Beautiful.

Hours later pictures of the movie crossed my mind and again the wave of beautiful! washed over my emotions. Not planned was this side trip into human subtlety, had only meant to serve as a little backdrop during my brief lunch, the move Dear Frankie draw me in and in and kept me glued to the end. This story of the deaf boy and his mom, it’s just… fine and beautiful.

Sometimes I feel fortunate.

Next to doing a lot of superficial whining, I am also good at seeing the quality and fortunes I have in my life. And even though at the time more muscles were hurting than not, midst my step aerobic workout today I felt this sudden jump of joy as I was sucking in the visuals of my whereabouts. Having our own 200 sqft. (almost 20m2) open workout space is really cool, especially because it doesn’t look like the least loved spot in the house but appealing instead. The 6×6 feet mirror is perfectly sized and enlarges the space even more next to reflecting and adding more daylight. And, today, I fitted even better into the environments as I was sweating all in green. (But geez, do I wish Apple would have improved the camera on the new iPhone 3G to come!).

Intending Intentions

As noted in the past, I excel at putting up a lot of to-do’s which usually results in “failure”, i.e., almost certain that not all of them can be done in the time frame I have set myself. Today was no exception. Though I did get moving again and am back on my daily workout program, sore back or not. And I did advance in our huge office cleanup. But it seems as if it never ends. So much accumulated dust and cat hair from the past years. But so much other I also wanted to do. Intended to do. Back onto the list for tomorrow.

Brendan’s 17th Birthday at Nikko’s

It was an early dinner at 5:30 PM but nonetheless very welcome after a day of cleaning and organizing our new office space. Currently they are running a special at Nikko’s, eat one get one free which doesn’t make the bill to be half but saving $22 off the total is a nice touch. We don’t see Brendan often and this makes the growing up to jump so much more to my attention. One day a 14-year old boy, next it’s somebody who is preparing himself to join the Navy. Then you turn around and he will be married.

Returning to normal and whatever that means.

It is good to fall back into run-in tracks, to find time to do trivial things like going grocery shopping without time pressure or to aerate the yard. After weeks of chaos due to the changes of Wombat Studios and accordingly our offices, time is opening up to pickup where left and to file all the bits and pieces flying all around. Can hardly wait having it all done.
