life

you so wish you were me. 

today, i had to work late.  well, i didn't have to.  but i did.... everyone else had to get stuff to be by 5, which all came at 5:30.  i made 3 people look good tonight, and my boss is very aware of it. 

so i left work.  it was still before 6.  and it was beautiful outside.  so instead of catching the train at my usual station, i kept walking.  i walked past the white house, down to the tidal basin- where the cherry blossoms are in bloom, and around the washington monument, and to the mall where i got the train at the smithsonian station. 

the only thing that i regret is that i didn't have my camera with me today. i would have taken pictures of the blossoms, the adult kickball teams (apparently all the rage around these parts) and a picture of the USDA for the good reverend. 

I love the neighborhood i live in-- even though my place leaves something to be desired.  it's so quiet here.  everyone is friendly.  there are people walking everywhere.  and there are all these brick sidewalks. 

i walk past all these beautiful row houses, which i dream about winning the lottery and and buying. 

so work is going good.  i am finally getting over the trauma that the last job gave me.  I was at that job for 3 years-- and all previous people who had my position lasted less than one. hell yeah i was burned out.  it really took alot to to get over that-- and i am still getting over it.

there are alot of bugs i need to work out with my new life-- but it's a good one.

    I am so glad to hear that "life is good" for you! Once you settle in it won't be so hard to fit what you need into the weekends.
