Right before I woke up today, I had a short dream...I was in a store at the mall, Macy's maybe? Hechts? I was looking at Jerry Garcia ties, obviously searching for a present for my dad. I couldn't decide. (If you're familiar with the ties, they're pretty loud and colorful, and my dad had quite a collection in his day. It was my go-to gift for him when I was singing, as I wouldn't buy him his beloved cigars. *cough*) I looked up from the display, and he was standing there with a loving, indulgent look on his face and laughing soundlessly, shoulders shaking with glee. And I started to laugh, too...it was a "yeah, I'm ridiculous...I know." moment, but an exceedingly silly one.I guess that means I'm officially off the hook for his Christmas gift this year.
But a good dream about Pops augured a good day all around. Today I:
- walked the dog three extra blocks on a lovely, mild morning.
- got a new, zippy computer at the office!
- noticed there were PIEROGI in the lunchroom vending machine! (TG, the other basement Pollock, did quality control for me...he said they were great!)
- had sushi for lunch!
- had a great meeting with a conductor.
- drank champagne. Before 5pm. At work. (And I still have a job! Woo-hoo!)
- played and sang a little bit...may have even recorded some takes! (Not brave enough to listen, but that's another step.)
- took a great balance class at the gym, and rocked it!
- ate a Wise Man, two sheep, and the Star in the East. (I love Christmas cookies!)
My five:
- Small challenges.
- Glossy magazines.
- Laughter.
- Fizzy beverages.
- Loving and being loved.
