Good Day!!
I don't know what is in the air/water/atmosphere/whatever these days but I seem to be in a permanently good mood and I am having way more good days than bad. So that is awesome!! I always wonder when the other shoe is going to drop but I think I'm going to stop that. I think even that is mostly all about attitude - I could be bummed for example that my IT band almost fell off on Sunday, but I choose not to :)
Anyway, why was today such a good day, you may ask? Well a number of reasons. First off I had a decent tempo ride this morning on the trainer that didn't seem to take 5 bazillion years. For some reasons I just despise tempo rides on the trainer so I build them up in my mind all week and dread them, but once I get down to business they aren't that bad. Luckily there are tons of shows to DVR right now and that really helps. I watched the new show about attractive spunky young attorneys that is stupid but entertaining and then I watched part of Grey's Anatomy which I usually think is stupid and even that wasn't so bad. Hooray!! Then I had a good morning at work. That is always a positive. After lunch I trotted off to take a professional certification exam (the PMP exam for those fellow IT geeks out there), and not only did it take WAY less than the allotted four hours, but I passed!!! I am so relieved. Partly because it would be embarrassing and annoying not to pass, but also because now I won't feel guilty every time I read something that isn't exam preparation material. Oh I just hate that feeling. After the exam I lifted, and I wasn't really excited about that but it was pretty fun, then went back to work for a few, and headed home. The weather was nice today (that could also be influencing my delightful mood), so I went for a nice walk around the neighborhood, and now here I am, reading and writing blog entries!!
I am going to have a quiet weekend as almost everyone I know is in the mountains right now, which I always enjoy. I do have some fun social plans though, including a long run with one of my favorite running partners on Sunday morning. We're running in Boulder, and I love Boulder, so I cannot wait!! Also, although the weather doesn't look awesome for tomorrow (I think the high is 44 degrees), as long as it's not raining or snowing I think I will - wait for it - RIDE OUTSIDE!!! Oh my goodness I just don't even know what that will be like, it's been so long! Hopefully my bicycle will remember how to move forward instead of sitting on its trainer.
And with that I am off for a relaxing evening of not studying!! Have a great weekend all!!
p.s. Wouldn't it be cool if I got an exclamation point counter on this blog? That would be an easy way to gauge my mood :)
