each day holds new possibilities. you never know when you get up whether a postcard might arrive.

i've had quite a nice day. i was adaquately busy and my mind has been nicely preoccupied. i'm happy about this, i may achieve my new goal. joy invited me for dinner and i enjoyed a lovely evening with them. i like this new stage of caleb knowing who i am. he climbs all over me, its fun. the kids were great, although, it was difficult to have a serious conversation with joy and tim while the kids screamed in our ears.

i discovered this evening that their lives are no more interesting than mine. when i asked them what was new, joy said "i cut caleb's hair today. that's pretty much it for me". i told them about how i eat a hard-boiled egg and breakfast sausages each morning. actually, i talked about breakfast sausages on so many separate occassions that tim commented "wow! you really ARE into breakfast sausages". anyway, i told them about the time that i bought the some at the store and left without them. joy laughed hysterically at this. i have to admit, joy laughs pretty easily at things and its refreshing. i always get a good audience from her. my sox were covered in rice when i left there.

i've been making it to work on-time/early since last wednesday. "they" say it takes 23 days to form a habit and so by my christmas holidays i'll have been on-time for... aw crap only 18 days. oh well, that should be ok. i actually think for me the 23 days rule is not accurate. its not hard and fast. usually for me, doing something in a similar way for about 3 to 5 days constitutes a new system.

tomorrow's another day.
tuesday.

p.s. i feel offended as a graphic designer.
p.p.s. i need to sew my button back on my coat. and my pants.
p.p.p.s. i feel a new sense of determination. fueled by self-respect and a sense of pride. it helps setting attainable goals.
p.p.p.p.s i'm sorry that i'm so cryptic. its not intentional i understand what i mean.
