To Reiterate: :)

Today, in contrast to yesterday, was a through-and-through good day.

I had a good think after getting up on the early side.
I stumbled on a very nice little park while trying to round-about my way to the just-okay park.
I had a good think at the park. A very good think. A soul-contentedness kind of think.
Had a good talk with Ryan after I got back.
Got to work with H, Boss Lady, and L, all of which I really, really enjoy working with. Also, L was in a good mood, which means feisty and giggly. And working with Boss Lady is always just fan-freaking-tastic.
Got out of work an hour early.
Left work with what may be my new favorite drink: vanilla rooibos tea latte with vanilla syrup (or, as I called it on Facebook, a double-vanilla rooibos latte).
Returned home to find that Ryan did indeed get my text about getting out early and put the soup on so it was hot when I arrived.
Also found that Ryan had gone grocery shopping, getting my bagels, iced tea, milk, and....BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING. I'm keeping him.

The only thing that could have made the day better...

...

Nope. It was pretty damned good. :)

Tomorrow is my last day of five work days in a row, 1 to 9:30, and then I have Sunday off. Sunday is the first South Bend NaNoWriMo meet-up, and I'm really excited about it! I plan on spending a little while at my store first, reacquainting myself with my novel idea, since I haven't touched it in over a week.

Next week's schedule is interesting--two 8-hour days, 1 7 1/2-hour day, 1 7-hour day, and 1 5-hour day. Then Friday and Saturday off in a row. The week after that includes a weird three day schedule that goes: Off, 8 AM to 2 PM, Off. o.O

All in all, the next good while looks to be a good while. Yay. :)

And now, back to my soup...mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
