I'm Havin' This!

It's Saturday. I've only worked four days this week but they were full. We made strong progress. All the whining I've been doing about work for the last month is nearly over. I read a few of the posts and realized this has become more and more an outlet for me to whine about work like some kind of puppy who is spending its first night in a new home. Relentlessly crying into the night, expecting some kind of reprieve from the uncomfortable knowledge that things have changed and will never be the same. There is no going back for the puppy. Wait, why does that seem so dark. Shouldn't the puppy be thrilled to be part of a new home, a loving home? Does a puppy even have thoughts of that nature or is it simply a predetermined animalistic instinct? Then how does it happen? I've heard of every puppy doing it. Maybe it is the loneliness of being away from its family or the confinement. Who knows? It really has nothing to do with me shutting up about work issues, just something I started to wonder while sitting here. I guess that's why they call this the musings.

I decided fairly early on this day that I would be taking the day off. It's nice to come to that realization and to be able to sit back and enjoy it. I will make several mistakes today. I will not drink enough water, solely through neglect to my own well-being. In that vein I will probably order a pizza and consume it all over the course of the day much like a lion devouring a kill before it spoils, despite my ready access to a refrigerator. I'll alternate between the X-Files and NHL15 on my PS4. My two hobbies. It was cold last night and I don't trust the weather to not sour again or I'd buy and plant my flowers for the summer. I have some lavender that I'm growing from seed that is clipping along in the kitchen but it won't be enough to cover my deck. I don't have any nagging tasks that desperately need to be done. I am looking forward to this escape from the everyday. I think it will be good for this and for me. I hope to keep you in the loop to the haps over the next day and a bit.
