Upbeat, birthday, dinner commute
I woke up this morning in an oddly good mood, especially considering that it is full moon time again. I dunno things just seemed good. I had an interesting little project at work I was wrapping up today, I had some projects on the planner for the weekend that will be worthwhile, next week I have Wednesday off for 4th of July, I am doing a 300 work out today and Ali was going to the Wellness Center to join and was planning on doing a few of the group classes. It all added up to a feel good kind of thing.
Speaking of feel good, I have certain articles of clothing that just make me feel good when I wear them. A lot of my big sweatshirts do that for me, although since moving to Florida I don’t have a lot of opportunity to wear them. I have many t-shirts that are in the inner circle of favorite clothes. I have had a new recent addition to the comfort clothes group. It is the long sleeve t-shirt Mom bought at Kennedy Space Center to wear to stave off frostbite. She wouldn’t normally wear something like that so after the visit she gave it to me. For some reason I just love wearing it, especially after doing some sort of hard physical activity. Many times after my 300 workout I will take off the sweat soaked shirt I was wearing and throw on the KSC shirt. It just makes me feel good for some reason.
Tonight after work we are driving all the way up to Sarasota to meet Ali’s friend and husband for dinner at Carraba’s. They are down for a week in Orlando so we are meeting somewhere around half way. A 3 hour round trip for dinner is rather insane but Ali agreed to do it and although I complained quite a bit, I agreed to go with. Ali would do it for me if I asked so it is only fair.
Today is my brother Todd’s birthday. He is 37. I am not sure what is more shocking, me being on the cusp of 40 or Todd being right on my heels. Todd has really been revelling in his role as a father and has built the business he took over from my dad into something very profitable. I’m proud of him.
