What's the fly in your ointment? My big meeting today went very well, but now I want to go have a cocktail and then a shower. But instead, I must work for the rest of the afternoon and then go to another philanthropy planning meeting. What's standing between you and desire this afternoon?
for once, nothing. I am sitting here having fulfilled my work for the day, and am now blazing with extreme passion about an entirely new set of comedic material for my next stand-up show.

spoke too soon, dammit - see my FPP.

Complaining about little things? Can do! I actually hustled myself downtown --- a twenty minute walk in the rain --- and arrived in time for the farmers' market... or it would've been in time, if only they hadn't closed up early. I arrived with 40 minutes to spare, but by that time the only stand remaining was selling seedlings. So. No greens or flowers for me this week. Wah wah wah.

Then I went to the library to pick up the one book I need, and it's mysteriously missing from the (newly organized) shelf. It was all very pleasant and reasonable and I'll check back in next week, but GRAR I WANT BOOK. BOOK MINE, GIVE ME BOOK.

But. All the way home, I reflected on things that did go well, or just brightened my day, and on reflection, I'd say my day has evened out.

I'm getting nauseous from the licorice but I can't stop eating since it's so good.

For several months, I have had this craving to partake in that thing that's associated with 4/20. Yeah that.

Problem is, no one in my immediate circle is involved with that at present, and I am not sure how to scratch that particular itch easily. It feels skeevy calling someone who I have not talked to in awhile, solely for that. And if I found some, I am concerned that I'll regret it.

The fact that it is grey and dreary looking outside and has been for the past 3 goddamn days. It is almost the end of May and I expect it to be warm and sunshiny for my not-real-vacation in 2 weeks. Goddamnit.

(Plus that it has officially hit the slow season at work and I AM SO FUCKING BORED.)

Wednesday run. I have the afternoon off (which I was planning to use for running and then errands and housecleaning) so was going to go for a run immediately, but instead I sat on the couch and ate popcorn and watched last night's Glee and then mooched about online. I'm still in my running gear and have to go NOW or else I won't have time to shower and sort myself out before picking up the kidling.

rain. I have a huge mess outside, it was not supposed to rain until tonight so I started a fairly big project in the yard and then it rained before I thought it would and so now it is too muddy to finish. And it is likely to rain a lot more tonight and tomorrow so it might be Saturday evening or even Sunday before I can continue.
One of the little pads came off my (wire-frame) glasses yesterday. I got it fixed today so it's no longer poking my nose, but it was WAY more of a hassle than it should have been to get it done.

So, the fly is no longer in the ointment, I guess. But still.

I am trying to use my remaining days of known opportunity to engage my crush to a point where I can ask her out to coffee. But she is giving me maddeningly neutral e-mail responses to everything. It's her work e-mail so maybe she doesn't really want to get personal, but it's the only one I have.

I mean, I wouldn't be doing this if there weren't strong body language signals on her part. I thought she'd be more receptive now that I have the time to be more direct.
