stormdogSomething is seriously wrong with the universe: I've actually had a really good Monday.
Well, alright. There were some bad parts. Network Support at work is short-staffed because our team leader (I finally have the right term for him! He's not my manager but he's above me, so I had no idea what to call him until Evil Bob used the term) is out sick. I spend all day at work playing catch up and I missed sending out a laptop even though I stayed half an hour late to finish building the thing becuase I'd forgotten to get the address to send it to and couldn't get ahold of the owner. The day was more than a bit stressful and I have a nasty tension headache.
But... Oddly enough I was still in a really good mood when I got home. Maybe it was knowing that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wooisme was waiting for me at home with fresh made tacos. Or maybe it was just knowing that she was waiting for me at home. She's that kind of wonderful. I talked to her while she cooked, told her multiple times how pretty she is (she looks so cute today in her velvet tights and cute wool sweater), danced with her on the kitchen floor, ran into the basement a couple times to finish the last load of clothes in the washer, and sat at the end of the dining room table that's not covered in Ebay materials to eat with her.
After dinner, was more spontaneous dancing in the computer room, this time to the elegant strains of The Internet is for Porn on my love's computer because she is magnificently silly. Then she trekked into the snow to take our laundry out to the 'mat for drying while I contemplated getting my truck into our driveway.
After a bit of thought, I sat down in the cab, started her up, and popped her into reverse. As I mentioned, it will go backwards easily enough, but would not go forward. Well, our house is on a dead end road with a big cul-de-sac at the end. With the winter parking laws in effect, there was only one car parked on the side of the road, so I simply backed to the end of the road, turned entirely around in the big open area at the end, and, now facing down toward the dead end, backed the truck halfway down the road and into the drive way. Problem solved! And even better than that, though it's hard to tell without having someone outside the truck to look for me, I think that all the backing up and braking may have fixed the stuck wheel! I had hoped that it was a simple brake calibration issue and that backing up and braking would recalibrate things and solve the issue, but after trying a few times yesterday, I had given up hope on it. I guess I just hadn't done it enough. I'll have to confirm tomorrow, but that together with spending silly time with my beloved may well make this the best Monday on record.
And that's without even mentioning the fact that the massage that Andrea promised me to help sooth my aching arms and neck. I don't know what I did to deserve her, but it must have been something pretty big.
Speaking of deserving her... The two of us have been so stressed recently and I haven't been the best of mates sometimes in the recent past. I'm sorry my star: you deserve much better than I sometimes give you. I am so very lucky to have you in my life.
So anyway, I still have no money, an aching head, and not enough time in the day; but I'm with my wonderful, beautiful beloved. I need to concentrat more on that, and on my amazing friends and family, and less on the troubles and tribulations of life. And I can start by thinkig about how much I'm looking forward to movies withimandunewen and kritterfox. Good times and good friends: yay!
And maybe soon I can start writing more here too. I just haven't really been in a writing frame of mind recently. I've written things here on occasion that I felt were really beautiful and worthwhile; I just don't think I have for some time. I need to work on that.
