Good Saturday

(Day Twenty-One)

Today was a pretty good day. Whenever I have a pretty good day, I like to try to identify the things that actually made it good -- so I can do more of them, I suppose. Here's what I think were what made today good:

I got to sleep in.
It was a busy day, but it was productive and almost everything I did was something I wanted to do
There was talk of the future. We met with the contractor to talk about finishing the attic, and though the quote was more than we expected it to be (that's probably not abnormal, is it?), it's still exciting to think of the possibilities and how great those rooms could be.

Time with Michael. We took Clyde on a walk and did a lot of talking, both about the attic and about life in general.
Food. I had waffles for breakfast and McAlisters (mac n' cheese!) for dinner. Then I came home and made cookies. So basically it was a very satisfying food day. And somehow I still kept it under 1200 calories, so I feel pretty good about that.

It was a beautiful day -- not super warm, but warm enough to only wear a light jacket, and the sun was shining.
I got almost 13,000 steps. It's been awhile since I even made it over 10,000, so that's pretty good. I feel like a bear coming out of hibernation.

There were still some crappy things that happened today. I woke up and my phone wouldn't work, for one. We stood around the Apple Store for 20 minutes waiting for our appointment with the "technician," which was annoying, but my phone is fine now and I didn't have to pay anything, so even that annoyance was minimal.

So overall, it was a good day. Now I think I might crawl into bed and watch an episode of Scandal (I think I might be on the last one :( ). You know what's best? It's only Saturday, so there's still a whole other day of the weekend.

I'll try to write something slightly more interesting tomorrow.
