If you gotta go you ought to know I won't stand in your way

Ah, working towards bedtime at what looks like a reasonable hour. This is my last night of pager-free sleep for 3 weeks, so I had best revel in it!

I have nothing significant that is new on the professional front, the Boy front, or any other front. I had a pretty mellow day, actually, with two good workouts and some quality feline time. And a nice phone conversation tonight with a friend whom I've been missing. No complaints at all about a day like this.

Happiness/gratitude list, 24 July edition:
  1. Getting lots of little work-maintenance tasks checked off today. I actually got more done at the office this morning than I anticipated.
  2. Imaginary holidays. I mean, if Utahans get "Pioneer Day", I'm happy to work and take April 21 off instead for San Jacinto Day. That's my cultural heritage, right?
  3. Friends who listen with their hearts. This is such a gift, and I appreciate it more every day.
  4. My really yummy supper- grilled chicken and polenta with nectarine-blackberry salsa. All the best summer stuff in one place!
  5. The tiny Princess kitty who is sitting here next to me purring. She's been a pretty loyal companion lately, and it's nice having her back to her usual sweet self (she was even sociable with her Grandpa while he was here). I did not enjoy her being sick earlier this month, and I know she didn't enjoy it either.
Back in the clinical salt mines tomorrow. Good thoughts, prayers, and funny stories appreciated....and my heart knows it will be fine. I'm just a little post-traumatic still from how awful May was. But the likelihood of a rerun of the strep infection/ broken foot/ post-strep glomerulonephritis episode is close to zero, and for that I'm also grateful.
