The power of positive snoozing

Has anyone here ever read The Glunk that Got Thunk? It's a really old Dr. Seuss story from before he got all famous. It's about a kid sister who basically dreams up something nasty (the Glunk) that becomes real. After our hero and the sister banish it together, the story ends like this: Then I gave her quite a talking-to about her thinker-upper. Now she only thinks up fuzzy things in the evening after supper.

So, last night I made sure to fall asleep thinking about nice things like weddings and how happy I am to have my bug, and lifting. No career thinking, no TKD thinking allowed. What happened? I had fine dreams, woke up when my clock rang and got in here at 8:05 (the earliest in weeks) in a good mood. Okay..... lesson learned!

I feel so... human...

damn, I'm having a good day! Four of us went to Trader Joe's at noon... we got lunch and random goodies, and sat out on the grass by the river eating and sharing. It was so nice to just be outside in shorts on a warm day! I brought back chocolate-covered peanut-butter-filled pretzels for the company, and have myself been slowly grazing on nori-covered rice crackers all afternoon. Do they coat those things with crack, or what?

Work's also going rather well. I really like the guy from Company X whose job it is to help integrate our stuff with their stuff (same role I have at my company). Which is good, because I am getting kudos for playing well with others, even though it's basically luck that he and I have similar styles.

Anyway, off for a run in the nice weather and then home to HLM.
