the story off. I’m not sure that I like what I’ve done, but it can always be spruced up a bit. We’ll see. It’s the start that matters.

I got an early start at my client’s today. If I’m not going to work downtown any more, then I have time to bust my butt with yard work. It was so nice and quiet too. I love working in the mornings. I don’t always like waking up for them, but early mornings are very peaceful for me. They always have been.

**basks in the personal joy of that peaceful morning feeling**

My plants are starting to bud and bloom. My yard always seems to be one of the last to do so, but it just makes things look nicer when my plants are still blooming and everybody else’s are done. One of the peonies is so blossom heavy that I had to cut some off to help it stand up! They are on my table now … hope I got all the ants off!

I’m going to take a moment or two … okay, I’m going to take an hour to write this aptitude test now. Can’t hurt, right? And if they ask for money after, I can tell them to go away, right? Right?

**sigh**

…

19:30

Okay, I still haven’t done the test yet … I keep getting distracted by other things … like cleaning, organizing and making dinner. Then I was picking up some comics from their “hiding” place … and, of course, I had to read one … eh heh.

I’ll do the test after supper. I promise. Besides, now that my desk is a bit tidied up, it’s STARING at me! I must complete it to make it stop!!

I’m off and away!

Talk at you tomorrow!

Sweet Dreams!!!
